Sate Daging and Nasi Goring

[hotwine]

Hell, I can't even pronounce it!

Quick tale: in '74 while visiting the Hague on business, I and a friend tooled around Scheveningen (sp), looking for a restaurant for dinner. We spotted a place, but parking was very limited. There happened to be an open spot along the curb, but it had a sign over it that was totally undecipherable. We stood on the sidewalk, trying to figure that thing out, and along came an elderly Dutch couple, out for their evening stroll. They immediately sensed our bewilderment, and the lady said softly, "The sign says you may park here between the 18 hour and the 6 hour if you wish" (overnight, IOW). In perfect English, of course. Then they both smiled and shuffled on their way.
