Weird and wonderful (2)

This is for our hot water in the kitchen. It looks a bit like a mini-boiler, but it isn't. It heats the water as it goes through. We used to have a boiler (5 liter), but you had to wait until the water was hot and then hope you didn't use that much water for the dishes. This works okay, but to get really hot water you have to keep the pressure down - so it becomes a game to see if you can get the water hot enough with enough pressure. I am always ready for a game.

These are our electrical outlets. My brother might find these pretty interesting, considering he is an electrician. But these are NOT Belgian outlets. The person who did the electricity in our house was wise. You see, the Belgian outlets have a pin sticking out of them. Only a Belgian plug will fit. But a Dutch outlet will take a Dutch, German, French or Belgian plug. But don't plug your American hair-dryer into these - it still won't work. Not because I don't want you to have dry hair, of course, but simply because it works with 220v and your hair-dryer (if it comes from the States) runs on 110v. Your dryer will blow up and my electricity and your hair will go on the frizzle.
