Newspaper

We do still receive a printed newspaper. It comes with subscription we have for the online version and a daily newsletter. It is a special expat-week-edition in Dutch and we have had it since we moved abroad in 1997. At that time we lived in London and I would wait for it. We received it without a big delays.

When we moved further from Europe delays in receiving became bigger. However, I still liked to read some background stories and used it for the kids to look for words/letters and even read when I taught them how to read and write Dutch (they speak it without any problem).

Now we receive them with a big delay (this is the last batch we received yesterday) and because everything is online we do not even open them, only when we break a glass or a plate. They are great for wrapping....

When we cleaned up for Christmas we found a stack of about 20 unopened newspapers underneath our coffee table and realized that this is actually a waste of paper. My husband promised to look into it and see if the paper version can be cancelled. Not sure about the status - will ask him tonight!

I prefer print to an online copy, but agree if you are not getting around to reading it, that is not a good bargain! Nice photo

Great shot, I am a little jealous lol....I with I receive them. I had for a while a magazine but sending cost became too expensive. I prefer paper but if it comes so late it is less inviting to read.

Nice shot. It has been years since we had a newspaper delivered to our home

Nice composition. It was not too long ago we were concerned about our use of paper and trees were the object to save. How things change.

Nice shot. Thanks for the story. One gets so much worldwide news nowadays that newspapers have become redundant. However I used to enjoy looking through newspaper articles.

Ahh, we had a subscription on that same Expat edition during our 6 yrs in Brunei ; when moving to Kazakhstan we changed to the digital version of the Volkskrant because that’s a morning edition and we were 5,6 hours ahead of the Netherlands there ...
