card-carrying

I may not have a residence permit, but today I felt more like a citizen after I acquired some little pieces of plastic with magnetic stripes in my wallet. I replaced my Safeway Club card with an Albert Heijn Bonus! card. I replaced my Pinnacle Fitness card with a Barry's Fitness card. It's funny that those little cards can make you feel more at home, but really those cards are keys. They allow you to go places a tourist doesn’t go, and probably wouldn't even think about. Now, I can work up a sweat without braving driving winds and rain, and I can get three bottles of spa water for 1.60 euro. I am a now citizen of this city! hee
