Another fun side of veganism is spotting other vegans in a crowd!

Case in point:

Supermarket, Monday night

Guy: Hey, I like your shirt! (I was wearing a Roots of Compassion hoodie with the saying 'Until all are free, no one is free'.....like this girl actually! Only I wasn't making that face.)
Me: Oh, Thanks!
Guy: Are you a vegan?
Me: Yeah! Are you?
Guy: Yeah!
(Big cheesey vegan grins all around.)
Me: Do you live in Amsterdam?
Guy: No, I'm just visiting for a few days.
Me: Oh right, because it's kind of a small vegan world and you tend to get to know all of the vegans around here....
Guy: Oh, yeah, no just visiting. ...Do you know Gijs?
Me: Gijs! Yeah I know Gijs! (Gijs is an Amsterdam vegan.)
Guy: That's who I'm staying with. I'm here with his girlfriend.
Me: Santina?!
Guy: Yeah!
Me: No way!

And then around the corner comes Santina, girlfriend of vegan Gijs.

So, what did we learn?:

A) it's fun to spot and connect with other vegans in the crowd! And easy too- just look for the black hoodies with a message!

and

B) it's a small world when you're a vegan! Especially in Amsterdam!

More vegans need to come here please thanks!
