We spent the afternoon in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Really very worth seeing; there's now a special exhibition on the artists and authors that inspired Van Gogh in his own work.

In the evening Jaap and Mieke came for dinner, and we played a game as well.

Yes, like every year: a birthday on the 21st of February... congratulations Sasha!

Nali ti snaesh che az te obicham!

A poster made me smile when I walked to Chess: "What are your plans for the new cabinet?"

I wrote about Loesje before.

Before we moved to Amstelveen we lived a long time in Florijn, a flat in Amsterdam.

The other day Sasha saw on the news that three people got killed in a nasty family-homicide in Florijn. It happened on the same floor that we lived on. On the picture with the police guys in the article you can see housenumber 502.

One of the people living in the flat said: "This is a rather criminal flat. Last year somebody got robbed of his laptop in the elevator".

Hmm... guess who. I'm happy that we don't live there anymore (although except for this very unfortunate incident we had a very good time there).

Yesterday evening Jerry and I went out in Haarlem. First we went to Den Uiver; there was live-music there. We tried 'Highland Park' and 'Laghar Culin'. The second one was especially very nice.

The second pub we visited was Proeflokaal. We were quite surprised to see the same face there as we saw in Den Uiver. Turns out the two pubs have the same owner. Tried Dalwhinnie there.

We closed the evening in Studio, a bigger pub that we should visit more often.

Spincity is cool.

"Excuse me, can I ask you something?"


"No."


"Do you think street-interviews should be forbidden?"

Sometimes you read stuff that you should have learned long ago. The meaning of washing-symbols.

The Vleeshal closed 10 minutes too early... too bad and then Dekamarkt closed at 17:00 instead of 20:00 because they're renovating it...

To the Vomar instead now.

There were two interviews on TV tonight; one with Saddam Hussein and one with Michael Jackson.

The one with Hussein was so boring that we changed the channel after 10 minutes.
