Tuesday I had the job interview. I am not very good at those. Always screw up, because I am not good at presenting myself.. When I get questions like: 'Why do we need you in our staff',... I just block.. I think I don't like to show off to people I don't know.. I am rather more like a man of action than just plain words. When I feel no pressure and feel at ease, it's no problem to show myself... however when I don't know you, or don't trust you, I'll keep quite. Anyway... I think the job interv

Yes!!! We have our 'nieuwe haring' (new herring) again!!!! Vlaggetjesdag (Small flags day) - I thought it was referring to the small toothpicks - with a paper Dutch flag attached to it- which sometimes come with the herring. But... traditionally you eat (raw) herring like this: Originally though ' Vlaggetjesdag' was the Friday before Whitsun. All boats fully decorated with small Dutch flags, would be in the harbour. The day after, on Saturday, fishing boats would leave the port to catch the her
A beautiful free spirit from Holland.
Reinier Sijpkens, bringing joy, smiles, colours and lot of nice music while swinging across the canals with his lovely hand-operated-organ-equipped boat and playing the trumpet.
One of those very pleasant and happy moments that make forget the sad things of this world.

Don't know if it was on the news in Thailand, but here lots of people are talking about it. 'The Big Donor Show' on channel BNN, a show where three contestants can win the kidney of someone who is terminally ill. First show will be on TV next Friday.
There were questions in the parliament about the TV program. The Minister involved, Ronald Plassterk, says he won't ban the program, because albeit he believes the program is not ethical sound, he still doesn't want to impose censorship on it, bec

I was biking to the city centre to purchase the newest book of Haruki Murakami, called 'After Dark'. They didn't sell the hardback yet, so I decided to wait until June and get it then.On the way back home I had a flat tire.... Damn it! So I walked further...Then a guy looked at me and said: 'Hi, got a flat tire? I'll fix it for you in a jiffy!!' It turned out he liked to help people and get some conversation in return. He used to be a bike mechanic. He had just helped another 'customer' and whi
On Queensday we saw this awesome woman carying a huge Alphorn... she was willing to play a tune for us:
What do you think of that? She was a Swiss woman, 86 of age and showed some cute blonde Heidi pictures of the time she was still 18... hahaha!
Every april 30th we celebrate Queensday in Holland. It was the birthday of Juliana, former queen and mother of our present queen Beatrix. Our flag is red,white and blue. Since the name of the Dutch monarchs is "van Oranje-Nassau" (of Orange-Nassau) our national banner has always been orange. Therefore, the Dutch national color has always been orange too.On Queensday all streets look orange. People dress up in orange. Orange drinks, orange cakes, orange hats are everywhere. This is only matched

Yesterday, I met my good friend Eveline. She stays at her parents in Bussum, while being on a holiday in Holland. Still living in Chiang Rai she works there as an upper elementary teacher at Piti Suksa - Chiang Rai Montessori school. Same school as where I used to work for two years. I knew Eveline before I came to Chiang Rai. She was the one inviting me to come to work in Thailand, for a position was available in her school.She will return to Holland in four months, and bring her Thai husband a
Today I had a very weird day.After I came back from the hospital I in the morning (I needn't go to my work), I went home drinking a coffee and checking my e-mail. Working on the computer I discovered that the battery was almost flat. The electricity adapter was broken! Went to a shop nearby to get a new one...Coming back, the key of the front door of the house kept on turning... The lock wouldn't open!In Amsterdam 3 or 4 people live in a house, each having their own appartment. Nobody at home...
This week, the weather in Amsterdam is quite warm. Reason for everybody to go outside and enjoy the sunshine.... These pictures were taken yesterday on Sunday. I drove my bike around town and shot some pictures....

Dutch youth has invented a new kind of house... Like 'gabber' had its roots in Rotterdam (gabber means 'mate' in Dutch), so does 'jump'. It comes with a jumpy kinda gabberhouse and a kinda lifestyle... http://www.jumpingisnotacrime.nl/ Silly? I dunno... its keeping the kids from the streets... Now they can practise their steps at home, haha...
to all you beefeaters and 'moo'-eaters:I have to admit: I still eat meat. However, I try to eat less meat by buying a lot of vegetarian stuff instead of meat. Also I pay a bit more buying myself meat of which I know the animals have had a descent life before they died. I don't know whether these links of 'the meatrix' (cartoons) were ever posted here on TF. At any rate, it can be a good reminder as well.the site: http://www.themeatrix.com/

Today I heard a very funny definition of 'communication':
I'll try to interpret from Dutch (in Dutch: 'zo dicht mogelijk langs elkaar heen praten'):
comunication is:
'the closest people can get to talking at cross-purposes'
