Wow, most of those buildings are form Amsterdam! Nice! By the way, those narrow builds... most of them do really exist in RL and are narrow build. Amsterdam was booming in the 17th century but couldn't expand out of the city walls, so the only way was up.

7 Greenwich Main Time... that's only one hour later in the Netherlands (GMT+1) So I'll try and join.

That is the last line of a song called "Nature Boy". It is true by my own experience. Live each day like it was your last. I thought she made it up herself...But I've never heard of that song before. Who wrote it? And who's the singer?

My sister tought me this one: the only thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return. Now think about that one.

That brown stuff is sugar... pure sugar... so there are lots of carbs in that ''cocktail''. But that taste :mouth starts watering: ...

This picture was taken at the Tong Tong Fair in The Hague. And indeed, it is South East Asian drink... in this case Indonesian. The ''worms'' are actually rise. And I must say... I loved it! Man... that taste and smell.... biggest problem was the amount of carbohydrates... I have diabetes and those two don´t allways combine in a nice way.

I guess you've never seen the boats here in Amsterdam then... half naked guys/girls on them... But most of the 80 barges are filled with people celebrating our freedom, celebrationg a great time with music and such. In Amsterdam you'll see barges with the severall organizations like: the police, the mayor of Amsterdam, secretary of defence and part of the department of defence, reprecentives of the municipality of The Hague and the municipality of Rotterdam, Gaydar, Gay Romeo and many other companies and such. But there is allso a boat for under 16 and 65+ GLBTs.

I think I should show myself too. Becoming more active at this site so... let me show you who I am: Picture was taken during a vacation. I'm not reading but trying to solve a word finder. My sister and I. Picture was taken so my mother and stepfather have a ''painting'' of the two of us. Was pressent for my stepfather. He has a simular pictur of his two daughters and in the middle one of him and my mom. Me tasting Cendal the first time in my life. All pictures can be found at www.travbuddy.com. My nickname is Dqfn1 there, but profile isn't public there, only for travbuddy members.

In August there will be the Amsterdam Pride with the Parade on the Saturday... Not sure about the specific dates yet.

Technically the country or the Netherlands only borders to: Germanny, Belgium and England in Europe. In the Caribbean the country borders with Venezuela and Curacao (Bonaire is part of the country), Saba and Sint Eustatius border with Sint Maarten (Dutch part) and Sint Kitts and Nevice. The kingdom has the borders posted by Wiecher. So like the UK there are severall countries within the kingdom. Aruba, Curacao and Sint-Maarten are seperate countries within the kingdom.
