About the dirty Dutch postal system.

Well, for us people who thought Dutch people were liberal and open towards other cultures and opinions, this came as a bit of a surprise.

Let me know if you got the job. ;-)

My friend and good photographer Sarina entered this contest for a trip to NYC and some more prices to it. Have a look at her work and vote, it’s really good stuff!

Here I will tell what ABN amro can do for an expat that is lost!

Just spent half of my evening at ABN amro Leidseplein. I got good help and the info I was looking for about: home insurance private/business (evidently Dutch landlords only pay for broken windows), student account, savings/funds/shares,loan for business or housing.

First time I have had time to run errands in a long time and I was met with friendliness and useful info. She even switched my language so that I in the future will get English info. Good stuff!

Spring?

When someone turns 50, this is what may happen in Amsterdam. A doll in our entrance.

Love the Italian restaurant Julia’s @Amsterdam central station.

Superfast quality food and good service (but be aware, they will most certainly compulsory ask if you would like to include a drink).

Interior design with relish and freshness. Additional sideoptions such as tiramisu, tomato bread, olive oil in a cool bottle makes the visit even more worthwile.

All boils down to a perfect last savior when working late with shitloads of homework to do and many (other) great food places are closed.

Thank you Julia’s!
