I’ve sailed the seven seas, and you’re the sleekest schooner I’ve ever sighted.

So get off your arse matey and vote for t'Pirate Party, ayyyy! Either in Austria or in T'Netherlands, you choose.

Well, me hearties, let's see what crawles out of the bunge hole...

Ahoi!

Another Fiat 500

This is just the beginning of a great collection. Enjoy!

Another Weekend

I finally managed to get me a new bike. It is a little bit smaller then the last one but looks quiet similar. I'm sure there will be some photos sooner or later.

The weekend turned out to be pretty good, we found a nice restaurant hidden in a small street in the city center. They severed steak with strawberry sauce and cheese tart. Delicious! Saturday was more of a club night. Stayed at some bars near the Melkweg until past midnight and then decided to go for some dancing. The club was called Sugarfactory. 70s 80s Disco Hits all over the place. Very nice evening. And for some reason, I won't elaborate too much in this context, I got towards liking the English a lot more than I maybe used to :)

Ohh, and... Today it's raining cats and dogs.

Bilateral Theft

I just got up this morning, ready to hop on my bike, cycling to work, when... It was gone. My bike, stolen. Away. GONE FOREVER! I'm pretty sure I locked it yesterday, though I might be wrong about that, who knows. The only thing for sure is, I have to take the tram from now on. This is really depressing, since the tram takes about twice as long as a healty ride by bike.

Also my hair got stolen... Finally a new haircut. Photos will come sooner or later.

Stil I'm looking for someone to buy me a new bike... Pleeeeeaaaase :)

Where is the Dance?

If anyone thought Melkweg would be the place to go on a Saturday night in Amsterdam, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you were wrong. For a 10 euro entry fee you get overpriced beer, a shitty art gallery with photographs, my 3 year old cousin could have made, and a DJ that doesn't even deserve to be called a DJ. Some of the worst music I have heared in a long time. Even the girls sucked.

Thank good this is not the usual business in Amsterdam. A few blocks away from Melkweg a rather good night club called The Last Waterhole was to be found. On entrance the Beasty Boys made the crowd dance when soon after a funky rocking jazz combo took over the stage. The drummer went nuts over one song and the singer managed to push the already excited crowd to it's limits.

All in all a good weekend. Nevertheless an overwhelmingly appealing dance club still has to be found.

Addicted to Soup

We just got these wonderful soup automates in my company...

...which means free soup everyday from 9 to 5. With three different tastes let's see how long it takes me to hate all of them!

Amsterdam Gay Pride 2006

Since this blog seems to get moreand more international visitors I'll go back to writing in English. Please excuse me bad skills in this language. Also this is quiet some work, so please let me know what you think by leaving a comment or two. Cheers!

On to the main topic, the Amsterdam Gay Pride 2006...

As there are hardly any big streets in the center of Amsterdam where a parade could be held, people use hundrets of boats and party in the canals. The parade began at Westerdok, moved down Pinsengracht, through the Amstel river back to a place near the Centraal Station called Oosterdok.

After the big parade partys were all over the city. The most prominent places were probably Reguliersdwarsstraat, the Homomonument and the Leidseplein.

And now on to a few more photos...

Later in the evening at Leidseplein ...Girls definitely look better when drunk.
