Life in The Netherlands
from April 2000
I now work a The Haghe, Netherlands. Here are
some pictures from my album.
At home
Dutch and bikes
|
Dutch people can sometimes be parano....
I can believe that a lot of bicycle are stolen, but
still... |
|
My nice bike. |
My dutch friends
|
Nienke was my roommate in Montreal, She's
from Groningen, in the north of the Netherlands and she
invited me at her place for a weekend. Of course, it
was raining, as always in holland, and we went out
without a raincoat (dumb move), so we walk from cafe to
cafe, with some stops outside, like that one in a garden.
|
|
I went to Maastricht to see a show with
Christel, in the south of the country. The region is
called Limburg, it's stucke between Germany, Belgium and
Luxemburg. His cousin Ivo came with us to see An Pierlé
and Laïs. |
|
Suzy and me in front of the Maurithuis and the
Binnenhof in DenHaag |
|
Sate is an indonesian speciality that ended up
becoming dutch. It's based on a peanut sauce (yummie)
that cover meat, chicken usually, french fries, with some
roasted onions. There is often small stands in the street
selling it. That was in Groningen with Nienken and we had
to find cover under a tent because the rain just caught
us off guard. |
Funny stuff
Other trips
|
Jean-Laurent, Elona and Perrine on a cute
and small bridge in Edam, that day we went the four of us
to visit the area. |
|
A street in Edam, note the cheese
shelves. it's the yellow-orange stuff you see int he
store, some have one foot of diameter. |
|
After Edam we crossed a dyke. It's very
long, enough to not be able to see the land from the
middle, so we're on a road with nothing but water around,
nice. |
|
Kukenhof, where the tulips are from, and
since holland is the home of tulips... thisis an
exhibition of the producer, they show all kind of variety
they can do, and there is a lot. |
