Hello England

Some times I think I want to move back to England. The people are not as rude and arrogant as they are in Amsterdam, they talk to each other – and to me – in pubs and they don’t take themselves or their country very seriously, which makes them a hell of a lot funnier than the Dutch. Conversation is a national pastime.

London Trip

Four days in London, at Social Media Week. I was only anti-social when I photographed the plane. Something about “not allowed to” is so compelling to disobey.

Here’s some pictures and observations.

To Geneva

This must be the fastest checking ever for me. I took the 6:38 train and was at the  gate less than 20 minutes later. And that included checking in, taking off my shoes and emptying my bag on the conveyor belt. Feels… Adventurous to live that close to the airport (without the  bother of plane noise). When i lived in the UK i often carried my passport with me. The thought of being able to leave the country at any time was very appealing. Apparently, i havent changed that much.
Oh and in case you’re wondering, i am off to CERN for an interview. How cool is that! To visit the place the web was invented. Yay

Spookschip

De Ariadne vaart in 22 uur van Patras, Griekenland naar Anconca, Italie. Ze heeft plaats voor 2000 passagiers, een handvol barren en rustplaatsen, een kinderbioscoop, een internetruimte en veel, veel lange gangen. De reis van vrijdag had slechts 40 passagiers, onder wie 25 vrachtwagenchauffeurs en 5 vrouwen, van wie 1 alleen op reis. Niet mijn gezelligste oversteek, dit.
