I have entered the Amsterdam Marathon 2010 in October- the 8 KM race that is. I am very happy to see on the map of the course that there will be THREE Red Cross teams on hand and samba music...

Every 5 years the biggest nautical event in Europe takes place in the harbor of Amsterdam. Tall ships from all over the world visit the city and millions of people watch the ships.

An official Homo park in Rotterdam

While other countries are troubled by some dark nightly park activities by some men, the city of Rotterdam actually welcomes these and so there are new signs in the Kralingse Bos in Rotterdam which state that men can have sex in this designated area (Oh: and to warn others maybe)

When we arrived home we noticed a new sign in front of our house: Our street has been declared a no-alcohol zone. Nothing to do with Ramadan though - just a council measure to reduce to nuisance of some heavy drinkers at the canal :-) I am still not sure what this means for Eddie in our own house...

Hamburg

On our way back from Sweden we decided to stay the night in Hamburg and to visit the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe. It was good to be back in hamburg after 20 or so many years and to see that the city is completely renovated and updated for the better. We had an excellent (German) dinner and will be back soon to discover Hamburg some more.

Hmmm..
