Booze, Red Light District, Booze

I still have a little bit of the hang-over from the Amsterdam Saturday night-out. Well, I mixed beer and wine. How stupid can that be? Anywho, I will let the pictures do the talking. I am sure, our very dear guests, Rik da Man and Mrs. Frivolity will do better with the coverage! (Check their blogs for MORE PICTURES and Graceys too!) So Euroweenies, here are the pics, I will not be emailing them anymore. Enjoy!

THE MEET in Leidseplein

We just need to grab some drinks first! Heineken rules!

At the Heineken Hoek Bar & Café in Leidseplein. Me and Rik, aren’t we sweet? Haha.

Cee with her luscious pouting lips!
ON THE WAY
In the streets of Amsterdam… got to walk faster, we are hungry. We want our Thai dinner!
The Dutchman teasing me again with the camera…
LET’S EAT! BANGKOK RESTAURANT

The food was really good, but we had to sit in this long table and every time someone has to get out to pee… everyone has to stand up and get out of his seat. Ugh.

Cee, lemme borrow Bill for a sec!

The man who horded, during dinner, all the penisauce, ooops pindasaus! (pindasaus means peanutbutter sauce)
Lovely smile there Gracey =)

Thai food... my favorite was the seafood dish, 2nd to the left.

Foto shoot - Amsterdam dinner class 2005!
THE THREE SISTERS BAR in Rembrandtplein
A really cool pub… The first time I have been here was in March 2001 when I visited the Dutchman in Holland.

Rik at it again with his Guinness! That’s me and Bill with our pretty backs, hehe.

Busy at the Three Sisters Bar.

The Lovebirds.
Me and Rik, our adopted American Euroweenie who kept complaining the whole evening why there are many giants in Holland.
Me enjoying my beer while Cee enjoying her butt move.
A candid shot. I look funny, I look drunk.

The gangsta PEACE men! Rik and Mike.

AMSTERDAM’S RED LIGHT DISTRICT

You would not believe this but there are sooo many ladyboys behind the red lighted windows! The Englishman disappeared for 5 minutes, or did he do it on purpose? Cee? *wink*
Rik and the Dutchman can’t stop ogling at the ladies of the night. Yeah, MEN.

Oh my!!! Cee is so naughty! Think the guy on the left wants to join us. LOL. Here's more, CLICK THIS.

Got to pose and do the vogue!
Prostitute’s behind the red windows. Did you see that guy going in???
Perusing the fuschia prize… if it’s soft enough, and if the size fits?
Whee... I take it home!!!

BAR HOP in ZEEDIJK near the RLD
We were clueless that we were in a gay bar. But Bill knew it quick. As usual Rik got “hit” in the loo!
We could not find any windows available to wait on customers in the RLD, so we settled for this door-window by the gay bar. Anyone want us? Hehe
The freak in the Drink & Sink Bar who kept whispering on Rik’s ear inviting him to go to the next bar where naked girls are dancing. Haha.
TOO MUCH BEER? TAKE IT HERE!

The Amsterdam men’s “loo” at 3 o’clock in the morning…
Welcome to my world! After years in the fast-paced tech world, I am now in my 50s and embracing a slower pace of life in the Dutch countryside. This diary is a collection of my favorite things: the joy of country home life, my new journey into gardening, and my lifelong passion for travel. Whether I am nurturing my garden, nesting at home, or exploring places locally and abroad, I am documenting it all. Come on in. I hope you enjoy your stay!

Balkan Roadtrip - Bosnia Herzegovina: Visit to Medjugorje / Medugorje

By

My friend Bubbles, whom I was travelling with in the Balkans, had a request that we stop over at Medjugorje. We got lucky because Medjugorje was on the way to Dubrovnik, Croatia, which is our next stop. Half an hour into our driving, we reached Medjugorje. Parking was not easy to find, but we struck lucky and found a space not too far away from the Saint James Church. Medjugorje or Medugorje is a world-famous Catholic pilgrimage site due to the Our Lady of Medjugorje, who claimed to have seen a series of apparitions of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, to 6 Bosnian children at  Križevac Hill .

Bangkok, Thailand: The Story Behind the Impressive Serpent Statue at Suvarnabhumi Bangkok International Airport

By

If you fly out from the new Bangkok ‘Suvarnabhumi’ International Airport, the huge, colourful and impressive mythical statue popular in Thai and Indian culture, the 3-headed serpent Naga (his name Vasuki) in a spectacular tug-of-war scene with its mid-section body wrapped around a stone, which is actually a mountain, and Vishnu one of the supreme deities in Hindu is sitting on top, will greet you as you finish immigration and step inside the airport’s duty free shopping area. You just have to stop and be dazzled by it. The whole installation is impressive and as I took pictures I wondered what the story is behind this scene. After much googling around, I found out that the statue is very famous in Hindu culture and religion. This legendary scene is called ‘Samudra Manthan’ in other words in English – the ‘Churning of the Ocean of Milk’. I have no idea why it is called the ocean of milk though, perhaps it is mere an expression of allegory. There is no official state religi...
