Yesterday I went to Amsterdams Historisch Museum. Temporary exhibition about 'city animal' was nice. It's about animals that lived in Amsterdam through the time. What kind of animals could be found in the past and when they disappeared as human moved in. There's also a show about how do they keep the birds away from Schiphol (it's dangerous as they cannot fly away from plane's engine, yet if they got stuck there, the plane is in danger).
Oh and one nice thing: I saw what it'd look if a bike is taken from the bottom of Amsterdam's canal.
Permanent exhibition was quite boring. OK, it's even in Lonely Planet's itinerary for one day. The idea is nice and all. But personally I think it is too elaborative for history of one city only. This permanent exhibition has nothing to do with more general history, it is exclusively about Amsterdam's history.
I like the media presentation about how they build Amsterdam. How the map looked like in 1600. Where they started the city, how it grew, etc.

anonymous caller
Yesterday I got 5 anonymous call. Private number, that's what the display said. Normally when it happened, it means I got an international call. That's why I didn't reject it. But this time, it's not funny. Every time I answer, the caller suddenly hang up. Even one in midnight!
So, if any of you guys happened to try to call me yesterday, please drop me a line, let me know.

Hot Chocolate
Should I stop drinking hot chocolate?
There is a machine at work where we can get coffee, tea, chocolate, etc. for free. I started to drink quite hot chocolate quite a lot. Then I realised something wrong happened with my stomach -- or rather, my digestive system. OK, I'm not going to use all my Dutch word here (believe me, I know a lot of Dutch words to express this thing).
Digestive system is always my problem (it's in the gene though), so in the beginning I didn't really pay attention. Only yesterday I realised that something change. It's not only about cold anymore (yes, cold has something to do with me and the loo). Thinking, then I decided to try to reduce my amount of hot chocolate and see whether it helps.
Today I only had a cup of hot chocolate (can't resist to have it) and my stomach was perfectly fine. Phew, maybe indeed it is the problem. Poor me, I can have free hot chocolate and I cannot take it! :((

babysitter
Yesterday I was pissed off. Felt like being treated like a baby. I wanted to shout: Stop babysitting me!
