Recurring Dreams
I'm pretty certain I never want to live in Australia again but in between bouts of insomnia are persistent dreams of familiar beaches, surfing and warmth hitting on my body. The frequency of the dreams is getting a little disturbing now..
Restaurant Week in Amsterdam
Last week was Restaurant Week in Amsterdam, for ?25 you can try a 3 course menu at one of Amsterdam's finer restaurants that you might not usually be able to splurge on. We were a little lazy with organising so we only got to try two restaurants, we will definitely try and reserve in advance next year.
Where in the World is Angela Rhodes?
It's been so long since my last update, between work, being knocked out by the flu right after NYE, insomnia, headaches, wedding planning and bleak Amsterdam weather I haven't found the time or the inspiration to update my blog at all lately.Until I took a little break down Sunny Portugal way.

Clogs and Tulips: An American in Holland

September 2010 - What's on this month?
or september in Dutch, is the month that falls after augustus (August) and before oktober (October). As you'll notice, the Dutch don't capitalize the months of the year. This also holds true for the days of the week (maandag, dinsdag, woensdag, donderdag, vrijdag, zaterdag, and zondag).
The Heineken Experience

What's a schrijfgroep?
And you know, even though it's a Dutch word, I've had the same question come from native Dutch speakers. To be fair, it's actually two Dutch words shoved together to make one. The Dutch love to do this.
