One thing bothers me about all of this for years.

The landmass that connects Europe, Asia and Africa has been desired by all kinds of rulers and empires for millennia. From the Black Sea to the Fertile Crescent, this has been happening for so long. As a kid I used to read the Bible and history books to get a sense of why, how and when. Well there are many reasons.

Thing is, every landmass on this earth that connects one or more continents, thus trade-routes is very beneficial to control. How many empires has it been now? Who knows? What matters is that this is not new.

In 1921 the Ukrainians could not unify and the the Soviet Union took over. In 1991 the Ukraine became kind of independent but was not quite stable yet.

Now it is 2023 and it is a cluster-f**k. Well, read and learn. That is the fate of this particular landmass between Europe, Asia and Africa. It will not end.

 

Everything ends in tragedy.

 

Very LOL when most of the FL GOP Reps are backing Trump over DeSantis except for one Congresswomen who used to work for DeSantis.

 

I hope the U.S. will have a president that knows how to behave.

Kindness requires more inner strength than most people realise.

In NL some people celebrate 10 years a king. Some people detest him. He sometimes forgets that he is only the king because of the deal the monarchy made in 1848. Post 1848 Europe could have been without monarchies. He is not the smartest head of state. I hope he learns.

 

Look close and you shall see Eazy-E!!

 

My friend Lau, a pursor with KLM concurs with your opinion of him. She tells me afterwards whenever he's been piloting one of her KLM flights that he's a bit socially awkward but obviously wants to try and mix it up with the 'little people' from time to time. Security takes up the entire front row of seats dressed as unconvincing tourists. lol

What are you up to for Kingsday this year buddy?
I might just stay at home, get a couple of tompouces in and have a nice cup of coffee. rock n roll.

 

I work in Amsterdam tomorrow. Whatever happens, everybody expects chaos. The municipality of Amsterdam sometimes just closes off parts of the city and you have to hope you can actually find a way.

Good thing most of the building/renovating in the city centre has been finished. Imagine people using holes and containers at building sites for toilet or vomit purposes.

 

They can use our special, dedicated thread now.

Or just go to Romford, Essex, UK, 2.00am Sunday mornings.

 

As a public service you can buy a truck full of buckets and give them to partying people to keep the streets partially clean.

Call it a bucket party...

 

...removing Amsterdam from my "places to visit" bucket list...

 

But I'll visit your house

 

I haven't been to Amsterdam. Maybe I'll put it on my take-a-bucket list.

(I have visited The Netherlands. Had a wonderful sailing holiday there)

 

I've seen the pictures... that's a hard pass

 

Boooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

Find a local who can show you around (in order to avoid the tourist traps) and focus on the quiet places. Like every big city that thrives on tourism, between 7 and say 10 A.M. you can move around with more ease and actually enjoy the morning sun.

When you learn the routes the locals use to avoid traffic and tourists, you just relax and enjoy.

 

Or just avoid noisy, stinky, busy, expensive Amsterdam altogether and go exploring around NL. You can get anywhere in this tiny country within a few hours! lol
The beaches north of Scheveningen, Zandvoort and further north.The Amerongsebos. The Veluwe. Den Haag. Haarlem. Lisse at this time of year is very colourful!
