Lessons for Society: Lesson 3

A while ago some ingenius group of people thought of some short animation to let the dutch population know that we should live in a more social manner... or something like that. Today number 3.

The dutch translation is to be found below again:

In het park Wim is in het park. Daar komt Els. "Wil je neuken?" vraagt Wim Els loopt door. "Kapsonestrut!" roept Wim Els is stom. Wim is stoer De maatschappij, dat ben jij.

In the Park Wim is in the park. There comes Els. "Wanna Fuck?" Wim asks Els walks on. "Arrogant cunt!", Wims shouts. Els is stupid. Wim is tough Society, that's you.

A while ago some ingenius group of people thought of some short animation to let the dutch population know that we should live in a more social manner... or something like that. Today number 2.

Again, the dutch translation is to be found below:

In de Tram Mies zit in de tram. Daar komt Oma. "Mag ik daar zitten?" "Ik ben oud, en een beetje moe." "Optiefen, ouwe graftak!" zegt Mies. Oma moet huilen. Mies is blij. Nu kan ze lekker blijven zitten. De maatschappij, dat ben jij.

In the Tram Mies is in the tram. There comes Granny. "Can I sit there?" "I'm old, and a little tired." "Fuck of, old bitch!" Mies says. Granny has to cry. Mies is happy. Now she can keep sitting. Society, that's you.

It's in dutch, but translation is to be found below:

De plas Daar is Tim Tim moet een plas Waar moet de plas? De plas moet in het potje Tim ziet geen potje Tim is dronken Tim plast tegen de fiets van Jet Dat lucht op! De maatschappij, dat ben jij

A View of Utrecht

While I'm in Slovenia again, I found some time to post a couple of pictures of Utrecht.

More Miffy

Last saturday I saw more Nijntje in the city of Utrecht. See below.

Miffy

A couple of days ago I went to the "Dick Bruna Huis". Dick Bruna is despiritual father of Nijntje ("Miffy" in english). It's a smaal Museum, but it's really nice to see it and to see how he works and what he does besides writing child books. Here are some pics.

Biking.... boom!

A good thing about Ljubljana: There are biking lanes. But... it seems that you really have to watch where you're biking. Otherwise you might end up in a bus stop. It's maybe a little hard to see, but the small lane at the right side of the white line is a biking lane.

Srečno novo leto!

First of all: Happy New Year!
Second: I'm spending my holliday in Slovenia.
Third: I got a camera (Yeey!)
Fourth: Here's a picture of the River Ljubljanica in the center of Ljubljana, Slovenia, in an X-mas atmosphere.

Give us back New York

Soup and magnets

At this very moment I'm still in Slovenia. The weather sucks... but after 5 weeks of great weather maybe I shouldn't complain. O, what the fuck, no reason not to complain: The weather is just shitty. And to make it all some juicier, my bowels started to be kind of recalcitrant. And at the moment I'm writing this I'm eating the most disgusting soup I've ever had in my life... it's supposed to make me better. So let's hope it works, otherwise I've eating this stuff with the taste of, wel let's not give it a name, for nothing.

Where I actually ate a lot better was in Macedonia. Not that the hotel where we stayed had such a high profile kitchen, but on several occasions I had good meals. One of the places where I ate was near the main (tourist) street in Ohrid. Somewhere, semi hidden, was an entrance to a place, followed by a staircase which lead to a sober restaurant. The restaurant had two balconies, and on one of them I had my lunch, with a nice view on the main street (see picture) and on the background the most annoying sound of rattling magnets, sold by some idiot on the street who had to show the working of the stupid things every 10 seconds... But besides this moron it was a nice place to be and the food was quite ok as well.

And furthermore the weather was extremely good. Sunny almost every day, and high temperatures. Finally a holliday where the weather co-operates. In Netherlands at the same time the temperature reached the same tropical hight (as almost everywhere in europe). Not that it matters to me that at the moment I leave my home country the weather becomes great, not at all, as a matter of fact it always seems to go that way. And when I come back it will probably be the same drowsy weather as always. Well, again, I must not complain now... I'll do it later, hehe.

Well, as my bowels are trying to attract all my attention, this is it for now...

Eurotrotter

Long time ago since my last post, but meanwhile I have been in Slovenia, Serbia and Macedonia. First a couple of days in Ljubljana, then me and Lara went by train to Belgrade, and visited two days of the Exit Festival in Novi Sad. After those days we went for two days to Macedonia. We visited Skopje, Ohrid and Bitola. The weather was extremely good, with some less comfortable extremes (40 degrees C, and no wind). But mainly the combination of good weather, nice views, nice people and pretty good food made me have a good time.

At the moment I am back again in Belgrade. In a couple of days we will leave by train again to Ljubljana (Slovenia). So three more weeks or so before I am back in Utrecht.

This is it for now. Later I will write some experiences down here... this was just a sign of life, hehe.

Forgetfullness

I found this on the net. Nice poem from Billy Collins with an animation of Julian Grey.

Strange bird

Ever heard of a bird who can make noises like a photo camera or a chainsaw? Well neither did I... but they seem to exist. Oh, and don't be bored to soon, the strange noises will start after approximately 1 min. 50 sec.
