What must I eat while in Dutchland?

Today I spoke to a shopkeeper and I asked what sort of dutch food that I should try. However, it has to be dairy free based. I was asked to sample 'kroket. It's basically deep fried croquet made of flour, and inside it has sauce with some beef pieces. I felt it's more like snack and for me it's a bit saltish.

Then my friend told me I must tried their famous pea soup or known as Erwtensoep. It's basically thick pea soup and served with cut sausage. It's yummy but really filling.

Biutiful Sounds from Westerkerk, Amsterdam

Come ride with me at the Amsterdam Canal for 2 minutes

Anne Frank Huis

I heard so much about Anne Frank for the longest time. Finally, I came to Amsterdam to visit the building she and her family hid. The building is also an office of his father's spice business. Going through the sections of the house was rather humbling. There were words quoted directly from her dairy about what she felt, heard, seen and finally her hope to be able to see and feel the air outside the house. At the end of the tour, Anne's father Otto Frank, formed a foundation to fight against prejudices against races, religions, and etc. I feel Otto was a great man and protective over his family.

The story of the Moustache T-Shirt

In year 2009 around Christmas I have written an incident in a t-shirt shop at Covent Garden, London. Basically, the shopkeeper got his IPOD stolen from the shop! The full story here :

I aMsterdam

I am finally in Amsterdam .. I stayed at Stadhouderskade where it's very near to Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum. The city is not big and walking around the city seems pleasant so far :)) Enjoying it.

So it's 2011, what's next?

For 2011, I have decided to do more subjects in each term. If I am on track I will finish my college by the end of 2012. And after that I can practice as a counselor. The number of hours spent on counseling work are more important that the college paper work apparently. The recognition and salary is seems to be based on experiences and exposures. However, I will also wanting to take up the Master degree. With master degree and I can operate my own counseling license. My biggest challenge would be the pay, I need to make sure I meet a break even for my expenses. One step at a time.
