Ouch Part II

Namur, Belgium

Okay, I think I have a better computer now but still a shitty keyboard... Why oh Why would you change the keys around... Oh well, I've spent a lot of the day online looking for some kick ass jobs for while I'm over here and I'm starting to get better at using this thing.

So, where was I... oh yes, Rotterdam harbor. Zoom in on this bad boy.


The Jolly Roger flying proud

So the nationalists among you will have quickly spotted the Canadian flag; maybe even the UN one folded up in front... But the PIRATE FLAG??? I knew right away that Rotterdam and I would get along just fine...

And of course a little stroll down the harbor found me at the ultimate bachelor pad of all time:

The Cube House

My life will never be complete unless at some point I get to live in a funky-ass cube. Fortunately I can pretend:

The Cube Attic

And just to make sure I had a damn good time in Rotterdam, The North Sea Jazz festival hit town while I was there. At a stiff 80 euros it was tough on the pocket book but I decided to splurge and check it out seeing as how it IS the biggest jazz festival in the world. It was a good decision. I left the camera in lock up so there are no pics to show all you ravenous dogs but I got to see BB King. He might possibly be the smoothest man alive. Even smoother than James Bond.

Anyway, it's getting late and I'm tired of fighting the keyboard so here are a few pics of Amsterdam and Leiden to get you all caught up.

Giant Chess in Ansterdam - serious sport - damn right I played a game.


Amsterdam hotel by night.


Windmill in Leiden.

Until next time everyone!

That cube house is sweet! I bet there's lots of cool and unusual architecture there. Keep up the updates and pics! Hopefully you'll find some standard keyboards before your next update.

I'm blown away by your pic of the hotel by night! That is absolutely stunning! Great Job! hehehe keyboards... didn't some in Scotland have the same issues? Maybe same issue but not as serious. BB KING... my dad saw him in Georgia I think and LOVED him. Said he was amazing!

Keep having fun. Loved the cube house although I think walking around in when drunk would suck
