gearing up

Tuesday, May 23. 2006

We've been getting into some of the nitty gritty details of the multimedia meeting in the Netherlands this weekend. Like with the help of the Wikipedia picture of Amsterdam's Centraal Station, we decided that I would meet Leinir on the west side of the main entrance on that blank wall. Hoo-ray for the Internet.

First order of business: How do you pronounce Leinir?

Since I dislike walking, and its the "when in Rome" thing to do besides, I'll probably be renting a bicycle for Thursday. If I'm not too jetlagged, and after looking at the other touristy things to do during the day in Amsterdam, I decided to see the Van Gogh museum again. The things I didn't do in Amsterdam the last time, like the Anne Frank house or the Heinkein Experience (Come on Heinkein, 10 Euros? Budweiser makes watery beer, but at least Grant's farm is free and has a zoo!) still don't sound as appealing.

> First order of business: How do you pronounce Leinir?

hm, instinctively I would bet on something like "Laynear" (English approximation). Or "Lie-near", maybe. But it's not my language, so don't trust me

I heard that the Nemo museum is worth a visit. It's an interactive science museum mostly geared at kids but hey, who doesn't like playing with tech toys? If you're interested check out http://www.e-nemo.nl/

But you get 3 beers and a souvenir glass for that 10 Euros at the Heineken Experience

3 beers would cost like ~7.50 in pubs, and the glass is, well, priceless

Congratulations for being like the 10th person to point this out. I haven't changed anything, talk to Clee.

The Rijksmuseum (very close to the Van Gogh) has a temporary exhibition comparing the works of Rembrandt and Caravaggio, definitely worth checking out. Oh, it's already Thursday... oh well, hope you enjoyed yourself ^_^
