Weird, the first picture isn't in Amsterdam, but in The Hague (Den Haag Hollands Spoor).

You could argue the same about emission zones which are common across Europe (mainly in inner cities). Just because your vehicle is allowed on the road, it doesn't you can drive it anywhere.

Yeah, and of course the superficial stuff is easy to grasp, like one character is lazy, or the other more of a dreamer who achieves nothing. But you feel like there are things going over your head.

At the moment I'm reading Dead Souls by Gogol. I've been at it for a while. It's a bit heavy for a summer read, but I'm enjoying it somewhat. It's fun to see all the colorful characters that come across, but I have the idea a lot is going over my head as I'm not that familiar with the Russia of that time. It's sad quite a bit is missing of the second part.

Only about 70 pages left. The next book will definitely be something lighter...

Het leek me leuk om een plek hier te hebben om het over de Nederlandse natuur te hebben; van de grote uitdagingen waar de natuur voor staat, persoonlijke ervaringen, tot en met hoopvolle herstelprojecten.

The signal to other advertisers is more of a victory than the case itself.

Maybe we can also add the Macedonian Empire while we are at it

The Ottoman Empire never ruled in east Arabia (apart from Muscat) or in the central areas, did they?

Nah, went off on the "bigger and uglier".

And surely the Chinese did it fine, but Yugoslav Brutalism is just something else ;)
