Musical Boat
This guy totally cheered me up after a 2 hour transition meeting with Matt. Sunshine, stupid tourists, and a musical boat. Pure happy pill!

Mikey
Yes he's always this smart-assed looking, but sometimes more flatteringly depicted. He's the genious behind the language of Kah Ra Shin
Tourist Photo Guy
This is photo guy #2 - I tipped him 2 E for his photo. Joseph told me that he did it too, and that the principal of another agency in Amsterdam put out a book of them. I guess it's pretty obvious.

Mr. Love and the Stallions
Mr. Love and the Stallions
The violinist (one of the Stallions I suppose) from Mr. Love and the Stallions at Winston Kingdom on March 9th. They were a young band from Utrecht .
Poor Bicycle
I borrowed this bicycle from Matthijs - and someone - or something - xompletely bent the handlebar. Why? Poor thing.
bird
I'm now realizing why that Brit laughed at me for taking a picture of the bird. They things are everywhere!! This one is scavaging for fish bits after Albert Kuyp market closed on Saturday.
