Hi Matahari,

Just so you're not alone in the heat. Amsterdam, today, 28-07-2008 is 31 degrees c. and a nice 88% humidity. It feels like the devil just moved his cooking pot overhere.

Yeah you wouldn't believe how lazy some of the fasting employees get in Ramadan. Even though the working hours are less but you still see some people not coming to work at time or not coming at all lol. They take it as an execuse which is hardly is. I mean seriously, can't you not eat from 8 to 2? i don't think it is that hard especially if you already ate shit load of meals from 7 P.M to say 3 A.M. Anyways, this is my first Ramadan at work as well so we shall see how things work out here .

Yeah... But this big boy needs to work for an income. But? Starting up the engine, airco on turbo and just fall asleep for 30 minutes would be nice. Only it wouldn't be Holland if cops didn't fine you for it. Leave you car unlocked ? (With all the junkies in Amsterdam who would?) € 45.00 fine as well.

Hmmm... Howmany years has it been since you've been back in the cheese capital of the world MM? That's why I converted part of my old warehouse I live in into a garage. Half the time I forget to lock my car as well. And it saves me € 385 for a parking license for one car (have two) per year. Old harbor area in Amsterdam, the best place to live.

By for now.
