LOCALIZADOR DEL SITIO | Anybody out there interested in Brussels? | Jul 21, 2007 |
I'm planning to combine my visit to this powwow with a visit the Brussels powwow a day before. August 3 to 4 I can stay the night around The Hague, so in case anybody would be interested to go together by train to Brussels on August 3th, just let me know. For instance, go to Brussels about 12 am (0 pm) and come back around 10 - 12 pm. Or by car, if you bring one. Or by bike, but than we should go August 2th and stay two nights in Brussels and come back August 4th by train.

| 3rd floor at the Garuda! | Jul 26, 2007 |
It looks like most, if not all, of the 3rd floor will be ours on August 4th! There is a small elevator. I put 12 people down for now, but would appreciate if each of you could indicate your Yes/No on the right of you posting on this page, which will help keeping the people at the Garuda up to date as to how many will be coming. If you can't come, please do not forget to adjust your Yes to No!

Bedankt Marijke voor deze zonnige powwow! De rijsttafel met uitzicht op historisch in Den Haag was ook perfect. Het was mijn eerste powwow, maar zeker niet de laatste!

| Thank you, Marijke! | Aug 6, 2007 |
Thanks for organising this entertaining and informative powwow, Marijke! It was nice to see some old faces again and to get to know a few new ones. Can't wait for everyone's pictures!

The weather gods favoured this day with the best weather possible; the tour took place in an environment steeped in history, and ended in a bountiful, exotic culinary happening that was also reminiscent of a glorious past. After this there followed an interesting chat over some drinks in a nearby square.

| Thanks Marijke | Aug 6, 2007 |
A great day out (actually a weekend away for me!) and the first time I have actually enjoyed going to de Bijenkorf....
As I was first to leave the Eindhoven event in June, I was determined to be amongst the hard drinkers this time and sit it out to the end, putting the world to rights opposite the Hofvijfer.
Actually I was in bed before midnight, but it seemed very late!
Looking forward to the next meeting, whoever plans it will have a hard time beating the weather we had on S... See more A great day out (actually a weekend away for me!) and the first time I have actually enjoyed going to de Bijenkorf....

Yes, I have learned a lot, thanks to you. And most of all I learned how much I still have to learn. I should know more about Dutch literature, maybe learn swahili and try to distinguish more accurately between Art Noveau and Art Deco.
The food was yummy yummy.
Thank you Marijke and all of you!
| | | | | My first unforgettable Powwow | Aug 6, 2007 |
I am glad I attended this event. It was great getting to know all of you. All new faces but I never doubted the fact that friends can be acquired anywhere. I still couldn't believe we thought we had "lost" Henk in the shopping complex when we had actually left him behind long before that! It was great getting to know you and your husband, Marijke. Dank u for the memorable historical walk.

Thanks for the great day and for revealing to me that The Hague is more than just a dreary railroad station - with a certain retro charm nonetheless - and a few silly-looking trams. I really enjoyed it and I will try to talk less next time. Tot zo, André

Ah, my friends,
On this day we hardly scratched the surface of The Hague's offerings. The 'dreary' railway station is in the process of being transformed into an ultramodern TGV station. There is the spectacular Town Hall, Peace Palace, grand architecture of the Ministries, dazzling Scheveningen, Plein 1830 with its lively cafés, mueums, Omniversum, etc. etc.
By the way, I am a Rotterdammer.

Marijke, thank you very much for this great powwow. Kaliamma, don't worry, I did enjoy the fiddlers and, even more, the "IJssalon" at the Spuistraat. André, thanks for feeding good shots. Terrible you tell us we have to do without them next powwow. Ben thanks for sending a digital version of the Garuda invoice.

Den Haag kraakt in zijn voegen. Anti-fascism demonstration. Good start against desparate franco- & germanophil Gaius Tacitus / Jozef Ratzinger limpeza-de-sangre-Übermensch-versus-Untermensch talk like "Dutch is a German dialect" or about Vietnam or Iraq. No doubt about it! Dutch is a Germanic language, and we’ll promote democracy.

At the end you'll find some familiar faces (I hope Ellena's photo's put you better in the spotlight), ans as a summit of Hollandse Kneuterdijkerigheid the invoice fot tax purposes. Click on it with the right (opposite to left) mouse button and select "Afbeelding opslaan als" or something like "Save (picture) as".
