A little party...

Yes, there is a lot of gifs on here lately. Maybe I'll switch completely. And why shouldn't I? They are awesome.
Anyway. This one is for my dear friends M. and Mr. G. They are doing another awesome party, which I won't be able to attend. Sadly. I hope they come visit me soon, I now have upgraded to a room with a sofa/guestbed.

More Improv

Yes, it seems like weeks ago, but I thought i'd still share this foto. Along with a quote I heard during the 'Drunk Ho-Chi-Ha':

"If a ho is said in the forest, is it heard?" -  "Or whatever is said in the forest, stays in the forest?"

Today

Today really couldn't get any better. Except if Annika were throwing a garden party after a thunderstorm. On one of my last days in this beautiful city. I raise a glass to all of my friends.

PS: Why is today so awesome? I got published.

More

Oh, I totally forgot to upload this. Not sure if Thomas is showing us the finger. Probably not. Maybe?

He taught us well, as can be seen in this performance of Consenting Adults. 

THE Party, Part II

WHY was this taking so long? Look after the jump for amazingly underlit/overlit pictures and moving pictures.

Let's get this started.

Living Germans

*** Don't try this at home ***

So, kids, don't play drinking games. If you can't avoid it, try not to get the King's Cup. Suit up. Dance like there is no tomorrow. Or like it is already tomorrow. Check regularly on your passed out friends whether they are still breathing. Don't be tempted by other friends to try the Tequila. It's always awesome to wake up without a hangover. Not, however, if you notice after 5 minutes that you are still drunk. Under no circumstances, go on the roof. There are living Germans there!

Queen's Day

I loved the idea of renaming the Nassauplein, which is right next to the Nassaulaan, into Koning van Oranje Nassauplein. All the other pictures of the day are either blurry or you guys don't look your best. No idea why that could be.

Concerning A.'s comment below: It is surprisingly difficult to fire up an 'instant' barbecue, even if you have three guys present. May that be a lessen for all of you: as soon as you get a new place, buy a cheap and small, but proper barbecue. Also, befriend handy people.

Queen's Night

We celebrated the last Queen's Night. There were some promises made on another blog, where they also explain what the huge fuss is all about:

Obviously, as a nation, the Dutch do know how to party. I am not sure it actually was the best party, because I am more into smaller stuff and there is more to come this year, so it would be really hard to make that judgment now. There were less people than last year, which I did not mind much. I am not a huge sucker for being trampled by crowds. However, we did not go to Amsterdam (who in their right mid would?), so who are we to judge. Also, we did not leave the house much on actual Queen's Day. Thanks to our Dutch friends we managed to watch the King's song live on national TV. What a heart-warming moment. Thank you for sharing the highlights of your culture.



Ok, have fun with the pictures. The first is a shot of beer, the ultimate orange drink for this night.

Understanding

I can't understand my friends complaining about headaches on Saturday mornings. First of all we did not drink too much. (No, mum, we didn't!) Secondly, WHY in the world would you get up that early if you have a hangover? On a Saturday.

Thirdly, there is such a thing as aspirin. But try it with a large glass of water first, it is usually just dehydration. Which is why I love this menu, kindly provided by a finnish friend. The swedes understand people and are kind enough not to charge anything for it. Now I am looking forward to my holidays there even more.

Party animals

New stuff for all the party animals out there! Arg, I just had to share this, found the pictures to be hilarious. Well, well, for those with money to spend on ridiculous things you can find them on sale at Fab. For the rest of us this could be a great DIY. How about an orange fox tail for Queensday (Kingsday?!).

Will you...
