Last night a few friends and I got patats (or friets or whatever they are called) and walked around a little bit. At one point we found ourselves in the Red Light district. It felt very seven-deadly-sins-y to be "window shopping" while stuffing my face with fried goodness.
Saturday I went around town and took some pictures. Many of you have been asking for them, so it was high time I actually acted like a tourist and broke out the camera. If you would like to see them, go to my Picasa Page and check em out! After that, a friend and I found the I Amsterdam sign and tried to take pictures of it. That was obviously not an original idea, because everybody was doing the same thing. Our ingenious solution was to take the pictures at the back side of the sing and flip them later. I have yet to upload those, so I am not sure if it actually worked.
Today I went to see the Netherlands Philharmonic perform Mahler 6 at the Concertgebouw. That was way beyond epic. I realized that I had never heard a live performance of ANY Mahler work before, so this was quite an introduction. Such a great piece, such a great orchestra, and such a great hall. All of this excluding the off-stage mobile phone solo. I thought the conductor was going to throw his baton at that lady! It was 1 chord from the end of the piece too, so the conductor just stormed offstage after they were done. I have never seen a conductor so mad! The lady with the phone made a very swift exit, you can be sure of that haha!
