Day 6, Saturday Sep 3

Today I went to the Dappermarkt, and I finally got some decent food. No more pasta, eating like a king! The produce was all very cheap and it seems more fresh than in the US (maybe only because I am comparing it to what I have been eating all week, which was pasta...).

Later, I went to the Muzikgbouw to see the Keller Quartet perform Bartok's 4th and 6th quartet. Really great stuff, and such a beautiful venue! The building is so new, you can still smell fresh cut wood when you enter the hall! It was also very encouraging to see (what I thought to be) a very diverse group of concertgoers, not like back in the states when everyone is either a student, teacher, or rich person going to be seen going. As far as I could tell, these we just a bunch of "normal" Dutch people going to enjoy some great music; life how it should be!
