Weltmeisterschaft

It starts today. There are extra beer stalls on the streets and flags everywhere. The lady in the picture has captured my level of enthusiasm perfectly.

I'm kidding. I think I'll go see what the streets are like later today.

Even shoes are gay in Cologne

la di da

Eurovision night, Deutschland hat gewonnen, Un-fu**ing-glaublich!

Yuko watching her first Eurovision live on TV!!!!!!

The party on Mauritiuswall is over but nobody told this guy.

Leiden

This city is close to where some of the pilgrims sailed off to find new adventures and to kick off a genocide. And they flaunt it.

Leiden is also where I met mr. Rembrandt.

Karel and Minna doing some heavy lifting.

Leiden was a super nice city. Less tourists, great company and good beer (Belgian, not Dutch).

Amsterdam

When you go away from the immediate city center Amsterdam is so beautiful, but the tourist hot spots will make you want to cry. I was too bashful and freaked out to take pictures at the Red Lights district. Now I regret being such a Finn.
