I AMsterdam

Sep 24 2009 Published by Moos under traveling

How can I describe this trip?? hmmm… AMAZING!!!

Let me tell you some of the highlights…

The city is beautiful!! I loved the weather! OMG! Why do I seem so excited while I’m writing!! anyway, the weather was beautiful… not that it’s not Kuwait, but here’s this, on the 3rd day it was sunny, cold and gently raining! how beautiful is that? tell me people!!

I walked a lot there, and though I came back 8 days ago, my right leg still hurts… on the 4th day there I couldn’t walk… period… but I did anyways : – D

Me and Miq went to the Van Gogh museum and the Rijksmuseum (where the original Rembrandt paintings are) … it was an overdose of creativity! Art was slapping me in the face! I didn’t appreciate painting as I do now, it just made me feel like a nobody, which I am!, but it was just overwhelming… to be face to face with history… or should I say face to canvas, yeah that’s better… to be face to canvas with such rich history… Ahhh, it just blew my mind! We visited each museum on a different day… cuz the first was enough for a day… seriously! there was no more mental capacity even to just observe such a … I don’t know how to describe it! the details, the brush strokes… it makes me feel ignorant and don’t understand anything… it was beautiful…

Everyone there had a bike, big and small, tall and short, and thin and fa… well, there weren’t many “overweight” people there… if you see any then they’re probably tourists coming to visit this lovely place…

I took exactly 510 photos and ended up uploading 130 on facebook, the place was just beautiful and everywhere you aim your camera you end up with a beautiful shot… they have different colors there! I think it’s due to the way the sun rays fall on the city… unlike here, where it gits you on the head! but I love my country, don’t I? ; – )

We went on this tourist trip to the country side… that was the highlight of the trip for me… I just went crazy over the boat, and that’s not just because my hair was flying with me, no I don’t think I’ve ever felt closer to nature than that… it was jubilation!

I wanna go back there again someday, now that I know where every “da3oos” in Amsterdam is!

maybe you should come with me? yes, you! youuuuuuuu!

ok maybe not… we’ll discuss that laTer

Speaking of bathrooms! I think that public toilets’ doors should open to the out instead of to the inside, you don’t wanna be stuck between the door and the toilet when getting in and out of it, right? isn’t it just annoying that I already spend some time cleaning the top of the toilet before sitting? and washing my hands a thousand times when done? do I have to get my trousers to touch the toilet? No! they should open to the outside! I mean there’s enough space to open it to the outside. This goes to almost all the malls in Kuwait, there’s not enough space between the toilet and the door… if there was, I wouldn’t mind opening the door to the inside!

Do you have favorite public bathrooms? I like the ones in Starbucks Mishref, Caribou Coffee in free trade zone, some of the ones bel avenues… can’t remember any others at the moment… and there are places where I don’t dare go to the toilets there… like Marina Mall or Souq Sharq…. I mean seriously??

Anyway …

Life in the basement has been really great! except one thing. When I need to go to bathroom I have to go upstairs, and for showers too…

I finished reading “عزازيل” a few days ago… one of the greatest books I ever read in my life… well, of course I read in my life. Who’s life is it?? ME! It’s not your life, I can’t read a book in your life… actually I can, if it was read after you were born and before you die, right? cuz that’s your life… so if your life is shorter there’ll be a great book that I read in your life but another great book that I read in my life and they can be 2 different books, unless you are me of course, but that’s just impossible… unless it’s an M. Night Shyamalan movie, because only then I can be you and reading different books that are both great in my life and yours!

This is “Angels From Montgomery” … sweet song…
