It's beer o'clock! In...
Amsterdam, Netherlands

Sarah, whom I had only recently met up with in New York, is in Amsterdam for the week, and under the motto "It's beer o'clock!" we met up again tonight. And with a motto like that, what better place to meet up than Heineken Square?
As I got there at 7:30, Sarah had already found a table on the square in front of the O'Donnell's Irish pub. She waved and smiled, and as I walked towards her after parking my bike, a sudden deja-vu came over me. There she was. With a copy of The Onion newspaper... and a rose. This happened as well one month ago in Grand Central Terminal in New York, and it seems this might be turning into a tradition. A very scary tradition. Still, I certainly appreciated The Onion!
It was a great evening. We had indeed some beers, and some fish and chips and some other booze, and we talked a lot about work and about private life - not a subject was left untouched! Except the roses. We won't mention them again. Hehe.
