Argh... busy.
I have lots to write about... including a creative and fun week painting, dancing and acting -- followed by a weekend in Amsterdam!
I'm just going to show a few photos first, and try to write about the experiences later.
Of course, if I suck (like I did with Serbia), I will never actually write about them... but maybe someone can remind me to do it?
First and foremost... I was a mouse.
Yes, I was in a middle-of-the-year Cinderella pantomime. Don't ask me why.
I was also a tree, a ballrom dancer and a Cinderella lookalike... Unfortunately no photographic evidence remains...
Secondly, I hung out with cute girls:
Thirdly, I took a few actual, artistic photos (amazing, I know!)
Then I hung out with another cute blonde, and prepared for Amsterdam (all of the pre-Amsterdam photos are here).
Amsterdam was cool. Incredibly laid back and sensible. Of course, I didn't actually get to lay back much (well, except for the brief stint in the red light district), as we walked across most of the city. Then we boated through most of it, and on the final day I had my first ever backy-ride on a bicyle. The kind with peddles and a chain. I still can't walk (3 days later). It feels like I've had a marathon sex session, but without the sex (well, apart from that one time on Saturday where my memory is a little hazy...)
Again, no photographic evidence of two boys in pink shirts cycling across Amsterdam... but I'm sure that one day someone will provide video footage of the experience -- perhaps when I'm richer and famouser.
Talking of video footage, there should be a clip of me deep-throating a raw herring. Yes... I did what every Dutchman loves -- consumed one of their 'national delicacies', which it blatently isn't, while they giggled and watched with glee on their faces. 'Just like sushi' my host Rogier said. Hah. But hey, I was a good sport and ate it, for the first and last time.
Anyway, a couple of photos!
Some Other Part Of Amsterdam
I'm not too sure why the last one came out so grey - the day was still pretty bright at the time... but hey, it looks pretty dark and forboding, or something. You can't see it, but it's actually like 6 or 7 bridges that you can see through the first one, to the horizon. Some other photos are here: http://photos.mrseb.co.uk/?moverse=digit
I think that's about all for now. I'm in London tomorrow, and busy planning my next trip... I just need to choose if I'm going to go hot (Egypt) or cold (Iceland/Norway). Oh! And my mum made friends with a guy that owns a holiday camp in Jordan (Petra!), so that's another cool possibility. Can get over to Iraq/Iran from there, too.
Sorry about the huge one, without cuts.
Love,
