day 3. meeting. amsterdam.

woke up and met frist and Arben.. they were really nice to drive my dad and i down to Linden for another meeting.., Again. we have some discussion with this company whom we haven't worked with yet. prolly gonna further some plans in future with them too. it was once again good to see how communications takes place and deals are made. once more i'm impressed with how the dutch managed their business, it seems so organised.

we were on our way to amsterdam... then hailstorm! lol.. little ice cubes jus start falling from the sky.

went on to Amsterdam to tour around the place, finally felt like a tourist after two and the half working days. had a short tour around the area.. went to visit the famous sex museum! lol. its a 'WOW' and must see! hee. walked around seeing those majestic monuments around the place and finally chinatown and the red light district. and also the 'coffeeshop' that sells weed... its a must see too! seeing the amount of bicycles, even a multi storey parking for bicycles i think after China, its here with world's mostly desly populated bikes. wanted to pick up some soveniers for my buddies and friends back home but Arben and Frist was around, i didn't dare to buy much cus they will surely foot the bill! so jus got a nice orange cardigan and a momento shirt., of course they pay.! Arben was nice to give me his original Ajax Amsterdam towel. yeah, the dutch are really into soccer. Ajax, PSV etc. Arben is flying over to england this weekend for the Chelsea Arsenal match.. i should have plan to stay longer and fly over too. Holland's a really nice place, i'll be back again.

after driving abt 2 hrs back to our hotel, we met frist at night for dinner and we had korean food. finally eating rice and not potatoes. and of course, drink again. we had a stroll back to the hotel. it was f**king cold! rain and stop rain and stop. even at amsterdam it was kind of freezing due to the breeze.. at night its worst. but not as bad as last nite when we were at giovanni's restaurant, when we were at the outskirts. the chilling breeze slowly breath through our face, the sounds of century old church bells walking us with our hands in the jacket, shivering through the square surrounded by pure dutch style houses, it was nice. really nice. but 'cold sia..' and too bad, no girl beside me.. haiz!

time to sleep. tomorrow meeting again.
