Peek-chores


There are painted elephant statues all over town. Here's elephant asses for you guys. I freaking love elephants so I took pictures of them (the elephants, not just their asses).



The house boats that line most of the canals remind me of trailer parks :D



Many of the houses are falling over or apart. This is an extreme case where they fastened these boards on it to keep it all together.



A bit crooked.



"The Invalid" - This is a bike-class vehicle. No license required. I want one.



That man behind this one is my uncle. He's pretty alright.



Raw herring. Dutch tradition. Bought it off a street vendor. Pretty standard. Saw the locals eating it without bread with a toothpick for a fork. I'm not that brave. It tasted...just how you would expect it to.



That green thing behind this AWESOME looking guy is a public pissing spot. It's just a hidden spot with a drain for urinating. Not really good for women. But I have to pay to piss in public restrooms. I scream discrimination. No one cares.



Bike parking at Centraal Station.


That's it for now. I take pictures of a lot of things but this is what I choose to share. There will be an exhilarating slide show at my place when I return for the full review (with a quiz to follow so come prepared to take notes).

  1. When I was in Budapest they had elephants everywehere aswell...? They had a weird program called adopt an elephant with the description in Hungarian...never really understood. Maybe that is what you need to do Eva: adopt an elephant or it's ass...up to you.

  2. I think what's goin on here is an auction or a raffle to win one of the elephants, and all the proceeds go to support an elephant (olefant) sanctuary in Thailand.

    I think.

    I totally don't speak dutch. Though when museum guards scold me I always seem to get it.
