Sightseeing Holland
Wednesday, 10 May 2006 | Journal
For my current project, I travel the country extensively. Tonight I’m in Groningen, where I will spend the night before attending a 9am meeting. And as I’m sitting here, soaking up the evening vibe and enjoying some sushi1, I’m thinking how appropriate it is that this is the last project I do before I leave the Netherlands.
I get to see all sides of my country and spend time in places I never would have visited otherwise. Sometimes my preconception about certain things, places or locations are confirmed. And sometimes, like in the case of Groningen, I’m pleasantly surprised to discover what a great city this really is. Because I travel by train, I meet interesting people or sometimes just doze off in the sun. And sometimes people annoy the hell out of me with their typically dutch behavior.
But everything considered, and hoping the weather stays this way, I think this is the perfect last project. Oh and I do love the actual work too, which makes it even better.
- I visited Fuji-tei on the Poelestraat. The sushi is ok, but nothing special and certainly not worth what they are charging. The seaweed salad is a normal shredded veggies salad with a little bit of seaweed on top, what a hoax! However, the staff is Korean and I get the feeling they do put more effort into the Korean dishes being served here. They look good! And the food too! So I suggest you give that a try if you ever visit the place. ↩
