His New Outlook In Life

A surprise message was left on my facebook last week. I met him five years ago when I was in my country. He is a good, hardworking and smart guy. He searched me on the net and found my blogs and facebook account. I was so happy to hear that he is enjoying his new job being an account manager in one of the call centers in his place. He has now a new outlook in life...enjoy life to the fullest. He used to work more than eight hours a day to gain knowledge about the things he wanted to learn. Those days were over. He has now a good paid job. He is saving money to visit places. His plans are to see Europe and the rest of the world. I cannot wait to see him at Schiphol Airport someday. He can stay with us in my humble place or stay in one of the Amsterdam Youth hostels which is just few minutes drive from our house. Many tourist attractions are close to this hostel like boutiques, restaurants, shops, theaters and more. If he will stay in Amsterdam then he can enjoy the midnight life.
Thousands of tourists come to visit Amsterdam every year. If you plan to travel in Amsterdam then you made the right choice. Amsterdam has many things to offer.

The oldest architectures like buildings, museums, dams, windmills, stores, churches etc. are very intriguing and captivating. Discover the secret of the dam square.

The Orange team, we call it in Dutch beats Denmark 2-0. In the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg was it 2-0. Simon Poulsen scored just after the break in his own goal, Kuyt made it six minutes before the final whistle with 2-0.

The first goal finally came immediately after the start of the second half. In the 46th minute it was 1-0 for Holland by an own goal from the Dane Simon Poulsen who attempted a rescue of Van Persie heads away. It was the first own goal of this World Cup.

About this Blog

I make this blog for foreigners who will live in this country, THE NETHERLANDS. Foreigners who are engaged or married they have to learn a lot of things about their new home like the culture, architectures, landscape, government, dikes etc. Especially the Dutch language which is very important in their social life. It is very difficult if they cannot communicate with other people. Most people speak Dutch, only few speaks English.
For visitors and readers, this will give you an idea what this country is. This small country ranks no. 5 in the economic stability in EUROPE. Their architectures like palaces, castles, dikes, ports (air and sea) are amazing.
Their culture is very interesting.
