End of Easter 2009 I had the pleasure to go to Amsterdam for a long weekend. The Heineken Brewery was one of the main tourist attractions. Even though the queue looked long it moved rather quick for me to make my way in. With different entertainment from having a photo taken with my face through a painted board to my own video clip ‘rowing in a boat’ with traditionally dressed dutch passengers. Another high-light was the Brew U ride where I experienced what it is like to be brewed and bottled!

Last but not least was a visit Heineken Brewery’s poster gallery. I am not the best photographer, but I tried to take the best photo possible of the thirteen retro design Heineken Posters.

If you have not been to the Heineken Brewery and you are in Amsterdam, make sure you make a turn there for a bit of fun!

When it comes to socialising, all my friends and sometimes other random people say I talk a lot. On the other hand, I have never seen myself as a writer. I suppose it has to do with my school days. I was not big on spelling. Maths and Accounting was more my thing (and then I have always liked to make nice pictures). So that probably steered me away from the thought of ever writing things for other people to read (the talking just comes naturally…). But then suddenly the internet boomed and after that the new thing is to say: I am a blogger.

I enjoy reading a good book, especially one with a bit of wit that can make me laugh (for example Tom Robins). Then I also start reading people’s blogs on the internet. A lot of them I enjoy sincerely. I am not particularly big on following trends, but seeing that it is rather popular to share thoughts with the world I have decided to give it shot.

It would be nice to hear people’s thoughts on things I wonder about. For example why have no one thought of making cat food in mouse flavour? Or why don’t sheep shrink when it rains? Or if a fly looses its wings do you call it a walk? To get to the point, I have decided to have my own blog. A bit will be about design and the rest about all kinds of bits and bobs.

At least now I can take a bit of pressure off my friends and you have a choice to read or not.

But first I need to finish building my blog! Working on it to have my first post soon!
