Quicky

Not a whole lot has happened (though i have some nice pictures of a day out at the lake if i make the time to upload them). sandra has passed her test for foot massage/reflexology. 98/100 so an A++ i think the teacher was even a bit dissapointed that the test was over... She had no shortage of people who she could practise on. Unfortunately it goes a little less smooth with the basics of Thai massage. You need room for that (and a big and firm mattrass of sorts) so there are quite a few things that she and KK can only practise on Frans & me since we're small enough... It is getting better.....

Next week the rent is up so we plan to move south for a week. Either to one of the islands or a beach on the mainland somewhere. Kyaw Kyaw really would like to see Phuket. Sandra thinks she could do with giving the place a miss.... Me, i haven't made up my mind yet. After that, off to Burma. Waterfestival/new year from the 13th to the 17th of april. We're going to be so wet again. I am considering investing in a super soaker.

The student/workvisa plans are still being worked on. A lot of info but nothing too concrete yet.

First stop in the Netherlands

OK, Katinka, how's this ;-)

True i still have so much updating to do but slowly, very slowly i'm getting to it.

Visiting Katinka, Bart & kids was the first stop Sandra, Frans & me made when we came from France. Of course it was great seeing katinka & Bart again but it was even better to see how much Luuk & Bas had grown over the past years. And Marieke & I hadn't met yet. She's already quite grown up. No little baby anymore....


Bas was showing us how one should milk a cow.


Luuk was emerging from some sort of ball-house thingy that is in the palace park for kids to play with. We had a great walk around the gardens.
