A bunch of bricks, some cement and a roof

Well, as I predicted here 2007 was going to be the year that I would dive myself into the world of debt.

Why would I do such a thing, I hear you ask.

Well...................for the first time in my life I can call myself a homeowner.

Yes, Niek, the most immature person on the face of the planet bought himself a house. A real house. With a garden and everything. YES!!!!

I will put some pictures up, but suffice to say, I'm quite pleased. And scared. But mostly pleased.
Some important stats:
20 KMs from work
5 KMs from the beach (see the priorities)
In the centre of Haarlem, one of the nicest cities in the Netherlands

The house is from the 19th century, completely renovated. And it has (shock horror) a walk-in closet, a bit too nice of a bathroom and a lovely kitchen. But enough about the girly bits. It also has a fully integrated speakerwire system in the walls for my stereo system. Nice..... :-)

Can't wait to move in.

Oh, and before I forget.... Merry Christmas!

Pictures from the fall

Parties, exhibitions, cities and just various other stuff

Well, I have a new laptop now and I'm clearing out and checking out the pics I've taken the last few months.

Some I want to share.


Did a 10km walk thorugh Paris some weeks back. Unbelievably touristy I know, but hey. You're there, you gotta take a pic of the Eiffell tower.


Milan Motorcycle Show. Work sucks.



See above comment.


Me driving taking a pic on my mate Erik driving the Peugeot 309 GTi-16you can see in the mirror. About an hour before his engine blew up while he was racing me.


My good mate Chris who I visited in Goettingen with the lovely Aleksandra.

Better pics to follow. Going to be in Munich for NYE. Should be good.
