Well, I moved house two weeks ago and I'm currently looking for a job for next year. I'll be back in England between 5-11 August, though.

I'm currently in the novel setion of the library and wondering if the Da Vinci Code (or 'Het Bernini Mysterie', as it is weirdly titled in Dutch) is badly enough written for me to be able to read it in Dutch...

Podcast #8

The last podcast for this academic year as I shall not have internet for the next two months. It'll be the last podcast but I'll still come on here to put things into writing as I'm staying here over the summer.
It's all over at: http://haagcore.tumblr.com

Haagcore 6 & 7

Haagcore 6&7 are now up at tumblr.com/haagcore. Hope you enjoy them. In my next podcast (#8)I shall be giving you a roundup of the academic year and a fond look back over the last 10 months. It will also be slightly more focused than the last couple, hopefully covering exclusively Dutch topics such as: Dutch politics, Finding somewhere to live in Den Haag, Dutch bureaucracy, Dutch smoking legislation and much, much more.

See you later,

Jumping ship

Hey, I've finally found a solution of where to host my podcasts. They can now be found at http://haagcore.tumblr.com/
I'll use this site for the podcasts and I think I'll keep this as the main blog.

There'll be two new blogs coming soon. Apologies for the lack of posting I have been very busy and there have been a few technical problems.

Hope all is cool.

In Limbo

While I'm busy recording the new podcast and sorting out some stuff here are some pictures I took with my new camera (hence the over exposure):

My Manly Bike, Bikelangelo and its Manly stickers:





And, in case any of you didn't believe quite how close the church is to my house, here's a view through my window:

Podcast #5 - Nieuwe Fiets

Here's a brand new podcast coming at you. I'm slipping behind slightly from my planned 1 a month schedule and this does go quite a bit off-topic, but, hey! Who cares. I shall post some pictures of my bike up soon as it is very pretty. Enjoy:

I'm thinking of uploading everything to youtube - if anyone can suggest an easy to use film program in which I can attach the audio to some static picture showing the title of the episode, please let me know.

Enjoy,

Podcast Stop-gap

New podcast will be coming soon. In the meantime, enjoy this heartfelt lament from Mick Jagger about the Dutch bank ING in this time of financial crisis:

"ING, ING, when will all those clouds just disappear."
