Amsterdam Central Station

This is the shot during my jog on Monday. It is only a few minutes away from the hotel. I heard that Tokyo station iwas designed based on this. I can see the similarity but I need to validate this statement.

Saturday Afternoon in NY/CT

This is how we spend the afternoon. Drive to Connecticut to have ice cream, but on the way we found a very nice furniture store. Front side was not big but inside was HUGE. Very nice collection of everything. After all, it was in CT and the all the customer seemed to have a DEEP pocket. These nice pillows were between $200 and 400. Maybe next time.
This soft serve is sold at a famous grocery store which started as a dairy farm. It is totally worth the drive.
Our home cooking continued, and we cooked breaded chicken and shrimp. Our refrigerator is filled with food and someone is happy about it.




Summer Dishes

Today's lunch was filled with summer dishes - cold Korean noodle, pickles, vegetable stew, and Kabocha stew. I don't miss any meat as they are all hearty.


KLM Souvenir

They handed out this cute house as a souvenir. I did not know what it is, so I looked up the web. It seems that this is the oldest souvenir any airline gave to their guest. They have at least 88 unique versions and some of them cost over $1,000 among the collectors. Now I have more reasons to wish to be upgraded.

Home Sweet Home

There is nothing better than home or home cooking. I just wanted to cook and eat something familiar. As I am working at AMS clock, my working hour is over...


Something Good Happened

After taking so many flights, I finally achieved PLATINUM status at an airline. Because of that maybe I was upgraded to the business class this time.
It is so nice to have food in China, not in plastic.
BUT, I am not sure it is worth thousands of $ though.
Look, this seat have massage function. I bed Japanese airlines have even more advanced function.
