On April 10th 2008, I celebrated my 30 years-old birthday in the Netherlands. In the office, I invited some colleagues for delicious pies. It's a Dutch way to celebrate your birthday and it's fun! (According to the Taiwanese way, the birthday boy/girl would be treated by his/her family or friends, instead of treating them.) If my life is 60 years in total, I already reached the half way! I am delighted with my life, appreciating my family and all friends around. Hope I would feel blessed as well 30 years later while looking back again. *o^
On April 11th, I went to a harpsichord concert of the Goldberg Variations held in the castle Muiderslot with Jitse. The light of the sunset shed on the player and the harpsichord through the window. Sitting in the living room of the castle, I felt like a royal family who has its own musician to play at home. :P
On April 12th, I went back to Rotterdam! Nicole came to the Netherlands to visit me from Taiwan, so I showed her around for one weekend. It's so fun to visit the Blaak Market (which I went for food and flowers while studying in Rotterdam School of Management) as a tourist. We went into the Cubic house and walked a long way in Kinderdijk. (By the way, you might be surprised that most of the Dutch has never visited tourist spots such as Kinderdijk, Giethoorn, Keukenhof, and etc.)
