No more LJ-updates!
I've started posting from my blog, Interrailing.net, a while back, as could be noticed from the cross-post header my recent posts came along with. As I will not only use my blog for personal posts, but also for posts on coffee houses and tips on Berlin, I will no longer post my 'blogs' to my Livejournal ( Read more... ) -
La Ruche (Bijenkorf), Utrecht
Considering its location inside the country’s most exclusive department store, this shop is pretentious. With a genuinely friendly smile, the waiter lived up to these expectations, but from there it’s downhill. The ‘La Ruche’-delivery service delivers the cappuccino, made by the super-automatic machine, to the table with the number corresponding to ( Read more... ) -
Coffee United, Amersfoort
Located right on the train station, which means it’s very suitable for a quick cup of coffee during a changeover, while being completely different from all other Servex-run branches on Dutch train stations. It’s good, near-solid milk foam with an attempt to latte art. The syrup-cappuccino regrettably had too much syrup in it, but the regular ( Read more... ) -
Independent or Hollywood
Those who know me, might be aware of the fact I’m a film enthusiast. I am not, however, a connoisseur.

Why I consider myself an enthusiast is this: I’d rather buy a movie, so that I can watch it anytime I like, than rent it. Furthermore I ( Read more... ) -
Coffee
In my future posts tagged ‘coffee’ I will write opinions on the espressos and cappuccinos I enjoy at various coffee houses. Visiting some two coffee houses every week, I noticed that I soon failed to distinguish which coffee houses were among the best and which were not quite there. To finally put an end to repetitive mishaps, I decided to write ( Read more... ) -
My new housemates
A while ago, I had to leave what had been my home for over five years more or less overnight. Left with no choice, I decided to accept the offer of both my parents and my girlfriend, to stay at their place. Neither was enjoyable, though. Whereas my parents have a house with a sufficient amount of space for me, it’s a 1.5 hour ride to university. My ( Read more... ) -
Genuine winter
For a few weeks now, Europe has been covered in snow, both disrupting the life of many and bringing joy to as many others. For me, the snow has for the most part brought joy. The world just seems to be a more peaceful place when it’s covered in a layer of white. There have, however, been a few times where my plans had to be changed due to the ( Read more... ) -
The vacation ritual
In the years past, it has become a ritual time after time again. The night before we leave for a trip abroad, we sleep in late to get things cleaned up, and get up early to catch one of the first trains of the day, thereby ensuring an early arrival at our destination.
Yesterday should’ve been an exception to that. The house already was reasonably ( Read more... )
