2. 提供最真實最不客觀的第一手荷蘭資訊

3. 待續

目前已有skai, warehouse, 藍水彎彎...等好格率先響應
請大家留言推薦其他荷蘭生活的blog (自己的blog也別客氣)
Blog聯播網站命名徵求中，請大家發揮創意，以符合本站宗旨的方向思考~~

即將推出的服務包括
1. 屎蓋老師實用荷文教室
2. 旅遊天地 (力抗橙子走天下)
3. 生活討論區
4. 定期活動: 第一泡-庫肯霍夫賞花...

還有其他好建議請提供…

請大家支持成立官方版同學會網站

原來的留學荷蘭網站已於日前一聲不響地更改網址 (還移除萊登大學的版面)，而且其立場似乎並不是從學生的角度出發(強烈懷疑其動機)，所以我計畫向學生會提議成立官方版荷蘭台灣學生會網站，初步的想法是加強橫向各校間的聯繫與縱向未來prospective及校友的溝通平台，畢竟總不能老是 战斗在荷兰吧！ 如果您認同我的想法的話，除了給予精神上支持之外也請踴躍提出您寶貴的意見，畢竟這對大家也都有好處滴

ps: 以上的發想跟我至今尚未拿到Resident Permit並無關聯...

瓜子、年糕與洗八啦

瓜子、年糕，這些想都不敢想的東西竟然都出現了！
吃飯配著俗俗賀新年音樂，彷彿又回到家鄉的年夜飯...
酒足飯飽後不忘來玩個幾把洗八啦試試來年的手氣
雖然只小贏€40cent，聽到骰子在碗公裏打轉清脆的聲音就很爽

現在的台灣應該已經是大年初一正在放鞭炮的時候了吧
我們雖然離家好遠好遠，不過還是能感受到快樂的氣氛的

祝大家狗年愉快

Email from EgyptAir

"Dear Brian,
I am contacting you on behalf of Horus, the inflight
magazine of EgyptAir. We are seeking small photos to
accompany the calendar section of the Mar/April edition.
I've already downloaded your photo...
I would like to confirm with you that this is okay...
If you'd like a copy of the magazine, please
send me an address I can mail it to you...

Carol"

繼上次的瑞士寵物用品公司要請我們代工貓樹之後，昨天又有一件好玩的事
就是EgyptAir的航空雜誌Horus(1)想要用這張Amsterdam某一Open Market
實在看不出來他們要如何用這張照片，覺得普普
只是又一次覺得網路無國界，地球真的變平了!!
最近看Businessweek已經不再是討論要不要Outsourcing
反而是要Outsourcing到哪裡最合適之類的問題
我看大家真的皮要繃給他緊啦

不過對我們這種喜歡冒險刺激的人
好像也是不錯的
嗯 IT好像都Outsourcing到印度去吧
老闆，可不可以派我到India去呢 我對Hinduism還略知一二
在歐洲也認識不少印度裔同學，也漸漸聽得懂印度腔了
可以避免不少Impact of culture difference的  呵呵

(1) Horus was the god of the sky in ancient Egypt, a symbol of divinity and protector of the king. All Pharoahs were considered to be incarnations of Horus.

Chinees Nieuwjaar komt

Last year I spent my Lunar New Year holiday in Xishuangbanna, China. But I never knew that I will have another New Year in Netherland next year at that time. Anyway, "Chinees Nieuwjaar komt"...
This video is Dai People's dancing. The Dai's girl is quite physically attractive, isn't she?

Cycle time of my MVV?

This morning Ron helped me check my resident permit(MVV) which I applied "3 months ago" with IND(immigration authority of Netherland) once again. Ron told me that IND said they had already sent my permit to Leiden city hall at the end of November. But that cannot be true because I just went to the city hall and my permit is still not there this morning! So who can answer me that where the damn permit is  right now?? Then Ron made another phone call to IND for reconfirmation.
This time they say it could be some omission within the third company malking the card and delivering it to each city hall. Oh my god!! Even though that's IND's fault I still have to pay another 40 Euros for my return visa. Because I really like to spend my holiday at Potugal anyway. That means I cannot come back to Netherlands without MVV. Free visa? No way! "It's POLICY, but you still can request refund  due to our fault, the officer said. What a Fxxxing hell policy!!(God, please forgive me) Do I naively believe that I can get refund? Well, that's what happened. I'm just another victim...

Anyway, the good news is the office had already started their "Business Process Redesign". But when will IND totally get rid of this stupid process? Who knows ?! Let's guess what the cycle time of my case will be...

No more class, Let's get drunk!
