The Hague

Banyak juga tempat menarik di The Hague ni. Our Airbnb is not as modern as the one in Amsterdam but equally convenient. Walking distance to the city centre. Z dah duduk kat hotel company dia bayar - depan rumah PM and Dutch parliament kata dia. We are not far from her but here we do our own thing. We were at Leiden on Monday - David and Eliza ajak dinner. I wanted to collect my library card but lupa nak bawak passport so had to go again today with Mariani (born and bred here, doing law.Parents from Kelantan but had been here 30 years, kerja Embassy).Baik Mariani ni..dia la jadi my Research Assistant - tolong translate-kan Dutch sources but today at the National Archives, both of us pening baca tulisan tangan Governor waktu terjadi Perang Paderi tu.Dia selalu start nota dia dgn bismillahirrahmanirrohim. Kotnya masuk Islam?

I finally got my library card at Leiden uni.Alhamdulillah.  Leiden is such a beautiful uni town. Rasa macam kat Oxford sikit.But bdk2 muda sini pengotor..buang sampah merata kat station keretapi tu.Berbeza benar from other cities here where kita rasa org Dutch ni mcm robots.Semua terletak dan bersih. Nak cari toilet and tong sampah pun susah like dia org ni tak pergi toilet ke? :)

But Leiden kat kawasan rumah David tu best..besar dan gardens mrk cantik2. Bagus kalau nak retire kat tempat2 mcm ni.Quiet, green, spacious, nyaman.
