Just Another Day...

Just as a follow up to my previous post, I actually had a last minute change of plans that day. I ended up spending the evening with someone more dear to me so it turned out to be pretty nice. We ended up in a Japanese restaurant for sushi and I think two 'appetizer' platters and 2 deserts cost us... I mean, him... like 60 something Euros. And it was the cheaper of the two Japanese restaurants in Scheveningen. The quality of the food was really good, but I'm not sure that it would have filled me up if I hadn't snacked right before hand. There's no way a grown man could be satisfied with that portion. I miss the sushi places back home. Not that they are all that great, but it is good enough, and you get so much more for you money. Plus, we have those special rolls, like the Boston roll, Philadelphia roll, etc. My all time favorite place to eat Sushi back home is Nagoya, and I love their New York roll. It's like a deep fried shrimp/tuna roll with more tuna, plus eel on top. Mmmmmm....

Well, today is Saturday and I feel like this is the first chance I am getting to kind of relax in a while. It has been a busy couple of weeks. Whether it's bowling, gym, cooking, dinner out, movie, or whatever, there's always something going on. Also, once a week, we usually end up in a club all night and that means the following day is kind of shot for the most part. My friend's favorite place to go is the Paap. It's a small club in the center with cheap drinks and Eurobeat type music. Last night though, we went to a 'Disco Party' hosted by the International Agency Events. I think I only saw one person decked out in the afro, sunglasses, and bell bottoms though. The party was held in Asta, another club in the center. It has like 3 levels and several rooms. I think 2 of the rooms had dancing, couple had standing areas, and another a lounge. It was a pretty big club... former movie theatre I was told. I'm not sure that it was all that Discoish, but nonetheless, the music was not bad and the crowd was good. Tons of people from work showed up, and one guy who was in town just for the Exercise commented that there are much more prettier girls here than in clubs back in U.S. I can't comment on the validity of his comment, but it's just a fyi for all you men out there who might care.

Last weekend I also went to Mauritshuis. It's THE museum of the Hague, and it houses several Vermeers and the Rembrandts. I haven't actually seen the movie, but Vermeer's Girl with a pearl earring is also here. This weekend, I plan to do NOTHING! Well, actually, I borrowed CSI DVDs from someone so it will be a CSI marathon most of the weekend I think. Oh, I did go to the gym today. It's usually hard to go on weekends tho because they are only open 9-2. By the time you get up after being out the night before and awake enough to remember you have to go to the gym, you may or may not make it there in time for an hour's work out. Plus, on a rare nice day out, you really want to enjoy a few hours of sunshine before the sun begins to set at 4....

Well, let the marathon begin....
