But when home again I enjoy some Gouda cheese with my friends. One old cheese with cummin seeds and a mild younger cheese. Yummy!
That's it for now, mum!

Agnetapark is an area of workers' housing for the workers of the Yeast Factory. It was built in the late 19th century by order of Jacques van Marken. He and his wife Agneta were remarkable people who treated the workers and their families with respect.

This part was built later, in the 1920's. I like the bright yellow windows.

Today is an important day for Dutch people. It's Remembrance Day, to remember the victims of World War II.
This small statue is to honor the people of the resistance.

Later we watch the Remembrance ceremony at the Dam Square in Amsterdam at t.v. A lot of people turned up.
King Willem Alexander and Queen Maxima look ernest.
Some people place a wreath at the foot of the national War Monument.
It was impressive.

It's another important day in the Netherlands: Liberty Day. Dutch people celebrate the ending of World War II and freedom in general. It's not an official holiday, but Emjay has a day off. Some people hang out a flag.

I bet you think this is a nice, soft bale of hay. But it's made of concrete!

This is Emjay's old street: Pelikaansingel (= Pelican Alley).
Scoop thinks it's named after him! 
That's it for now, mum!

City center, Delft, Netherlands - 7th May 2014
By: Emjay
Hi mum!
I've been here for more than a week now and I haven't even been to the city center of Delft. But today is the day! We went to Emjay's workplace first.
We sit in her chair and have a cup of coffee, just hanging around to kill time.

Yes, work is done! This is near Emjay's work: the only canal in Delft where houseboats are allowed.
