Day 4- The Kingdom of the Netherlands- Den Haag

If you didn't know, although Amsterdam is the capital of Netherlands, the Queen does not reside in the capital. Rather, Den Haag is the residence of the Queen. Very much unlike the British where the Queen stays at the Buckingham palace in London and the President stays at the White House at Washington D.C. Hmmm. So off to Den Haag we went!

Set off a little late cuz we slept in. Heh. We went to this "theme park" in Den Haag called Maruodam. Its not really a theme park. Its actually a miniature city of the more important places in the Netherlands. I had memories of this place about 10 years ago. Beautiful place. the pcitures say it all. I didnt put up all the pictures i took. IT WOULD TAKE FOREVER!

Pretty plastic Flowers. My first attempt at perspective photography.

After a couple of hours at the miniature city, we headed off to the all famous (i think) scheveningen beach. It rained kinda hard right after we left the miniature city, so when we arrived at the beach, it was really really cold and because of the fact that we were right next to the sea, the wind was really cold and strong. We had fun though. Enjoyed the sights, getting very windswept as you can see.

Beautiful eh? This is made by God.

Anyway, i dont usually talk about my journeys to and from the various attractions cuz they are usually boring with nothing to talk about. BUT! this one back from Den Haag was terrible. We were sitting on the train next to this young dutch couple. Then this young punk was jabbering away non stop that it was so damn irritating. Like :"hgvkjhwvkehjvwkjvhb,sdvjvb,jbvjbvk"(okay. i cant speak dutch, but you get what i mean) of the entire trip which was about an hour long. I felt like slapping him or something. But then, he was about 2 times my size so i thought better not mess with him. Irritating ass. Spoil my image of the nice dutch people.
