The Museum Harbour of the Harbour Museum

In short, the day started with work as usual, then straight to the bird centre for a meeting, picked up a (very) late dinner at the wok place, and back home to enjoy a good documentary of Indonesian everyday life. Somewhere in between I took this shot of the museum harbour of Rotterdam. Left is the 19th entury ram ship 'De Buffel'.

The documentary was good, and makes you realizes everything is relative, even the deep Euro crisis. One scene made me laugh out loud, when the wife baked the prize winning fighting fishes (never knew those existed) of her husband, after he had used all her sacred water for the fishes' bowls.

I was reminded of my promise to give you a review of Drive, which we went to see last Saturday. To say it plain and simply: it was brilliant. And not brilliant in a well-that-was-pretty-good kind of way, but really, really brilliant. Do not expect a Hollywood-ish action movie. Do not (no matter what others say) expect a Tarantino movie. Do not expect a slow arthouse movie. Instead, expect a pefect blend of those, in a totally unique movie. Sure, it involves car chases and explicit violence, but it is wrapped in a beautifully slow and deep cover.
