As I wrote before, I did bid on a nokia 7650 and won on ebay. The transaction was very quick and good, went to Amsterdam this afternoon to get the phone and played with it right away. As you can see I’ve made a moglog part on this site where you can see pictures made by this phone almost every day. You can also find more mobile pics that we (R. and I) made on www.moblog.nl (user: Yolanda, thats me), this site is in dutch. Also bought a new webcam today, a creative pc-cam 300.

Today I planned a shopping trip to Amsterdam to one of my favorite clothes stores called Mateloos. While we were driving to this shop we were passed by 2 fireengines with sirens. In the air we saw the police helicopter flying around. We made a joke about that the store might be on fire…. When we parked our car, we saw the smoke getting out of a apartment. This apartment was as good as above the shop we were going to…. After the fire was out, the firemen started throwing out burned furniture on the street. See the pictures. The cat of the people who lived in this apartment died because of the smoke… they carried the cat outside in a plastic bag :( After 40 minutes we were able to get into the store.

This weekend some (Americans living in London:) online friends of mine are visiting Amsterdam. So we gave them a small tour and did some shopping at the Waterlooplein market. Waterlooplein is a lot of fun, the market mainly exists out of clothes/shoes/jewelry stands. I even found a nice 2nd hand winter coat :)
They have been lucky because the weather has been very nice this weekend (no rain!!).

The concert of the Counting Crows was last night. Before we went to the Heineken Music Hall we went into Amsterdam for a nice dinner at Mr. Coco’s in the centre of Amsterdam, to celebrate my boyfriends birthday (he is 30 also now :)). After that we drove to the Amsterdam Arena to park our car there and there is also Heineken Music Hall where the concert took place. The concert was really great. Arid did the support act, that is a belgian *rock* band, not really my kinda music but it could have been worse. Counting Crows played for almost 2 hours!!!! they did a lot of songs of they new album Hard Candy but they also played some old songs. Heineken Music Hall was packed, as the concert was sold out in 5 minutes after the ticket sale started :) It was warm/hot/sweaty but again it was a goood concert so it was worth it :).
