Ko Samet Thailand

At this moment, we’re living in Thailand for three and a half months. During the week, we’re in Ban Amphur, in Lela’s lovely apartments by the beach. In the weekends, we try to see as much of Thailand as we can! A few pictures:

Above: Ko Samet, a lovely island on the East Coast where the Thai locals like to enjoy their weekends. Most tourists go to the West Coast.

Beautiful!

I was here 2 weeks ago:

Really nice congress at V2 with artists, city planners, techies and commercial people talking about Augmented Reality. Also Claire Boonstra of Layar was there. Too bad she didn’t mention our Spotted by Locals Layar application!

Thanks Carl and Kwela of PortalToYourDreams for organizing and inviting me!

Rotterdam, originally uploaded by bartvanpoll.

Visited Rotterdam last Sunday with my brother. Finally had the chance to see some great Spotted by Locals Spots!

Bammetje - Yummie breakfast

Bazar – Great lunch. Try the Borek / burek

De Witte Aap – Not so lively during the day, but cosy. Expensive beer!

Kiem Foei – Chinese, Antillean, Suriname snacks – we sampled all cultures – all good!

Mama – Nice art center, but this exhibition was not my cup of tea

Tent / Witte de With- Very cool exhibition on Moralism – HQ videos, nice staff!

And we also checked out the fancy place Dado, where Jules Deelder was supposed to be dj-ing. We were too early I guess.

“Enjoy the cosy inside with a cigarette…” The smoking ban isn’t really working in Holland.

Finally saw the Freitag shop where it all started. Very happy with my own Freitag-bag, but I’d like to have all of them!

We visited the Stadsarchief in Amsterdam (check out this article by Amsterdam local Patty) today. There was a very cool “New York Perspectives” exhibiton; Amsterdam viewed by 4 local New York photographers.
And what a very cool building this “Amsterdamse School” building is… Visited the basement with the vaults for the first time today. Check out this photoset for a few more pics.
