Du, da, du, da, du, Picture time!

Du, da, du, da, du, Picture time! 

I didn't had plans this weekend, but I went out today either way. Slightly worried as usual about my money, but I went! I headed of to Enschede, Enschede is like a little Amsterdam, but then smaller and much closer to home. It took me thirty minutes with the train. I haven't been to Enschede for such a long time, the last time was actually with Saf and Abd when they visited me in Holland. That was in October 2010, that's almost two years. I really enjoyed my afternoon in Enschede, I nearly spoke it out loud there. Ofcource I took a few pictures.....

Welcome to the City of Enschede! 

There's many art in this City, statues, paintings, awkward objects and street art.

I saw many of such bikes recently, everywhere in Holland actually. I always wondered how it is to ride such bicycles. Kids in front and Mom or Dad on the saddle. 

I went to this shopping centre where I use to go, but this centre was almost empty. No people who were shopping and not many stores. Then I saw this cheese area, it was huge. 

Look at all these cheeses.... 

In the same centre there was a expo aswell, here you see self made furniture made from bamboo. 

 A self made Otto-man, made from leather. I like the colors.

Cow art, I thought it was not done to take a picture of this bizarre piece of art, but I did it anyway, In had to. There were many of those, but the price? Oh my, oh my. 

 The market in Enschede, I took this picture out of a window in a shopping centre. This market is huge, with lots of vegetables, fruit and fish.

Another shopping centre... Not much has changed though in this City but I really enjoyed my time there. 

 Like I said, fish aswell on the market. In many, many shapes.

One of the many statues in Enschede, 'A newspaper boy.'

The 'Grote Kerk' in Enschede, ( The Big Church in Enschede) 

There was an option to go inside the church, and so I did. Look at the big colored windows, I asked if I could take pictures inside, "As many as you want," they said. 

Preacher area. 

Another colored window, we call them 'glas in lood.' 

A statue dedicated to a huge fire disaster back in 2002.

A bizarre art painting in the middle of the city.. 

Weird and strange art objects aswell in Enschede, here you see an old German vehicle with a Mohawk.

Ofcource many bicycles in this City aswell, here you see a few of them at the train station. Train station? Yeah, I was heading home, it's been a good and a long afternoon. Time to go home.










Sometimes people here ask me if I'm already feeling at home here in Almelo, I was thinking about this aswell this afternoon. I can't really answer that, I guess I'm still floating between Almelo, Canada and my old village Nijverdal. It feels like I'm still traveling aswell, I still have to live longer here where I live to let it really feel like I'm at home. It's an awkward feeling though this, I moved quit alot the last five years. Aswell as a kid, me and my parents moved alot aswell. Though it's always nice to be back at my place, the place where I live now, and that's a good sign, right?
