Weekend in Zeeland

I was late again this morning, fortunatly my boss is still in Praag, otherwise he would say " It is reasonable you are late, because you live too far away." Well~everyone knows I live 2 minutes walking from the office.

I have had a very, very busy weekend. We went to walk the dog on beach Wassenaar on Saturday. (ps. it is not my dog) A super cute little doggy. The reason we took care of the dog for half day is, remie wants me to get some experiences about keeping a dog, otherwise I want to buy a dog everyday without thinking how difficult it will be. It was a great time to play with the dog on beach, coz this little fellow is quite lively. She shows her interest to all the dogs on the beach, and finally she got problem from an dog couple. That girl became jealouse that our princess is too close to her boyfriend. In Dutch they say, small dog but big world. Nobody agrees me to keep a dog because I am not able to supply it a good living condition yet. I think they are right, I have to wait if I really love dogs.

Our weekend trip just started after the sunset, we got on the train to Zeeland to meet remie's parents. It was the first time he introduced me to his parents. I did not feel nervous because I know most Dutch parents are quite kind and open-minded. Same as I thought, I had a nice weekend togethter with remie's family. I also met the grandmother of remie who is 87 years old already but still a healthy, fashion lady. The first question she asked me was "You are not going back to China, are you?" Because she has two grandsons both have Chinese girlfriends. But another grandson will go to settle in China next year with girlfriend. Grandma is afraid that I will bring remie away to China, too. She started to ask my name after made sure that I will stay in Netherlands.

We had a hard day on Sunday, we visited the beach and the forest in Zeeland with bicycle. Totally we biked about 25 km, I never biked such long distance in my life... I was very tired, but still feel excited to see the beautiful landscape in Zeeland. They have typical Dutch landscape which we always see from the paintings.

There are many big or small "Dam" in Netherlands to protect the land from water.
