First day in Amsterdam
Unprecedental 5 degree celcius in Amsterham in May (supposed to be Spring), very cold
I did not bring many clothes, dilemma really, I have to travel light. I do not want at all carrying heavy luggage to go from one train station to another.
Have to try to adjust to this cold weather, though people said that I can buy clothes here but all stores here are selling Spring collection....
May have to go to University area and see whether I can get all year available pullover hahaha :)
Apart from cold weather, streets are full of rubbish bags. Cleaners are on strike. I saw a girl taking a photo of the mountain like rubbish bags. She accidentally fell and sat on to the rubbish bags. Not very pleasant ha but she seemed happy even though her trouser smelled now. Coudl not imagine the streets will be like in next couple days.
The Stedelijk musuem's renovation work has not completed. The completion date has been further delayed. But Van Gogh museum is the best van gogh museum if compared to the one in barcelona and in arles. The museum building itself is stylish. Paintings are well presented. They also showed Gauguin's works.From this exhbition, I know more Japanese painting influence on Van gogh. Now I remembered Van Gogh by colours: blue, yellow, green.Rembrand works in Rijksmuseum gave me new understanding of the Jewish bride and apostle Paul. When facing the paintings, I like Apostle Paul even more. Reambrand reminds me how complex color black can be.
