Den Haag, the political capital

After long time, the weather is nice and warm again, so I set off on a trip to Den Haag, just 15 minutes by train from Rotterdam. Although it is the seat of Dutch government, it is not the official capital as I has heard before. It is the third largest city in the Netherlands (after Amsterdam and Rotterdam) with approximately 470 000 inhabitants.
I might have gone with some other guys, but I wanted to be alone this time. I definitely didn't regret and had a wonderful day, as the city is really beautiful! I spent lots of time in a shopping mall with funky household stuffs and enjoyed many delicious meals and snacks. I didn't forget to see the International Court of Justice, based in den Haag.



Mediterranean dinner
One more thing... yesterday the AI guys and some GN board members went for a Mediterranean dinner, so I joined the group as well. The place was very well-decorated and created an authentic atmosphere. I ordered a salmon and it was the best salmon I have ever tasted! So soft, delicious, with a typically flavour, excellent!

In the end, it got wild, some girls started to play boobs competition, people from Asia Pacific region started to dance "It's time to disco" and there were some other random faci roll-calls from various conferences...
Gabiza pertinently commented on the situation in "Oh no, we are going the wrong way!" :D It was fun:)



Oh, actually I have still one more thing:)... here are some pics from yesterday's Happy hour (before the Mediterranean dinner), where you can also see a ping pong table occupied by GN board members, who are staying temporarily in the office until IC.

Unhappy people
