i eat more chinese food in amsterdam than i do in nyc

gosh thats a long title…

in other news, the whole studios been working incessantly since i got here (well…not since, but well before too), but i did have time to meet up with lysha last friday. i hadnt seen her since, well, since i was last in amsterdam (duh). my coworker gabor joined us too while we hunted for food around chinatown. we ended up at new king and ordered ourselves a nice and wholesome chinese dinner. except we ordered 2 dishes with chinese broccoli…oops. we roamed the leidesplein afterwards for some beer, but all the spots were filled up with british tourists…sigh. we migrated over to rembrandtplein and settled down in the cafe of escape instead, and drank away the rest of the night. ah relaxing.

the new animator arrived monday too…tianyi from shanghai. im the unofficial translator, because her english blows. which is funny, because so does my chinese…yay! k its not that bad, but i do need to whip out my chinese-english dictionary every so often. and when i say “every so often”, i mean every other word. we took her to chinatown tuesday just because we blindly assumed being chinese meant she only liked chinese food…ha! we actually ended up back at new king because they have the best chinese ive had in amsterdam so far. and we didnt repeat our chinese broccoli mistake from the past friday and instead ordered a pretty rockin’ set of food. <3.

beautiful amsterdam weather…woot.
