Guru Gobind Singh’s Gurpurab according to the Nanakshahi Calendar

On the 5th of January Sikhs who follow the Nanakshahi Calendar, and not the Sant Baba version adopted by SGPC, celebrate the birthday of Guru Gobind Singh !

I wish you a very good day tomorrow, and hope that all Sikhs will seriously try to follow the teachings of the Ten Guru’s, which they received from The One !

Den Haag, Transvaalbuurt, Goats, 29 June; Walking in Haarlem 1 July 2012

No more Den Haag Trams !

The white ones are clearly European goats
The brown one with the ears hanging down is like Indian goats

Again white European and brown non-European goat
I think that there are ‘hanging ears goats’ in Africa too

Walking in Haarlem

On the 1st of July I met with four of my Netherlands friends, three of which date back to our student days. We came together at the Haarlem house of Robert and Rosemarie, and went for a walk, guided by Haarlem born and bred Robert. You can follow the walk using Google maps. We started from Santpoortplein, but the first pictures were taken on Schotersingel.

Schotersingel, I think these are some kind of eco-houses.

This one looks like an Indian goat doesn’t it ?

The goat at the back with its ears standing up is Dutch, the goat in front, with the ears hanging down is not Dutch

Den Haag, HTM, Tram 17, Gravenstraat, Waldeck Pyrmontkade to Statenkwartier, 29 June 2012

I walked the full length of the route of Tram 17 from Station Holland Spoor to the Statenkwartier, but went about it in a funny way. On 28 June I walked from Waldeck Pyrmontkade/Laan van Meerdervoort to Gravenstraat. The next day I walked from Jacob Catsstraat via Holland Spoor and Centraal Station to Gravenstraat, then took the tram to Waldeck Pyrmontkade and from there walked to Statenkwartier.
