I think that these are Nepali ‘snacks’

This looks more like South-East Asian food

Some Limburgers like exotic food

Local product, our region is famous for it’s fruit

Walking in Haarlem 1 July 2012

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.
