Cape Town Chronicles: June 2006

http://capetownchronicles.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

The things you don't read in the newspapers. Tuesday, June 27, 2006. The CTC are taking a little break in the Netherlands. Too bad that the worst referee of all time managed to work Holland out of the World Championship Soccer prematurely. (Of course the players were not to blame! Maybe there will be some posts from Holland, maybe not. In any case will this site be up and running again from July 10 (2006). Posted by Laura Kors at Tuesday, June 27, 2006. Thursday, June 15, 2006. Gangs, Drugs en Aids.

muumiblog: July 2006

http://muumi-nl.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 29, 2006. Ik ontvlucht de hitte even. Hoewel ik begrijp dat het hier ook wat koeler wordt. We zullen wel zien. De weersverwachting voorspelt niet veel goeds. (klik ook hiernaast). Hopelijk breekt daar in ieder geval even geen revolutie uit. Кот Да Винчи и Che Бурашка. Thursday, July 27, 2006. En binnen is het met 26-28 graden dag en nacht ook nauwelijks uit te houden. Zucht. Friday, July 21, 2006. Wat mij tot een paar weken geleden niet was overkomen. Rare jongens, die Oekraïners. Gelukkig...

muumiblog: 1909: Street Life

http://muumi-nl.blogspot.com/2007/01/1909-street-life.html

Tuesday, January 30, 2007. Try to imagine. A Russian city a hundred years ago. Streets are quiet – according to Western European standards. All that can be heard is the sound of shouting people: drivers asking passers-by to be careful, street vendors praising their wares. When reading these things, it seems close, but yet so far away. Time gone by. Too bad they did not use Edison’s phonograph. For recording the street sounds on Khreschatyk. Picture left, source: wek.kiev.ua. Апельсины, лимоны хорошіе!

muumiblog: March 2007

http://muumi-nl.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 17, 2007. It seems that on many of the blogs I usually read, there is something that looks like a blog fatigue. There are by far not as many entries as there were some time ago, and for example Bureau Belgrado. Seems to have given up completely - regardless of their award last year. I wonder what causes this. The change of seasons? Or is there something else? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Spoonful of Russian. Kiev Ukraine News Blog. Майдан.nl: Українці в Нідерландах. Kiev Ukraine News Blog.

Cape Town Chronicles: February 2006

http://capetownchronicles.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html

The things you don't read in the newspapers. Tuesday, February 28, 2006. It took me quite a while to take my boyfriend serious when he talked in his own language, Afrikaans. To me it sounded like some funny version of Dutch, that small children speak in the Netherlands. Now, after a couple of months I am used to it and is it only on rare ocassions funny. Like the other day, when I heard somebody use the word. Posted by Laura Kors at Tuesday, February 28, 2006. Monday, February 27, 2006. I must admit thes...

The things you don't read in the newspapers. Thursday, March 30, 2006. NL vs SA (part 1). NL = the Netherlands SA= South-Africa. In SA you can drink water from a little stream in a forest, in NL you will die, get sick, if not people will think you're crazy anyway. DON'T put your degree on your business card in NL, they will think you are showing off, but please do in SA, so people will know you actually had an education. In NL you obey all the rules, in SA just the ones you like. Wednesday, March 29, 2006.

muumiblog: April 2006

http://muumi-nl.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 30, 2006. Ik krijg toch een beetje een meewarig gevoel als ik zie dat mijn vrienden in Moskou. Vierden. Niet vanwege het verscheiden. Van Rien van Drunen. Maar vooral als ik me realiseer dat men zich nu opmaakt voor 1 mei. In Nederland wordt morgen gewoon gewerkt, ook door ambtenaren, met uitzondering van een rood bolwerk. Dat nog gaat duren. Wednesday, April 26, 2006. Vanmiddag was ik nog op De Krim. Helaas niet in Oekraïne. Ik moest me behelpen met Delft, tussen Siberië en Letland. Was he...

muumiblog: Мартеница

http://muumi-nl.blogspot.com/2007/02/blog-post.html

Wednesday, February 28, 2007. The last few days the whole city was turning red and white. In the Netherlands that would usually mean that some soccer team is playing an important match. Not on the Balkans (Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania). Here it is a pagan tradition related to the transformation from winter to spring. It is called Martenitsa. In Bulgaria, and Mărţişor.
