Brooke in Amsterdam: April 2010
http://christensenamsterdam.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 25, 2010. I am always exhausted by the time Sunday afternoon comes around. The good kind of tired that radiates out through your body while gifting you with lovely memories. On Sunday mornings I get to do church. My experience of "church" over the past few years, I'm sure, has seriously screwed me up for life. Yet Sunday mornings are pretty fun in and of themselves! We worship in Dutch and English while sipping coffee and tea (yes this plays a significant role throughout the service! Insane...

Brooke in Amsterdam: September 2010
http://christensenamsterdam.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 13, 2010. I'm remembering back to Ouarda's wedding today. It was so lovely. Thoroughly Moroccan, meaning fabulous food, dancing, music, and most important gorgeous dresses. yet set in the Netherlands. It was a joy to be there. May you have many happy years of marriage Ouarda and Hamid! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Cup of Vichyssoise. Bayt al-Sabaya (بيت الصبايا). The Syrian "Cultural Conscious". Crossroads of my Doorstep.

Brooke in Amsterdam: May 2011
http://christensenamsterdam.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 24, 2011. I went away last weekend to Berlin. It was grand. I'm trying to process. It was perfect timing to get away, following a couple exhausting weeks. I needed some new; new art, new museums, new food, new metro system, new conversations with old friends. And the time exceeded my expectations! 1) To walk around Berlin without. An open giant bottle of beer is so not cool. 3) Russian food is spectacular. 4) I managed to not eat one sausage. I'm okay with that. I'm not used to that. The las...

Brooke in Amsterdam: October 2010
http://christensenamsterdam.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Would you know how to intall this? And it would make me cringe thinking of them sitting on there. But yesterday, I did it! And man, did it feel great to get greasy fingers and and figure out how to install my brand spanking new bike rack (there's actually a better term for it, but it's slipping my mind). This has come after a few weeks of high "You can do it" moments for me! And only merged onto oncoming traffic once! Thanks for relishing my "you can do it" moments! They starte...

Brooke in Amsterdam: kids books and the dutch writers behind them
http://christensenamsterdam.blogspot.com/2011/02/kids-books-and-dutch-writers-behind.html
Sunday, February 27, 2011. Kids books and the dutch writers behind them. I promptly bought the book and have been enjoying reading them now in dutch. Check them out below:. Jesus and his followers. Abraham and the promise. So to complete my random blog entry I would say that dutch children's writers/illustrators may have the corner on the kid's lit market. Hurrah for the lovely language of double "e" words. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Cup of Vichyssoise. Bayt al-Sabaya (بيت الصبايا).

Brooke in Amsterdam: January 2011
http://christensenamsterdam.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Here's an article I thought very fascinating about the Grant Tour which Chinese tourists like to take of Europe. It brought a toe step closer a culture which based on my West coast/middle America/North African upbringing has been entirely unknown. Here's a link if you're interested:. And one more random article just for fun. if you're like me and find random bits of knowledge incredibly delightful (it's also from The Economist):. An elegy on the British pub. By Lesslie Newbigin...

Brooke in Amsterdam: May 2010
http://christensenamsterdam.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 27, 2010. Sunday, May 16, 2010. We had our first baptism today at a lovely little Christian community house that had a super nice chapel, including the all important baptismal! I know Amsterdam is in need of new life from the weight of this trash, the Gulf of Mexico and the animals affected by the spill, and myself and the whole of the world. Noise and trash: reminders of the decadence of life and the need of a Savior. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Cup of Vichyssoise. Janno van der laan.
