Happy New Year and a lot of loose ends

Chinese New Year
China in London
The nice thing about living in London is it’s diversity in cultures. There is a rather big Chinese community in London, and yesterday was the celebration of the Chinese New Year. The Year of the Pig has now officially started. The streets look beautiful with the red lanterns and there are […]

The Magic Roundabout
and I am not exaggerating, but I think I have everything booked now for the Journey of a Lunatic.
The Journey of a Lunatic
February 7th, 2007
Right. I think I’ve actually overdone myself in madness this time. But I believe in that simple-twist-of-fate I was talking about even more now.
Let me tell you what my plan was - yesterday. Oh : long post alert.
Happy New Year from Nighy York
December 31st, 2006
The city here is crazy at the moment, 42nd Street / Times Square (I had to go back there after the play to get the subway), it is the street with the coolest name, that’s for sure, is at this moment also the most busiest street in New York. Already nearly completely closed down […]
Top of the Bi.., ehrm, Rock
December 30th, 2006
I did it. I did it!
I was tired and thought that that would be a good moment. Too tired to be afraid of heights, I thought. Yeah right, who was I kidding.
Look up the stars, see how they shine for you

So we met with this man who looked like he had just walked out of a movie : cool. Completely in black, absolutely sharp dressed and wearing a beautifully distinguished black hat. He was going to show us around in Central Park, by night.
In a New York minute, everything will change
December 28th, 2006
I know it’s pathetic to write “not sure I will be writing before the end of the year bla bla bla” just to show up the next day again. I found a cheap internetcafe at last and I mostly had to check if I hadn’t written anything completely ridiculous yesterday, as I was quite a […]
The Nighy Hour

OK, I have to write now, if not I would be screaming on Times Square, and with all the police men going around there, this was the safer option.
New York, New York
December 27th, 2006
Well I am alive and well, and I am in New York!
It is an overwhelming city, with very very few internet cafe’s, took me until now to find this one, and they are very expensive. So - dear readers, I am afraid that that means that updates here will be more or less postponed until […]
There’s no beginning, There’ll be no end

Journeys …
It was a long wait, but I am happy to say that I am off now.
It’s up to you, New York, New York …
What was the word? Oh, yes, tragic romantic.
The Girl on tour
December 7th, 2006
And that is me this time. When the plane made a perfect circle over London I was surprised how big the city was. It looked huge from the air. It doesn’t feel huge when I walk around in it, probably because it feels familiar and like home. I’ll be back in London on Sunday. I […]

Guards at Buckingham Palace
It is a very weird idea, but tonight I will be in a theatre in Utrecht to see him, yes one of these tickets is mine. I think it’s going to be good. Not only the theatre, but also a few relaxing days with family, after a hectic startup period in London.
Won’t […]
To London
February 13th, 2006
They picked up my tv yesterday, and my internetconnection decided to leave too. Which made it a very weird and silent evening. But no further excuses to not start packing, both boxes and my suitcase. And to throw out even more stuff. The fact that I have to carry it down myself all together, […]
CU London
November 6th, 2005
Voor je het weet is het zondag en ben je zo langzamerhand op weg naar het vliegveld. Het regent.
Ik bezocht het Science Museum, een gigantisch museum wat je niet in 2 uur kunt zien, en dus moet ik een keer terug. Maar wel de moeite waard, vooral voor nerds en wetenschap geinteresseerden. Ik moet echt […]
Mission Accomplished
November 5th, 2005
Na mijn al te positieve kommentaar over de Tube gisteren, ging het vandaag mis. Een deel van de Central Line viel uit, en de Central Line was de lijn naar de BBC television studios. Er werden bussen in gezet, maar in plaats van een stop naast de studios werd het een stop er ver vandaan. […]
Richard II in Old Vic
November 5th, 2005
Ik kocht het kaartje enkel en alleen voor Kevin Spacey, wist bijna niets van Shakespeare en al helemaal niets van Richard II. Ik las het stuk in het engels, maar het oude engels was zo moeilijk te volgen dat ik opgaf. Ik vreesde er niet veel van te kunnen volgen.
Maar dat viel allemaal erg mee. […]
London Live
November 4th, 2005
Het tv-2 koncert gisteren was niet onaardig, maar Blue Orange in een obscuur kamertje maakte zoveel meer indruk. De Londonse underground is de beste uitvinding, echt fantastisch ik heb nog niet langer dan 3 minuten op een trein hoeven wachten. Het hotel is nog verder vergaan dan de vorige keer, maar who cares als […]
Blue Orange
November 4th, 2005
I send them a mail about a month ago, with the request to get access. I didn’t actually expect them to give tourists access. But a few days later I got an email back from them, with an official invitation, they had made a reservation for me on Friday the 4th of November […]
London - the plans
October 6th, 2005
Ik ben al vaker in London geweest, maar ik ben er nog nooit echt voorbereid naar toe gegaan. Dit keer wel. Ik deed wat onderzoek, want de Big Ben, The London Eye, The Tower Bridge ik heb het allemaal al meerdere malen gezien. Omdat ik een onvoorbereide toerist was.
Dit keer wordt het anders.
Ik wil naar […]
