Our geography lessons have taken us to Europe this time, after we completed Asia and the Americas. We started off in northern Europe and had fun learning some Norwegian words. Now as we moved a little south, the girls have become fascinated with.... Amsterdam! We watched a travel show (Passport to Europe with Samantha Brown, borrowed from the library) and the girls were awed by the beauty of the Amsterdam canals. Tai Pi insists that we move to Amsterdam ("It's so beautiful, not like Singapore!").
So beautiful!
The girls know exactly what they want to do there - live in one of the houseboats moored along the canal, visit Anne Frank's Secret Annex and of course the museum dedicated to their most favourite artist Vincent Van Gogh.
This morning they watched the travel show for the 3rd time and continue with their demands to go to Amsterdam. Sigh... I would love to visit Amsterdam too, or anywhere in Europe for that matter, having never set foot in that continent except for that little bit of Istanbul that sits in Europe but that doesn't count. Hopefully someday soon, someday soon.

Wow, its a great studying with travelling to around the world. Hopely someday would be like that. But I think you have proud with your country-Singapore. Being Nationalism.
