Last tuesday the Dutch squad beat Italy's team by 3-0. The Dutch had to wait 30 years for a victory against Italy, so it was natural that all the dutch fans were eager to see the match. Here are some pics I made before and during the match. The owner of the Cafe De Kleine Witte, where I watched gave a round of Heineken beer for every goal the Dutch team scored, so I could not take any decent photographs after the match, of course I had more beers beside the free ones. I hope you don't mind to much.
The first picture was made before the match. The street was decorated and it really looked festive.
The second picture was inside The Cafe:
(by the way can you see the sign Nyntje pleintje,
which means Nyntje's square,
Yes they named that area after good old me. It costed me a fortune)
The next pictures were outside:

These are 4 girls who worked for Bami Kwa on the Pasar Malam Besar in The Hague. The Pasar Malam Besar (PMB) was held for the 50th time this year. It was started to be a place where Dutch people evicted from Indonesia, who were born and raised there, could meet and enjoy each others company, be merry enjoy their music and the delicious indonesian food. It was started by Tjalie Robinson, a writer from the Dutch East Indies. Bami Kwa is one of the foodstands that were there almost from the start. It has one of the best recepies for Babi Panggang.
This is a painter, Hetty Ansing, whom I also meet every year at the Pasar Malam Besar and she paints the most beautiful watercolors of Indonesia.
