Living well is the best revenge
This is my last day in Amsterdam, oh my god, I’m starting to realize it 
All my colleagues are shacking my hand and wishing good luck for my second Berlin experience. Berlin 2.0, in any sense. They just gave me a group picture and a box full of Dutch products I won’t find in Germany: sate saus, pindakaas (peanut butter is worldwide available, I know, but the Dutch one is somehow better), dropjes, schudde buikjes and so on… So sweet! Yesterday I had a delicious dinner with Erik at Café de Jaren and I also got some presents 
which I really appreciated, especially North Pole Camouflage, for it has a particular meaning… This evening I’ll participate to a Easter party at Krijn’s and I’m supposed to paint some eggs as part of a competition: will I win the prize?
Because I’m moving, I’m not sure how fast I’ll be back blogging… just stay tuned!
Amsterdam’s loss is our gain here in Berlin. Were you given a second inflatable man to keep the first one company?

Pino, too bad we loose you here in Amsterdam but I sure do hope you will find lots of love, happiness and luck in Berlin. I look forward to follow your life adventures here and elsewhere on the web and hopefully one day we’ll meet somewhere
Have a great trip back “home” and get there safely.
I’m curious whether you were the lucky winner…? Frohe Eier… ähem, Ostern!

The sate sauce…my Goodness! How could I stay without it? NOOOO WAAAAY, man!
And what about the poffertjes??? (http://lavaligiadicartone.wordpress.com/2008/04/15/poffertjes-un-dolce-tipico-olandese-quello-che-gigi-non-ha-potuto-mangiare/)
Despite Berlin is a wonderful city, I really prefer Amsterdam…more quite, smaller, Amsterdam gives more the sense of intimacy…
Amsterdam is a small, big village, made of silences, soft lights and a foggy sun…

I can’t stand the poffertjes, sorry
De gustibus non disputandum est, you know, this is also true regarding the city where one wants to live.
Probably, if I lived in Amsterdam first, I would have enjoyed it much more, but I have to say that Berlin suits me best.
I don’t share but I understand how you see Amsterdam except for only one thing: made of silences?
