balcony gardening experiment enters
its last phase

an arab colleague once shouted "HEY' to grab
our attention.
gidionics replied;
dont shout at me like that-i'm not a dog-een
beetje respect,klootzak!
de klootzak replied;
what are you complaining about????
this is holland-dogs are treated better
than humans

he was right-
the dog fashion boutique says it all.

the annual amsterdam jordaan festival
- a musical celebration of the traditional "levenslied"
(song of life)-a local version of the blues.



born and bred amsterdammers,young and
old standing side by side-a living amsterdam
folk culture.
special-
as cities change and wealth spreads- individualism,
conservative values and superficial interests take the
place of community and family values.

luckily there are still mokum amsterdammers

london used to have the same folk tradition-
a while ago we posted "cockney knees up"
on gidionics youtube channel.
maybe we should investigate the possibility of
a cockney/mokum festival!

caught a big one
