A'dam Day 145 -- alternative count: Day 11

approximately 100 days left to hug him again
seeing Paul, 3 years later, in about 4h

a view on my piece today:
[from Belgium's final submission on Question no. 3]:

"That Belgium's present request for the reactivation of the Iron Rhine does not amount to a request that a new route on Belgium territory be prolonged on Dutch territory according to the same plan, with the consequence that Belgium is not under the obligation to bear the costs and financial risks associated with this reactivation." - now is it?!

Question of the day: Why aren't there any postal deliveries made on Sunday?

A'dam Day 144 -- alternative count: Day 10

working on: IDS paper -- VRK planning -- stickin to the NOPE -- cleanin & welcomin

today's piece of learning: "Art 31 (3) (c) VCLT provides one means within the framework of the VCLT, through which the relationship of interpretation may be applied. The article gives expression to the objective of 'systemic integration' according to which, whatever the subject matter, treaties are a creation of the international legal system and their operation is predicated upon that fact." - ILC's 58th session, Aug 006

tomorrow: Paul's arrival! :)

as for the rest: "Borrowing from the Christmas carol "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," he crooned: "I'm making a list, I'm checking it twice, I'm going to find out who's naughty or nice. Ban Ki-Moon is coming to town." Reuters 2007. All Rights Reserved.

A'dam Day 136

anxiety of first 24h -- paper deadline -- mates visiting -- energy needs
for now, everything seems normal, except for my endless desire for sleep :) Good Morning!

A'dam Day 134

holidays are obviously over for a while now, but I somehow keep clinging on... both exhibitions we've seen were great (the BODIES & the foam_fotografie museum), the afternoon walks ever exciting, and Den Haag views at Sea level as overwhelming as the Utrecht top of the Dome...

i'm definitely trying to move on, but it somehow seems a lot slower & harder than initially expected. trying to similarly focus on my e-ticket, but that doesn't help much either. so, till then, i just seem internet-obssessed for a couple of days now...

a pic of the foam_fotografie to end the grasp of not-so-long-gone events:

A'dam Day 133
