Een ervaring in Amsterdam
Amsterdam city center
Years ago I was having lunch in a lunchroom in the center of Amsterdam, the lunchroom was led by a married couple, I asked the woman where the Oudemanhuispoort was because they sell second-hand books there, she said with disgust in her voice:'You're just like my husband with all those books, they are all dust nests, nothing but misery'. Ik zei:"Be glad that your husband spends his money on books and not on drink and whores."’
When I left the shop the man came to me took me by the arm nodded his head and said grateful:Thank you for your support sir!’
