Please excuse the delay - I've been very busy with the holiday season, travel and some other fun. This is the short entry, just a little local culture. Alex and I were offered tickets to go see AJAX (pronounced eye-ax), Amsterdam's home team play against Rotterdam's Spartans.
We sat in some far away seats, but they were covered so if the weather had been inclement we'd have stayed dry. It was cold, so we dressed warmly (note, include the bottoms of the Hot Chili's next time - thighs get quite chilled!)
Not only did AJAX win, but there was even a bit of what Alex would call "aggro" in the stands quite close to us. There were some Spartan fans sitting in the AJAX area and when their team scored they cheered - which spurred what looked like a bit of food throwing (flying french fries!) and some obvious verbal 'banter'. The Spartan fans were removed (as was the AJAX fan - but he was allowed back a short time later).
Anyway, it was great to see a local team play live, and they played very well.
Here are a couple of shots I was able to get.
