- ABBA's grace is so amazing.

- I had absolutely no plans for Chinese New Year (first day is on Monday, 26Jan)

- Via His grace, 2 weeks ago, I was furnished with an email contact of a lady who once worked in the same organization.

- Chinese New Year (CNY) was not even on my mind.

- When she returned my email, she invited me to celebrate CNY with her family!

- It was only then, that I enquired with a coursemate and knew the date of CNY.

- So, today I visited Mary in Amsterdam and met her family.

- We had a full day, and one of it was to decorate her house with CNY decor! - something I had not done for a long time!

- One pix show me enjoying raw herring in Amsterdam Central

- Another is the shop exterior of a "coffee shop".

- Coffee Shops are licensed to sell soft drugs - in Netherlands, it is the right of people to enjoy stress-relieving moments.
