- We'll be relocating to Prague on Thu, 27-Feb, for our next phase of studies.

- Time to say goodbye to Tilburg, Netherlands.

- Gave a scarf to thank Lizzy - the Admin Officer who is so helpful and often goes beyond her scope of duty.

- After 5 months here, I can say that I like Netherlands ...

- For its bicycle lanes!

- For its quality food produce - cheese, ham, sausages, fruit, vege, etc.

- For its quality products - bicycles built to last a lifetime, photocopiers designed not to emit toner fumes and built like a tank, etc.

- For its quality of life - shops are closed on Sundays in most towns for family time; employees especially ladies can work part-time to provide better care for their children, there is complimentary tea and coffee in government service offices and in supermarkets, etc.

- Law and order, safety and low-crime - haven't seen a window with grilles! - so unlike Singapore - windows and doors have grilles.
