Niet helemaal ondersteboven. Het is een hoek van 143 graden. Omdat hij geïnspireerd is op de kaarten uit de 17e eeuw en het toen gebruikelijk was om Amsterdam zo op de kaart te zetten.

What Does ‘6-7’ Mean? Maybe Tweens Don’t Want You to Know.

Everyone wants to understand the generation below them. Can young people rebuff those efforts by being completely absurd?

Sterfdag René Goscinny (1926-1977), die tot zijn dood de briljante scenario's schreef van o.a. Asterix en Lucky Luke. Een zeer komische reeks kinderboeken is 'De kleine Nicolaas', met fantastische tekeningen van Jean-Jacques Sempé. Een aanrader voor jonge lezers!

At the time, what is now the river IJ was a sea arm of the Zuiderzee (South Sea). In 1932 the Afsluitdijk (closing dike) was completed, closing the Zuiderzee off from the North Sea and turning it into lake IJsselmeer.

Until about the middle of the 19th century the water of the IJ (a diphthong pronounced somewhat like 'eye') reached up to this dike.

Got up long before daybreak. A relaxing, quiet morning, save for the birds singing and chirping amidst the plants on our balcony - and in the treetops (at eye height). A double espresso. Twice. Clearing aways last night's dishes while enjoying Radio Paradise's Mellow Mix.
