In Netherlands.

最近、恥をさらして英語で日記を書いています。
とりあえず、今回はオランダ旅行篇です。

旅行の全行程は旅行行程 16/02/2007-05/03/2007にまとめています。

In this travel at first, I went to schiphol airpost from Kansai International Airport.
I could not find train for Amsterdam Centraal.
In Europe(not only Netherlands), almost station don’t have a railway map like Japanese railways.
In the end, I arrived at Amsterdam Centraal for an hour.

On the way to Amsterdam Centraal, I found some building.
It was very good design. Some building is very famous all over the World.
Their color was sometimes unique. Elementary colors were used (ex.Yellow and red and blue).
Not only buildings, their designs are called Dutch Design.
You can find them in schiphol airport easily. for example, KML airplane, and almost sign.
I like them very much.

In Amsterdam, I went to the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and the Van Gogh Museum.

In the Rijksmeseum Amsterdam, I wanted to see “Night Watch” by Rembrandt(in Japanese “夜警”)
I felt it is huge and wounderful. It was excited me.

In the Van Gogh Museam. I had never seen Van Gogh’s picture.
And I felt His picture were changing as he grew older.

Anyway, I was very lucky and happy. Because I met concerts in both museum.
So, the stage is made in museam. Needless to say, their music was also good.

Next day, I went to Utrecht. It is very famous as Dick Bruna living.
We can find many nijntje in this city.
I went to Centraal Museum Utrecht and Dick Bruna Huis. (Maybe meaning of huis is house in english.)
Dick Bruna Huis is a small, so it is smaller than Dick Bruna Exhibition in Santory Museum Tenpozan in Osaka.

And I joined a tour for Rietveld Schröder Huis from this museam.
This house is known as one of the world heritage.
But this tour is guide by Dutch.
(there are not only Dutch tour but also English tour.
but then I could join only Dutch tour.
And we have nothing to come in this house but join the tour.)
I didn’t get it! This house is very special and interesting.
Many part of this can move. it’s like a Japanese “忍者屋敷”.
And I felt it is very useful and good interface.

So, I like Netherlands the most in this travel.

後身のために一言。
ユトレヒトのユース(Stayokay Hostel Utrecht-Bunnik)は森の中にあってのどかで悪くないのですが、
ユトレヒトから歩いていこうなんて決して考えない方がいいです。バスか、電車で。
