Weird, the first picture isn’t in Amsterdam, but in The Hague (Den Haag Hollands Spoor).

You could argue the same about emission zones which are common across Europe (mainly in inner cities). Just because your vehicle is allowed on the road, it doesn’t you can drive it anywhere.

At the moment I’m reading Dead Souls by Gogol. I’ve been at it for a while. It’s a bit heavy for a summer read, but I’m enjoying it somewhat. It’s fun to see all the colorful characters that come across, but I have the idea a lot is going over my head as I’m not that familiar with the Russia of that time. It’s sad quite a bit is missing of the second part.

Only about 70 pages left. The next book will definitely be something lighter…

Is this still a boring dystopia? This is pretty neat. Dystopian, yes, but neat.
