[Edit description for Delft]

Delft is one of the most beautiful cities in The Netherlands. Though quite small, the old city is charming. Many canals dissect the city. Delft will always be associated with the famous painter Johannes Vermeer and the beautiful blue ceramics and pottery.

Delft also has a historical value and is of national importance. The founding father of The Netherlands lived in Delft and he was also murdered here. Proof of this can still been seen in the 'Prinsenhof' (bullet holes in the wall). This was his residence, and the bullet holes are preserved behind a glass plate. Since then, all of the monarchs of The Netherlands have been buried in the church 'Nieuwe Kerk'.

The Ikea experience

Jan 19, 2008 - Jun 20, 2008

Delft, Netherlands -› Den Haag, Netherlands -› ...

This week a friend asked me if I wanted to join him to go order his new kitchen at the Ikea. I always like to go to the Ikea. We wanted to go as early as possible, because it is weekend and everybody in the Netherlands go to the Ikea at a saturday. So we arrived at 10:00 in the morning. We went to the kitchen area strait away. My friend went to stand in line. When it was his turn we where set on a list and had to wait at a computer. Then the waiting started. It was now 10:30. At the moment my...

Pretty Delft, with it's lily canals and beautiful churches is like a cleaner version of Amsterdam. It's nice to see canals not clogged with tourist boats and rubbish-littered water. Delft has two churches, an old and a new one, both equally impressive. Delft is famous for it's white and blue painted ceramics, though I didn't see too many touristy shops selling these (I think they are mostly located in Amsterdam!). The central market square of the city is bustling and seems to be where all the...
