Not sure if this is going to work out of the box… but Darren has provided his fans with a cool little widget that should always display the latest available tracks.

Today our friend Christos from Cyprus (who actually lives in Athens) will come to visit us. He’ll take along a friend as well. They are staying for 8 days in Amsterdam and he wants to show Rotterdam to his friend as well. So, this afternoon we will get them from the trainstation and then go and do some shopping in the centre of Rotterdam.

In the evening we’re going to attend ‘Villa Achterdeur‘ which is a great party here in Rotterdam. The party is in ‘Off Corso’ and starts from 19:00 till 01:00. We hope they will like it just as much as we always do

Tomorrow Menno will be attending a computer course (writing php) and I’ll travel with our friends throughout the country towards Utrecht (where Menno will be) and finally bring them back to Amsterdam. So, it’s a busy schedule for us these coming days… But we’ll enjoy it!

Tonight we’ll be celebrating halloween in our neighbourhood. It’s not common for us Dutchies to celebrate this so it’s difficult to make it special. This year it is very hard to find a decent sized pumpkin!

Our city supports the people who do stuff together to make the neighbourhood a better place. They call it “opzoomeren”, named after the first street that started this. This year it’s the third time we celebrate this and it gets bigger every year. Last year there even was a haunted house in the street next to us… how cool is that!?

All the children dress up and go to the houses for trick or treat. So they sing their little song and then we give them some candy Ofcourse we need to to something special for the kids too and we “pimp” our garden a little to make it spooky. We probably have as much fun as the kids: preparing a scary garden :p Later tonight or tomorrow we will add a gallery with some pictures.

Update: It was great fun! They made a haunted house a few streets next to us and it was really scary… the kids (and their parents) loved our garden and we enjoyed ourselves also. Check out the gallery for the pictures.
