Something about Netherlands

I just mainly stayed in Amsterdam in Netherlands. One of the reasons is I am already very tired and also this is a Christian hostels, most of the staffs are volunteers and very passionate in their jobs. And there is a lovely cat staying in the cafe.

I am very lazy to search for travel informations. Everyday went out around 1pm and only for 2-3 hours, I was already exhausted. The official website of Amsterdam is not very helpful and one day I went to Almere which is indicated as full of interesting architectures, but I cannot really found them out for the first 2 hours. As the landscapes of Netherlands is totally flat and most of the buildings are very low, not more than 5 floors in the area that I visited. So I spends a long time to search them out. And a bit disappointed.

But I met a lady and become friend. We have dinner on the day we met and then also the next day lunch. She is an individual consultant for helping people to form company. So we talked for a long time. She believed that nows the structure of a large scale company not working very well. And people do not really want to work in this kind of structure anymore.

Many and many people works as a well connection, and every party is a single unit and works together. She let me think of Cloud 9. Till now, really Cloud 9 is my best performance. So I shall work for my own as I am not good at following others. It is my weakness and not function well. If I can work for myself, it is much functional.

Btw, I found 2 companies I like in Netherlands:
1, Hema
The position is clear, shop near the central stations, traveller as target audiences. We can buy small unit of shampoo, underwear to clothes. They sell bikes also to some simple food. But they manage them well, it is not messy. It is like Netherlands style of Muji. Hema provides almost a total solution to traveller and busy working men. And in a good price, so people is not doubt to purchase.

2, Sissy-boy
I don’t like the name but they have good interior and shopfront design. But I like the style of their products.
