Super expensive eating and not much on your plate??? Well, than you really should go to this Argentenian grillrestaurant at the Nieuwendijk in Amsterdam.
Rico and I Had dinner there when we were on our way to my parents when we visited the Apenheul. We passed by and noticed 2 restaurants near eachother. I wanted to take a look at the one wich was having some shields on the street, so I turned around to tell Rico. The waiter of Gringo who was standing outside heard me talk German and immediately guided us into his restaurant before I got the chance to take a look at the other one ( later we realized there were only tourists in the restaurant).
When we got the menus I found out you need to order every single course. If you order a meat dish, there’s no salat with it and no french fries, there’s even no sauce!! But we were so tired and wanted to continue our way to my parents ASAP, so we decided to have dinner anyway. 
So I ordered some kind of grilled beef stake with french fries, it sounded great, so I had high expectations. Boy was I disappointed… I got 2 very small stakes and the fries were terrible as well. Rico ordered some kind of lamb square with french fries. Well, lamb sqaure, he got 4 small lamb chops. Well, at the end I had to pay for 2 very small dishs of french fries, beef stakes, lamb chops, 1 small beer, 2 medium beers €49.00. And it didn’t even taste that great!!
And last but not least Rico got problems with his stomach when we returned at my parents place…

A quick note before we will leave for Amsterdam to go out. I decided to light candles for all victims of the war with Iraq.
I burn candles downstairs, as soon as I come home from work every night. When I go online with my cam, I will burn 3 candles as well for the victims. So my head will no longer be seen on my webcam.
Every time when I light the candles I will think of all victims of this terrible war.
Today a demonstration against the war was planned in Amsterdam. I really wanted to go, but I had to work. I wasn”t able to get a day off. Manuela, my sis, did go. On the news I heard about 20,000 people showed up. At first everything was quite. But when the demonstration was at the “Museumplein”, where the American embassy is located, some people started to throw rocks to the police. Why did they do that? it was a demonstration against war, against violence, and now some people behaved very violently.
