Spots: Jazz under the bridge at Brug9
While cycling on the Singel one evening, I spotted a cute little door just beneath the Torensluis bridge. It was almost like an Alice in Wonderland scene. Having lived in Amsterdam for a pretty long time, I had never spotted this door before. While thinking this, the little door opened and when someone stepped out some jazzy tunes escaped from the mysterious space underneath the bridge too. After doing some research I discovered that Brug9, as I found out it is called, was once a prison but now organizes various events including bi-monthly live jazz performances. (..more)
Old-skool Streetstyle Memory Game
As a kid I LOVED playing Memory, the game where you have to flip and find matching cards. Remember that? I haven’t played memory in a very, very long time, but that’s about to change! Streetlab Amsterdam is combining my old love (memory game) with my new love (photography) and is organizing a 'Streetstyle Memory Game'. (..more)

Where Berlin meets Amsterdam, Where Bar 25 meets Bar 27
Berlin is a city I love, partly because it's so similar to Amsterdam. It's a city filled with free-minded creative young people, interested in music, art and parties. Young people with the energy to work all day and party all night. One of the activities on my to-do list when I visit Berlin is of course Bar 25, one of the most infamous after-clubs in Berlin. In addition to being a bar, Bar 25 has an amphitheatre, budget bungalows, a restaurant, a garden and a club with awesome minimal parties. (..more)
