Hi Pia, I’m so enjoying your blog! I’m Australian and looking at moving to Holland. Your photos are so amazing, it inspires me further. Thanks so much

Loved your reflection on “a year in Amsterdam…”
Your comment on the weather makes perfect sense to me.. I am Dutch, but a true gypsy at heart and have moved around the globe until I met my husband in Los Angeles.
Although Los Angeles is not where my heart lies, I admit that I love the weather…

It made me smile that you have some Indonesian blood in you… like many Dutchies, so do I.

Should you plan on coming to LA, drop me a line.
We can have koffie and I will make you fried rice.

All the best,

Dutch gypsy from LA

I just love the last comment… I laughed out loud! You appreciate everything you get out of life… and that is why you are always such a great read! A-M xx

I envy you so much. Amsterdam is the city where my heart lies and through the commitment of a very needy child and a partner with a job he adores I cant live the life I would want to..
That is why I visit your blog and love to hear of all the little dutch things you experience, and see photos of the shops, canals and houses.. Maybe one day I shall live where I feel truely at home.

pia, you crack me up! if it helps, i know what you mean. when i was living in japan, people always thought i spoke japanese. however, while i was there, my spanish improved tremendously because i hung out with my japanese-argentinean aunt. ah well, it makes life more interesting, right?

J’adore toute les choses “PIA”, it is amazing to think how life changes, circumstances have you saying things like I live on a boat on the canal with a french boy…no sand to be found…

i am glad because i feel like i am reading a book called ” les aventure de pia” l’histoire d’une fille qui vie une vie pleine…

I don’t have a real excuse for you not learning dutch but I have a friend who lives in the german part of Switzerland and her excuse is that ‘I know I won’t stay here long’ but I often remind her that it’s been more than 5 years that she lives there

That must be funny having people pronouncing your name better than you, that must even be a bit weird !
