The Dutch Social Party leader, visited Amsterdam on Friday 28th as a preparation for SP campaign of cleaning the Dutch politics.
Roemer has brought with him a happy players and actors and gathered some crowd while preaching his main political aims.
Eventually Remer pulled his sleeves, took the tie and suite off and actually cleaned a little part of the street engraving his party's name in the clean pavement.
Between the city municipalities and the cleaning services and their arguments the city was left with is trash uncollected. It is mostly the case, by the way that the taxpayers get to pay the price. Whether the struggle is justified or not, regardless if it could be handled other ways, it is the taxpayer that sees the walls of no hope erected in front of him/ her.
Amsterdam NL , May 4th 2010 national memorial ceremony turned into massive hysteria. Hundreds of people were running away in panic due to the action of two men, disrupting the ceremony.
On May 4th, many Dutch people are participating at the national ceremony for the WWII victims at the Dam Square. The Queen and other VIPs are participating at this traditional ceremony. We, the foreigners are showing our respect by participating as well.
This year, instead of the two minutes silence and still standing we have witnessed an unbelievable event of panic. It was just seconds before the siren went off when we clearly heard people screaming within the crowd. A second latter, few other people joined screaming and then a little blast was heard. That was the spark that ignited a massive panic reaction from the crowd. Hundreds of people turned away from the Dam square and started running terrified towards the central station direction. No one had a clue what happened but the human wave was the most threatening event most of them ever witnessed.

Bali is an Indonesian island on the western end of the Lesser Sunda Islands. Its capital is the city of Denpasar in the south. Visitors tend to flock to Kuta, Sanur, and Jimbaran, all southern coastal towns, but the central town of Ubud and other parts of Bali are equally compelling. Gleaming white and black sand beaches ring the island's shores, lapped gently by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Rich coral reefs surround the island and allow for superb snorkeling and diving. The island rises in mountains toward its interior, and bursts with tropical flowers and trees. Bali's rainforests are home to hundreds of species of rare birds as well as monkeys, bats, wild cats, and other creatures.
