Windmills. Tulips. Wooden clogs with pointed tips. Folk costume.... These are the symbols of Netherlands (or Holland) - an Europe country that I yet set foot on, though I've been to this part of the world for almost 1o times. The beautiful images of the country was the backdrop of the Hongkong drama (僵). Of course, I'm not there to seek exciting encounters withe the vampires, but the beautiful landscape that also comes with the architecture (both old and new).

Day 6 (Sun 20170611) Tropenmuseum

Website: https://tropenmuseum.nl/en

It is a huge building; however, only one block is delegated as a museum. 


The highlight of the exhibition was "Body Art".
Interesting... it's not limited to the modern tattoo, but also those related to tribes and culture.
Tattoo is not limited to just adding a coat of design, but could be 3-dimensional, too - be it rings/ studs on the body or equivalent being embedded under the skin.



The other exhibition is on photography - to see the lives of the war-torn Aleppo through lenses of photographers.
