Anyway, on the way home I was playing with my phone camera. They're probably not very good because they were all taken in motion, and it's really just the view out of a train, but I personally liked that view, so here you go.
This train tried to ruin my picture. I thought that it had, until I uploaded it and realized it wasn't actually a picture of the blurry side of a passing train. I took this picture for the pretty blue flowers...
Oh. Only place I took a picture in A'dam.
Yay, train tracks and a bit of green.
Station Leiden Centraal... I didn't think I got that one either, apparently my phone's camera is faster than I assumed.
A few buildings of The Hague, from a distance.
My stop, Den Haag Centraal.
I'm sad that this picture came out so blurry...
This one too, although that just makes it look really cool.
Den Haag Centraal, forever under construction. It was when I was here in December, too. That says exit. No it doesn't, it says "uitgang," but it means exit.
Pretty painted pillars.
He has Italian ice cream. With whipped cream. And a bicycle. He's on the tram tracks, too.
That very blurry sign says they are searching for a part time worker. Wish I had my Dutch social security number and school schedule already... I wouldn't mind having that job.
Grocery store. I don't think I've been in this one, I think it's pretty small. There's one that is closer and bigger. Might be worth visiting just to see what they have that's different, though.
Tram tunnel through a building.
Tram. They just put new advertisements on some of the trams (though not this one), the entire things are covered. They're very pretty. Usually it's only tram line 1 though, and this one would be either line 9 or 15. Some of the line 1 trams are blue now. I'd like to know how they put on those giant stickers so perfectly... I think I stuck and unstuck the vinyl sticker to my phone a million times before it was straight.
Big Chinese restaurant, which is always packed... So I bet their food is really good. I'd like to go there...
Bike signal and walking signals... Oh, and you see the traffic signal lights are right at the stop rather than across the intersection. You can also see the bike path crossing to the left of the pedestrian crosswalk...
One of the city parking garages, right across the street from my apartment... If you walk behind it on that street right there to the right, you're in Chinatown.
