got a postcard today from poach in amsterdam. (thanks woman!) poach went to the rijksmuseum and viewed the works of the old dutch masters and sent a postcard of rembrandt's night watch, which i was reading about a while back in my amsterdam museum books. poach called amsterdam "a city after your heart" - describing wide-windowed apartment buildings lining the canals, behind which windows rooms walled with bookshelves. i wonder if i could marry a dutchman, learn dutch and be a tai-tai in amsterdam.
