Misc

Was talking to SC, a tax manager that I coordinate with. Was telling him, going forward another person from my team will be dealing with him for tax issues as i'm leaving for amsterdam. SC said stay out of those coffee shops and red light district. Thought he was joking- ish, cuz a lot of people have told me to have fun but stay out of trouble :), so i said, well, that's kinda hard for me todo, because i'm chinese and i'll be around chinatown all the time (to do my nails, hair, get food etc), and red light district is right next to c-town. He said, seriously, be careful, red light district has its getto part (i'm sure, it's red light district after all). and he continued saying that he lived in Europe (london) for half year, and travelled more than 15 countries and never had any problems except amsterdam. I said what happened. He said he had a knife pulled against him. got scared now~ hopefully i'm lucky enough to be back in one piece :) or, hopefully people in the robbery industry in amsterdam have rules like - don't harm chinese girls...
