“Whenever I’ve got a day off, I tend to treat myself on walks through my neighborhood, the historical centre of Amsterdam. I usually start with a croissant at a Zeedijk bakery, followed by a coffee at cafe Betty’s Blue and when there’s still time left: a new edition of something at Atheneaeum, an authority on print mags. I often cross the Spui, a busy and quite touristy square. Every so often, there are book and art fairs, and.. this street organ! Although Dutch organists often play old-fashioned songs I don’t really like, the sound does make me feel at home immediately. I never thought I’d be the one to picture this Dutch phenomenon, but when I saw tourists swarming around today, I decided to join them and snap a photo, too. Not an ordinary one, of course, but one that made me look more closely to something I’ve known for 23 years.” (Yuki from Amsterdam, the Netherlands)
