Last week, I spoke on “Bytes and Minds: Navigating Mental Health in the Tech World” at WordCamp Netherlands 2023. Big thanks to Roan de Vries for capturing these moments.

Amsterdam
I had an awesome time in Amsterdam after WordCamp Europe with Ivelina and some of the other WordPress geeks. We went to Brouwerij”t ij, a small micro brewery with great beers and went out for dinner in a really awesome Chinese place. I didn’t think Europe had any good Chinese restaurants, but it turns out I was wrong 🙂
I stole this from Ivelina when it popped up in my Facebook feed 8 years later. -
Leiden Air BNB
I had my first experience of AirBNB in Leiden in the Netherlands. It was a really nice place at a good price and with a terrific view. I forsee some more AirBNB’ing in my future 🙂

Space cake and Shisha pipe in Amsterdam
Ivelina and I went to a Shisha pipe place in Amsterdam. It’s not really my kind of thing. I mostly spluttered and coughed. Ivelina clearly enjoys it a whole lot more than me though 😉
Space cake apparently makes it even more enjoyable 🙂 That’s also not my kind of thing though.

Vicki and I used Amsterdam as our base for moving around Europe. They have lots of canals … lots of canals.

Vicki and Ryan’s great adventure
For those of you who aren’t aware, Vicki Agyle and I have recently returned from a whirlwind tour of Hong Kong, Israel, England, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and Japan.
Despite everyone’s insistence that we would be blown up the moment we reached Tel Aviv, we ‘braved’ it anyway to make our way to the ICCC38 (International Coordination Chemistry Conference 38) in Jerusalem.
Hong Kong
The heat walking off the plane was extreme. We quickly noticed that there was no air conditioning in the airport, so we headed outside to enjoy the sunny weather … except it turned out that there was air conditioning in the airport afterall! The heat and humidity outside was incredible. Our attempts to take photos of the scenery failed, as the lenses fogged up immediately due to the extreme humidity.
The only reasonable photos I managed to take were from inside the terminal. Below is my first real attempt at creating a 3D parallel view image. If you look through the page and merge the two images into one, you will see the view in 3D. Don’t go straining your eyes too hard though :p
Amsterdam
Our trip to Hong Kong was short and sharp, just a brief stopover before heading to Amsterdam for what was supposed to be another short visit in transit. Except it turns out we got confused and in fact had a day and a half there, so had to quickly arrange accomodation! The photo below is another 3D image, this time of a random Amsterdam canal (they have lots of them). More photos of the Netherlands will be coming later as we went back there for a proper visit later on.
