Clog Factory

It was indeed an experience to visit a clog factory in Amsterdam.

Tourists love to take picture of this large yellow clog in front of the factory.

    it's almost a ritual, isn't it - a trip to amsterdam is never complete without a visit to a clog factory or a picture taken with a windmill?

    Are the big clogs mostly yellow? I took a photo of a friend when we were there, and I just remembered that it was also yellow. Maybe it's the same clog!

    What a lovely post...and nice photos...reminds me of the old Char Kiat of the Nyonyas...I used to wear them (not the wooden clogs) although a pair of wooden Scholls lasted me for ages...Great memories.

We went for breakfast one day and I was fascinated by those angry birds balloon. They were so colorful and kids would definitely love them.. angry birds balloons..lelong..lelong.. @@@ In Angry Birds , players control a flock of multi-colored birds that are attempting to retrieve eggs that have been taken by a group of evil green pigs. On each level, the pigs are sheltered by structures made of various materials such as wood, ice and stone, and the objective of the game is to eliminate all the pigs in the level. Using a slingshot, players launch the birds with the intent of either hitting the pigs directly or damaging the structures, causing them to collapse and kill the pigs. In various stages of the game, additional objects such as explosive crates and rocks are found in the structures, and may be used in conjunction with the birds to destroy hard-to-reach pigs. source
