Hey Ziv,

Nice to hear from you here. My Mandarin is progressing very nicely indeed. Thanks for the offer to answer questions on language. I may take you up on that some time.

Congratulations on the good news I got from Detlev about your victory regarding the old place.

I'll fill you in on how the polyglot meeting goes.

Sim.

Hi Vincent,

Yes, I enjoyed meeting you all very much. Even more inspiration for me to work on my Mandarin.

Hope you had a good trip back to Paris.

Best regards,

Sim.

Dear Vincent, I was just called by my friend Sim, who posted a commment before my last one. He has no Inernet at home, I have no mobile phone. Since the whole area in the center will be extremely busy tomorrow, because of the Uitmarkt, Sim suggested that you post a 06 mobile phone number here, so that we can trace you, even inside Café de Jaren, with Sim's mobile phone. Or else, perhpas you could post a picture here or at my email address, so that we can spot you visullay.

I hope you still read this. Ciao, Hans

Vincent, I just ahd lunch at Café De Jaren today, and I found out that the big table on the first floor can only be reserved for dinners. For other visits no reservations are possible, and the whole first floor is for dinner only after 18.00 hr.

So we'll have to makd do with the ground floor. As I said earlier this weekend the area will be absolutely swamped with people and I hope that the Polyglotters can find each other. Maybe you should hold up a Polyglot sign as in bus tours !!

ciao, a domani

Hi Everyone,

I just mailed Leto with the information I put below, because I wasn't sure how to log on to reply here, but I just worked it out :-).

< extract>

My name is Sim, I'm Chinese, and I live in Amsterdam. I'm a passive member of Polyglot, but I just saw the news about the meeting, so I would like to join (I don't speak any French though).

My email is:

(Do the obvious thing).

Looking forward to meeting everyone else.

Thanks,

Sim.

Dear Vincent,

Why don't you make a reservation for the big table on the first floor.The number is +31206255771. Amsterdam will be extremely busy this weekend, because there is a gigantic theatre festival going on, called the Uitmarkt, the "Out-Market", for which many thousands of visitors from all over Holland will flock to the city.

we'll be there in the bar anyway waiting for you guys.

see you this saturday!!

Comment written by vincent on Aug 24, 2006 @ 17:38

I don't have too much time that day (already 2 parties )) but I'll try to be there for a short while at least.

The cafes website has some, but not much info, it has the trams one would be best to take. The map isn't really useful )

For people that know Amsterdam but not De Jaren, go from Dam Square to Munt square, right before Munt square to your left you'll see Hotel l'Europe, walk that way and you'll find De Jaren closeby.

ok, that's great I agree to all meet there : I am updating the meeting main topic right now.

See you this SATURDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment written by vincent on Aug 24, 2006 @ 16:09

Dear Vincent,

Why not meet in the famous Café De Jaren, Doelenstraat 71 Amsterdam? Not far from Dam square

It is a really international place,  they have newspapers and magazines in 8 different languages, two floors, and two outdoor terraces. I would like to join the meeting, but I am not sure I can be back from Utrecht in time.

best regards, Hans

Hello polyglot, it's great idea, I'll be here with Vince and two other friends.

I think too that Dam square, next to national monument, is perfect to meet, after we can go to a place chosen by  Lediane, by this way we'll walk few minutes in this gorgeous city :-)

See you -)

Hi Lediane & Leto_Atreides,

Thanks for your answers !!

Leto_Atreides, do you know the address of 'the Dam Square' ? Is it a bar ?

Are you ok for this saturday 9:00 pm ? for me it's fine as i don't know Amsterdam :-)

What do you think Lediane, are you thinking of a better place ?

See you!!

vince

Hi there Frenchmen,

I am from a town near Amsterdam and I would love to meet, the easiest place where we could meet would be 'the Dam square'.
