• Amsterdam, the Netherlands
• Dublin, Ireland
• Copenhagen, Denmark
• San José, Costa Rica
• Managua, Nicaragua
• Granada, Nicaragua

One or more nights in each place, except Monaco and Hannover, where I was for half a day each. Some places I visited several times, e.g. Oslo (Opera HQ) and Utrecht (home).

chaals, if you happen to read this, I encourage you to compile such a list as well, I’m curious :-)

1. Looks like some neat trips. And that we had some destinations in common (obviously, I liked the idea of a quick retrospective too). Nice.

4. Could have been a wonderful list, but sadly enough Tilburg is not on it ;-)

   Best wishes for 2009!

5. I'm missing the Hague!

   And if you had visited the Hague now and then you could've added Brussels to the list as well (Q-uitje)

6. Ah, I actually went to Brussels as well, forgot about that. But I would have loved to go with you guys! Definitely need to show up in the Hague this year then :-)

7. Why do you hate the environment so much? ;)

   (or maybe you walked between cities?)
