Trip to Kunsthal Rotterdam

I woke up around 6 am and did my daily routine quickly. Jan, Janine, and I left our house at 9:15 am. We visited the Kunsthal Rotterdam. When we arrived at the car park in the basement, we saw smoke coming from a Toyota. It looked like there was a cooling water problem with the radiator. Anyway, we watched the exhibition Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses. It was impressive and worth seeing. There were also works by Japanese artists, such as the art collective Me (目). Jan bought two two-liter bottles of orange-flavored water and poured them into the radiator. I do not know why he bought such a drink, but he said, “Because I love orange.” I could not help laughing. Eventually, we made it back home without any problems. Later, I visited the bar My Way. I stopped by a supermarket and bought flowers and a one-liter bottle of orange juice. I gave them to the landlord couple and said, “These flowers are for the funeral of your Toyota.” They laughed a lot. Then I added, “This orange juice is gasoline for you.” We all burst out laughing. For dinner, I had stamppot and leftover simmered tomato pork (I ate it three days in a row). I went to bed around 11:30 pm.
