Madurodam

Whenever I go out to my usual place I think of Madurodam. Madurodam is a park in the Netherlands where they have small displays of buildings, parks and life in Holland. It's like a miniature of everything. That's exactly like my place in town. The people frequenting are young-old, ugly-beautiful, loud-quiet, short-tall, local-foreigner, drunk-sober (although gotty admit on a Friday eve that the former may have majority), men-women, black-white and tonight even a blind and a deaf. They have only one thing in common. They have fun. And that's not a bad thing. Whenever people can enjoy themselves together, it promotes peace in the world. Yes, I know it sounds pretentious but it's true. In business life we should be able to apply this in a better way. Personally I would never hire anybody if I haven't seen them drunk. I think alcohol brings out the way people really are. They get what's called Dutch courage and say what they really think. Why wouldn't you want to know that in business life? Ok, so it may not be said in exactly the right way, but you'd get a whiff of what would be coming. I take my place over any posh bar or place where you have to "behave", i.e. pretend to be somebody else. F... that!
