Sorry for the late reply. I had a tough week settling back to the Netherlands—jetlag, climate difference, etc. well, the kids woke up at 4 and 6 am for the first few days didn’t help…
I work in Amsterdam and I usually go there on Mon, Wed, and Thu. Sometimes on Fri instead of Thu, depends on my work calendar.
This week I only went there yesterday because last minute cancelled trip to Rotterdam. So I didn’t email you about that.
Let me know when you would go to Amsterdam and we can meet there. I work at Waag Futurelab at Nieuwmarkt, so pretty central.
Take care,
Z

Z從攝氏20度的廣州回到飄雪的荷蘭，身體仍在重新適應氣候。那本書被塞在隨身行李中掛曆袋的夾層裡；她返家四天，行李尚未完全整理完畢；不過她已開始閱讀第五期《『目錄』》——寄件者贈予的額外副本
Z comes back to snowing Netherlands from 20-degree Guangzhou, and her body is still re-adapting to the climate; the book was carried in the bag of the hanging calendar in her hand luggage; she’s been back for four days and her luggage is not yet fully unpacked, but she has started reading the Distribute Display 『CATALOGUE』NO. 5, an extra copy which is a gift from SENDER
