OBA – Public library

"OBA", the public library in Amsterdam's Oosterdok, has all the usual books to borrow, but I like going to the basement & reading a newspaper in the quiet.

About me

About me
Felix, 'El Bajo Feliz', born in the beautiful Black Forest, Germany, moved to Amsterdam in 2000. I make my living as a bass player and love to function in different styles of music. I usually compare them to different languages or dialects and I'm always eager to find out what the clue to each such language is. It's the same eagerness that makes a traveller want to understand the local habits. So yes, I love travelling, too :)! And the best is the combination of both passions!

Why Amsterdam
The population of Amsterdam consists of 180 different nationalities, and that with a mere 800,000 inhabitants. I love diversity and I love cities that still breathe a relaxed atmosphere in spite of their vibrating activity. Cycling from A to B, especially at night, makes me happy. That's what makes A-dam a good place for me :).
