Roermond? What kind of name is that?

From Roermond, Netherlands, March 2009

So I love to travel and I love to eat. So few weeks ago I was in Roermond to walk around to see the place. Roermond is a small city in the Netherlands easily accessible by the NS Trains. Its near Limburg, which is the South of Holland, so its takes more than one hour from Amsterdam. But it is famous for the Factory Outlet Stores, which sells old seasoned or defective clothes at a really cheap prices, once I bought a Roxy bag there for only 20EUR, and naturally all the skin started peeling off after one month! Still, if you search further you can probably find a good deal!

And I had lunch at a very nice fish restaurant called Vis Restaurant (Fish Restaurant) – how unimaginative! Anyway, they proclaimed to be “Restaurant ‘t Lekkerste Veske Van Limburg” which translates to the Restaurant with the best fish in Limburg. And I would say… very much so! I had the Victorian Perch which came with a tiny crayfish and to-die-for fish sauce. I thought it was really nice, and not that expensive – costed under 20EUR. Although my mom started complaining about the prices after that, but hey, I earn in EUROs now, not Singapore dollar.
