About Me

My name is Hai (means "sea" in Vietnamese, "shark" in both German and Finnish) which is very easy to remember, innit? I love music and arts and I have amazing friends who are sharing the same interests as mine.

You Belong in Amsterdam
A little old fashioned, a little modern - you're the best of both worlds. And so is Amsterdam.
Whether you want to be a squatter graffiti artist or a great novelist, Amsterdam has all that you want in Europe (in one small city).
