NDSM - North Amsterdam Hi all,
there's a huge - and very cheap- flea market on Sunday the 13th at NDSM. The date was changed because of a big festival... so it wasn't on today as I thought it would be but it was nice to see the people from la Casa come over and have a nice hot drink in the greenhouse ;)
I found a more reliable website about the event:

NB: it says you have to pay 3,50 and I won't be there to let you in for free but you just have to say that you work in one of the studios at NDSM and it should do the trick!

how to take the ferry
all the details about the ferry can be found here:

from the Casa, the easiest is to take the ferry from Tasmanstraat (Houthaven), but be careful, there are 2 ferries going from there so be sure you take the one that leaves from the left side,route called "Houthaven" (the purple one). (Martina and Ineke know the way!)
It takes about 5 min to get to the other side of the river and NDSM is a 3min walk away from there.
no more fleas
We have enough fleas in the house. Maybe we can start a flea market ourselves, see if we can sell some second hand fleas.
UPDATE!
Hi guys,
due to a big festival that was on yesterday the flea market won't be in the building where I live but a couple minutes away from here. Hence, we'll probably have to pay 3,50€ to get some more fleas... but according to Rosa (my housemate), it is really worth it. The stuff is ultra cheap there.
