Back to Memory Lane

Finally we reached our destination. Assen is just over 2 hours drive from The Hague. We used to live here in 1996 till 1999 in a nice neighbourhood called Maarsdijk. The street name is called Volmachtendreef. This is our first trip back since then – nearly after 8 years!

Assen has hardly changed except for some works on widening the ring road. Our former house (photo) seems to a bit run-down, heard that most of these rental houses are up for sale. One thing we really missed about Assen is the hopelessly delicious spare ribs. The restaurant is still operating after all these years and sure enough this was our opportunity to take some to take back. There is a Bruneian family in Assen – they graciously hosted us and shared their Spanish holiday experience. My mind is already working overtime on this one!
