Winter is finally here

This is probably the worst time to be in Holland. Its cold, rainy and shorter day-hours. In fact it is still dark by the time I reach office and again dark when going home. Sunrise is at about 8.00am in the morning while sunset at about 4.50pm.

This is also when the public transports are crowded and got really stretched and unreliable. The reasons - Dutch starts to abandoned their bikes. Who wants to cycle in this cold wet weather? It is said that in Amsterdam alone 500,000 people use their bikes daily. Imagine all these people are now using the public transport.
