Market Square in Maastricht

Friday, June 2, 2006

Tess and I went to Maastricht Market Square yesterday around 5pm. We went window shopping. There were many things to see. My feet were aching. We ended the stroll at a supermarket, bought food and went straight to the bus station. We waited long for the right bus to come until 10pm. Unforgettable was the experience of waiting under a cold weather and talking to a drunken man. I think Dutch people have policies that it’s necessary to be nice with drunken man to avoid any further conflicts. Tess did the same way. She entertained him, despite the chill of the weather. Of course, both of us were frightened until saved by the coming of the bus. We took the right bus though but it had a longer route compared to the bus we should have taken. Yet, it was better than be left there with the man.

At last firemen have put out a big forest fire in California. Since then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began. Forest fires are often caused by broken glass or by cigarette ends which people carelessly throw away. Yesterday the firemen examined the ground carefully, but were not able to find any broken glass. They were also quite sure that a cigarette end did not start the fire. This morning, however, a firemen accidentally discovered the cause. He noticed the remains of a snake which was wound round the electric wires of a 16,000-volt power line. In this way, he was able to solve the mystery. The explanation was simple but very unusual. A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then dropped it on to the wires. The snake then wound itself round the wires. When it did so, it sent sparks down to the ground and these immediately started a fire.
