It had been more than two years since I last stepped foot in the squat boat restaurant known as the Einde van de Wereld. The what? Yup, most people haven't heard of it, or rather, many people don't believe it exists or just plain don't get the ecclectic atmosphere.

But indeed despite the time that has passed, the boat is still firmly entrenched in its parking space, right where Javaeiland meets KNSM eiland. Right where one can sit on the deck to enjoy a vegetarian meal and watch the sun set over central station and the Ij. Or maybe sitting below deck with the majority of the community, amongst the chatter and the live music, is more your thing.

Happy to be back, I stepped right up to the counter and ordered my warm meal, paying the lady 6 euros and stepping to the side to order my drink from the drink man. After enjoying the music and the meal with a friend, I returned to that counter for some mangos and ice cream... an excellent topper for a delicious and healthy meal.

If you can find it, and you're curious enough, the End of the World is right there waiting. Careful what day it is, as the End of the World only serves dinner on Wednesday and Friday starting at 6pm. And once all the food is gone, it is done. Which is a translation of the Dutch phrase "op is op."
