AUTUMN AT

De Poort!

Time flies. Even though it feels like 2016 has only just begun, summer is already over. How did that happen? We hope you had a fantastic summer! It’s now time to get ready for a great autumn and even start fantasizing about the holidays a little ....It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Autumn means colder days and MORE clothes. Time to go shopping! Not that we need an excuse to go shopping, of course. We have packed all the autumn fashion trends into this issue so use this information to your advantage and style up for autumn. This issue includes the latest trends for men, women and children.

There’s also an interview with the one and only Jandino. Or are you more familiar with Judeska? Both will put a smile on your face this autumn. And for a little extra colour this autumn, visit the Shopperhal. Another bonus is that it’s indoors, so it’s always nice and warm.

We asked visitors of De Poort: ‘What will keep you feeling warm and fuzzy this autumn?’

Read all about it in the Spotted column. Before you know it YOU will be spotted yourself and given €50 to go high speed shopping in 15 minutes. It happened to Helen and she is probably still pinching herself!

Happy reading and enjoy this autumn issue of More? Magazine. Get inspired, shop till you drop at all the great specialty shops, large retail chains and the delightful little eateries that Amsterdamse Poort has to offer.

Before you know it....it will be summer again!

INTERVIEW

35-year-old Jandino Asporaat has an infectious smile that sends everyone around him into fits of laughter. This young man sees his life as one big hobby. He has various comedy shows on TV and regularly appears in theatre productions so by know the whole country knows him, and if they don’t know Jandino, they most certainly know Judeska!

JANDINO ASPORAAT

“PERFORMING IN AMSTERDAM BIJLMER IS SO MUCH MORE FUN THAN AT CARRÉ” 4

TEXT: KIKI DRÖGE IMAGE: WILLIAM RUTTEN & MARTIKA DE SANDERS

Work Jandino was born in Willemstad, Curaçao. In the early nineties, his family moved to Rotterdam. After graduation, Jandino briefly worked as a painter, but soon quit to focus all of his time and energy on stand-up comedy. He always knew he would someday be a star. He could feel it in his bones. “I used to work as a painter and in construction. I enjoyed that too. Just like being an interior decorator seems like fun. I also enjoy working behind the scenes, as I’m not the kind of person who has to be in the spotlight all the time. I am happy to be working and always want to make the best of every situation. I try to encourage others to do the same.”

Bijlmer Parktheater Performing at Bijlmer Parktheater is much more fun than performing at Carré says Jandino. “People dare to laugh much louder here, the room usually just explodes. The atmosphere is much more informal than at other theatres. The audience is so energetic and cheerful. I think it’s important that everyone feels represented in theatre. I am happy to contribute to this.”

Motivational Speeches Jandino comes from a poor family. While his mother held down three jobs, he grew up in a little hut his aunt and uncle constructed. He lived in poverty, but never felt poor. “I played all day, there were no pressures, I had no worries. I feel like I had a rich childhood.” Now he wants to help other children, which is why he sometimes gives motivational speeches. “I come from a broken home, a poor home, and I am not highly educated. You could say that I was almost doomed to fail. But I didn’t! I have learned so many valuable life lessons that have given me a better understanding of what life can also be like. That is a gift and it enriches you as a human being. I really want to share this knowledge with children in Amsterdam Bijlmer and elsewhere. If I can do it, so can you! Everyone is special in their own way. It doesn’t matter where you’re from.”

Relax Jandino does not really have time to relax at the moment. For the time being, his two new theatre shows, his TV shows and a ginormously amazing show at De Kuip in Rotterdam keep him plenty busy. When his shows end he plans to slow down a little. “I have not had a break in fifteen years. It’s a little scary, having an empty schedule. But I’m also looking forward to it. Spend some time with my family and sit around watching cartoons on TV for hours on end. I don’t really have any other hobbies. My life is one giant hobby.”

One of Jandino’s most talked about and hilarious characters is back and will have everyone rolling on the floor laughing their heads off. In this production Judeska is hilariously rude, does not mince her words and has only one goal: protecting her family, one way or another.

When she finds out her sister may lose her hotel due to serious financial problems, someone in the family has come to her rescue. Leave it to Judeska to show up and make things worse than they already were. It takes only one phone call to get everyone in your family together, but you can spend a lifetime trying to get rid of them.

Keep a close eye on the Bijlmer Parktheater website for more information on when you can see Jandino and Judeska live. www.bijlmerparktheater.nl

FOOD & DRINKS

Where do you go for lunch?

TIME TO MAKE A PIT STOP! WHETHER YOU ARE OUT SHOPPING OR HARD AT WORK, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU EAT WELL. THIS WILL HELP YOU GET THROUGH THE DAY WITH PLENTY OF ENERGY. ENJOY!

GROUP OF GRAYDON COLLEAGUES Popping outside for some fresh air and a bite to eat. “Dagelijks Lekker is cheap, good, fast and easy. The service is good too. Rolls, soup and drinks for just €1.80. Yummy!”

MIRTHE & BOB Not just colleagues, but a couple too. Today they are both working at the same location. An opportunity to have lunch together. Neither of them usually has time for lunch, so they often eat something at their desk.

But today they decided to treat themselves to Dagelijks Lekker.

12

RENAI & ROB Renai and Rob work for the same company and often have lunch at De Poort. Today they decided to go to Deli Company instead.

“Judging by the length of the queue, they probably sell lots of delicious things here.”

On other days they get lunch from one of the supermarkets.

MATTHIJS Matthijs tries to eat a healthy lunch every day. A good place to go is Urban Salad.

All their ingredients are fresh and food is prepared on the spot. He brings lunch to work on other days.

GROUP OF ING COLLEAGUES They enjoy a nice lunch out of the office about twice a week. They prefer to go to butcher Meester.

“They sell really tasty rolls here.

When we’re in the mood for fast food, we go to Febo, Dominos or get a Turkish ‘Kapsalon’ with döner meat and fries.”

SHOPPING

IT’S HIGH SPEED SHOPPING TIME! YES, IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN! HIGH SPEED SHOPPING. WE GIVE YOU €50 EUROS TO SPEND IN UNDER 15 MINUTES IN AT LEAST THREE SHOPS THAT YOU GET TO PICK. HOW COOL IS THAT! TODAY, HELEN IS THE LUCKY ONE. ON YOUR MARKS...GET SET.... GO! 22

Hang on, Helen has to pinch herself first, she can’t believe this is really happening to her. “You read about this sort of thing all the time, but you always think it won’t happen to you... But here we are. OMG!” Helen’s a mum and a healthcare professional. She frequently has mornings and afternoons off because she also works evening and night shifts. She doesn’t shop for herself very often. Now she can finally treat herself. She spends a lot of time at De Poort because she has been living around the corner from the shopping centre for fifteen years. She knows the shops like the back of her hand.

We start at H&M. Helen is lucky because there’s a sale on.

A chance to do some bargain hunting. She scores two brightly coloured cardigans and a t-shirt for her little niece (see, she just can’t help herself, shopping for others again!).

She spends € 18,00 at H&M. She quickly heads to NEW YORKER. There is so much to choose from there, that Helen almost loses track of the time.

Then she sees a pair or earrings and starts grinning from ear to ear. It’s a no-brainer, she has to buy them! They are only € 7,00.

KRUIDVAT is our final stop. Helen finds some perfume that smells delicious, for € 25,00. What a treat. She has managed to spend her € 50,00 in the allotted time. Good job!

When it’s all over Helen is still shaking: ‘I am still having trouble believing this really happened to me!” So you see, a lot can happen at Amsterdamse Poort! Who knows, you might be next!
