AMSTERDAM I have to say first. I did not take any drugs in Amsterdam. Nothing. Zero. Nada. :) Amsterdam is not as seedy as it sounds, it was really an eye-opener though, especially to walk along the red light district just when the sky was getting dark. In fact, as early as 5pm, u can start seeing workers parading their wares in the windows. We overheard a conversation that goes something like this
Worker: Hi, darling... (to randon business suit-clad stranger), how bout some fun tonight.
Man: No, I can't. I'm tired from work. Worker:
You don't have to do anything...
Hahah, no idea about that outcomes of that conversation though. :) Besides the sex and drugs, I actually really like walking along the canals of Amsterdam. In fact, I think I like Amsterdam more than Venice. It just seems much more romantic somehow. Dunno why.
Accomplished a lot during this trip. Went to Keukenhof Gardens, which is one of my main purposes of coming to Amsterdam, because of the annual flower show. Imagine rows after rows after rows of tulips. I was smitten! And very much in Love with tulips! About half my photos are of flowers!! Also went to an excursion to the outskirts, to the cheese farm and the wooden clog farm, and to the Delft Blue pottery factory, and to The Hague, and Madurodam (also known as Little Netherlands!) Loads done!! Had loads of fun too!! Especially with my 2 travel buddies, Etty and Felicity! :) Thanks for the wacking, and sillyness (and cantonese) throughout this trip.
