Amsterdam, Amsterdam.

Its a place where i assure you would get to see (or even do, hay~ ;) ) things you'd never see (or do) anywhere else.

there was red light district. where we saw red curtained windows with exhibitions inside that would make you blush. where we experience being chased by a pros who speaks malay. and where we entered countless shops selling souvenirs with unimaginable shapes and sizes, cannabis cookies and even canna lollipop!

there was the dam square where the atmosphere is so lively and happy. it so happens that when we got there, there was a fun fair on the squre. the sweet smell of oversized cotton candy filled the air and the colourful lights at night with happy faces of children and lovers just makes you smile even after a tiring day strolling in the art museum. the more normal looking sovenirs sold here too, was a big plus point ;)

which brings me to the next point, the art museums. theres loads of artsy fartsy stuff in amsterdam. they have van gogh museum, rijksmuseum, monuments and a couple of photography museums. Though is was good fun at the first few paintings that we saw, how the interpret them and the meaning behind each stroke, trust me if you're not a big art lover, after a dozen of paintings, your feet will start to ache, head spins and you'd rather sit on the bench by the canal and watch as the people passes you by, mostly using bicycles :)

Holland is a beutiful and unique country to visit. In spring especially, the sea of blooming tulips would just take your breath away. Well as for me, maybe the people i go to Amsterdam with, is what makes the trip even more special an enjoyable. ;) thank you guys!

When I was small (standard 2), I mistakenly watched porn on local (Amsterdam) TV. I thought it was a "wrestling match", except everyone was naked.

fou. yep. i know its legal. everywhere you turn, you'd find sex-something sold/displayed and policemen strolled the area dgn sng hati. but i xtau pulak they have it on national telly. kira budak2 kecik2 exposed to this dari kecik la. thts what i find amusing/shocking.

and yep. we did find cannabis cookies and chocs, tapi xbeli takut xlepas security kar airport. hehehe.

haririy! i know! lighting die cantik kan. :) sayang i guna camera phone je :|
