This post is super outdated. been almost 2 mths since i came back from amsterdam. bits by bits i managed to finish this post in like 2 weeks.whaha.
Since it's a new station, i have to blog abt it b4 i can't even remember how the place looks like.
Central station
Eh i think this is Dam's square where we met for the free walking tour. u can give any amt of TIPs at the end of the tour.
Can check out this website if u r goin europe cos they provide free walking tours for london, paris n more.
a group photo taken from their website.
Royal palace
the houses are leaning towards each other.
Noticed the hooks on top of the houses? They are used for moving furnitures into the houses through the windows. most of the houses have narrow and winding stairway that is almost impossible to move any furniture up the stairs.
The city is significantly gridded with canals
A sneak preview of the red light districts.
Interestingly, most of the prositutes are very big sized.haha. n they have their own glass window with a pretty little room. if the curtains are drawn, u know they r havin business in there.
The jewish quarters.
Check this out!! along e red light district area.
Stopped by for some really succulent mushrooms.yummy.
Apparently this dark house has some history which i cant remember after 2 months.whaha
The high end shopping that looks a bit like harrods london.
Spot the red house in between. That's the narrowest house in amsterdam.interesting uh?
The last stop of the tour was Anne Frank House. Really amazed by how they hide the house up and survived there for quite some time. Being a Jew in the ancient times is really very tough. Poor thing.
Leaving Anne Frank hse with heavy downpour.
yeap rump steak for dinner.
Next day was a day tour to Zaanse Schans and Edam town.
Holland clogs!
The mills of holland
My gigantic clogs
Town of Edam
e Residents are very supportive of their culture. 2 old wooden clogs at the doorsteps. so cute.
Pretty little edam town.
My story telling pics
Nice little town by the sea
Very fresh fish for lunch.
My last stop was the sex museum.
That's really how the glass window along red light looks like..but without the guy of cos.
Ha, that's pretty much how they look like inside the glass panels.
Have u seen anything longer and bigger than this???
An ancient Japanese painting. Quite scary.
Opps..
Entrance of the museum.
