Weekend in Amsterdam
Last weekend I got to spend in Amsterdam. It was my first time going to Holland and I was absolutely amazed by its beautiful small capital city. The weather was pretty cold, but gluhwein, waffles, oliebals and music on the streets of Amsterdam made up for it. Can you imagine - there are 600,000 bicycles in that city! They say the bottom of the canals is covered with old bicycles - the canals are about three meters deep and one meter of it is bicycle junk, so there is a boat that goes along the canals once in a while and picks the junk up from the bottom. I was deeply impressed by visiting Anne Frank's house - "there is no future without remembering". Food and the whole Christmas vibe made me feel festive and the coffee shops of course.. Here are some pictures
