Amsterdam

Hello friends!

Amsterdam is an interesting city. There is a nice/weird feeling to it. It has the nice atmosphere of a big European city, combined with the side of lust from the red light district and all the 'coffee houses' which are just pot stores. It is funny, because finding an actual coffee place was quite a challenge. I was about to go to Starbucks for just coffee, but we found a regular coffee shop... more to come...

Typical Dutch weather that day.

The Van Gogh museum was awesome! They had a little bit of work from all stages of his life. It is sad to know that he was mentally ill and committed suicide :'( However, he is one of my favorite artists and the museum has an awesome collection! No pictures allowed inside the museum though. Being there reminded me of the my favorite dream of the movie 'Dreams' by Akira Kurosawa.

At the vanGogh musesum :D

I also hung out with my friend Laura, who was in Netherlands with her family for vacation!

Of course, I couldn't miss taking a picture here!

We were at this coffee shop and for some reason the servers were telling some people to leave if they were not gonna buy anything. He then told someone to leave from the window. I was very confused at this point, until it was all revealed. The coffee shop was right next to a brothel, and the girls were on display in the windows. We were at the red light district! haha

Money well spent :D

You get a lot for your money grocery shopping. Look all I got for 26 Euros!
