Amsterdam - A place like no other






A train in the morning to Amsterdam. A tour by the channels with a tourist boat for the first hour, was not that special, just crowded and hot. Checked 2 or the worlds most famous artists. Van Gogh museum and Rembrandts home. The Gogh museum had around 200 of his original paintings and was pretty impressive (not that i know anything about art...)
The rembrandts house was really cool, apart from paintings there was a room full of his treasures which consisted of old weapons, armors, roman statues, huge snake skins and other animal relics...

Then comes the red light district...streets are covered in sex shops and small rooms with women inside waiting for clients... Negotiating price with them is more or less 50 euro suck and fuck. Didn't manage to take any pics, they don't really like cameras there...

Drugs are legal too, a lot of shops here sell magic mushrooms, cannabis seeds, cannabis and all other sort of stuff that makes you high and whacky. I bought a drink of Cannabis Ice Tea but the effects were pretty...limited. The ice tea only contained 0,01% THC.

Also managed to break the camera by smashing it into a wall, luckily the lens is intact and only the cover is busted, need to find a camera shop somewhere...good that i have a small back up camera :)

If the water level would rise up around 40cm half of holand would be covered with water...just look at the picture and you'll see that people practically live in the water...
