on tuesday we arrived to Amsterdam, which was such an amazing city! They're all about sex and drugs and peace, and anti violence (opposite of America). We did a walking tour of Amsterdam, where we got to try Gouda cheese and see the red light district, and sit by canals. Then we went to the Anne Franke House, which was so moving. You actually got to stand in the rooms where they stayed, and the museum was so well put together.
We then tried to find the Iamsterdam sign, and we first found the wrong one and had to take a boat over to it. It was nice cause no one was there. But there are 3 of the signs in Amsterdam and so we found all three!
Then we took a tour of the Red Light District, which was super interesting. I thought that it was just one street with a couple girls, but little did I know that it was blocks and blocks full of girls in windows with different types of girls. It was craaaazy.
The next day (wednesday) we took the tram to the Van Gogh Museum, which was awesome. And then we went to the REAL Iamsterdam sign. We were first in line for the Bols Museum (Bols is genever and liquer, all different flavored alcohol) and went through this really cool experience where you learn about taste and smell (you smell all the different flavors and guess what they are)...and then you make a custom drink based on your preferences. It was so cool.
Then we went to the Heineken experience, which was cool. There was this video where you stand on this platform that moves and it is like you're being turned into beer and bubbles come from the ceiling and it's so cool. We went to this pancake house called Carousel after that and it's built around a carousel and i got a bacon and apple pancake YUM YUM.
That's pretty much it for Amsterdam, it was pretty chill. I love love love the city, it's so cool that it's built all around canals and it's such a laid-back, liberal city. I DEFINITELY want to go back and I think everyone needs to go!!
