Tweeting from Amsterdam.... no wonder i returned home to a MASSIVE phone bill! Follow my tweets here
Lemme see.. how would a describe Amsterdam in a few words? Clean
Friendly
Busy (Motor vehicle, Bicycle, Tram & Human traffic)
Hectic
Compact yet not
Interesting Architecture
Canals
Tree-lined
Cobbled streets & alley ways
Tolerant
This is the oldest church in the centre of the city... and it faces the 'Ladies of the night' windows which we were advised NOT to photograph. A stone's throw away is a creche that some of these working women use for their children, while they see clients. If that's not acceptance and tolerance, I don't know what is...
THe (IN)famous Bulldog Cafe chain
I loved the architecture there. You'll find that the city centre's buildings are all pretty narrow and I learned the reason for that being that in past times, taxation was calculated based on the width of the building in which people resided ie. the wider the building the wealthier the owner!
