Let’s see if I can still remember the details.. after 5 months..
It was a three days trip that we planned.. those who went were Alan, Gillian, Iryn and I. All i can remember now is that i left on the last night back for Malaysia, the rest left back for Cardiff the next morning.
Anyway, i was appointed to be the ‘Guide’, holding the map which we bought for 2 Euros, walking around the streets of Amsterdam, HOPING i was leading the group in the right direction!
Do u know that bicycles are kind of the main means of transportation around Amsterdam city? That is, other than Trams and Trains. They have bicycle lanes right beside pedestrian lanes, there were a few times we were nearly knocked down by some cyclists, cos we didn’t realise we were walking on their lanes.
Now... see if i can get some nice pics to show u peeps..
The 1st day, we didn’t do much since we only reached around 3 something 4 in the evening. By the time we found the hostel we were staying in, it was already starting to get dark. I think we went look for food? So we found this!
To be honest.. the food wasn’t too great…. >.<
Us in the bus out for our 2nd day in Amsterdam!
i think i'll just continue talking about WHERE we went.. and not WHEN.. since i've forgotten the WHEN already..
Heineken Brewery...
My 2nd time paying 10 Euros to go in for the tour.. in 2006, on my way home to Malaysia, i got stranded in Amsterdam's Schipol Airport for 24. so came out for a walk in Amsterdam City, friend forced me in for the tour....
Another place we went to was the Van Goh Museum... full of paintings! to read the story of his life.. you can't help but to feel sorry for him... a genius in a way.. but.. suffered so much..?
He tried looking at the Sun to paint it for 3 days i think.. can't rmb if he lost his sight or not, but i know something happened to his eyes lar!
managed to take some pictures secretly.. the best shot i ccould get was this!
A picture of Iryn and the famous Sunflower drawing..
found this BIG FAT thingy nearby the musuem!
We went look for Indonesian food as well, heard from a few people that have been to Amsterdam that we should try it.. so we did!
Seriously not bad at all. but i still felt, Malaysian food's still the BEST!
The end for now... getting lazy adi...... :-/
