We've made a controversial decision to not see the Red Light District. Amsterdam has offered so much and we have both been so impressed and in awe with how beautiful it is and the simplicity of the lifestyle that we feel that at this point, it might tarnish that image for the sake of cheap visual thrills. Although we feel like we may be denying ourselves a memory, it also feels that after everything we've experienced and seen on the trip, that our psyche and our total experience would not benefit in any way from that visit. Sorry to not be able to fill you in on more details from the seedy side of Amsterdam, but we had so much fun that we already know this will not be our last trip to this part of ... read more

Geo: 51.4366, 5.478 GÜN 10 Günlerden Cuma Sevgili Dostum Yalım ve Heike'den ayrılmak zor oldu.Buradan, Eindhoven çok yakın 140 km falan...Öğleden sonra öpüştük ve ayrıldık.Küçük kızım ve damadım Eindhoven'de oturur. Çok zorlanmadan evi bulduk kızım bizi karşılamak için izin almış evde bekliyordu. Hasretler giderildi.Akşamüstü Damadım gelince yine sohbetlere daldık ve belirgin bir saatten sonra izin isteyip otelimize gittik.Aslında onların yorgunluğu nedeniyle biz biraz Eindhoven By Night yapmak istedik ve Ayşe'ciğimle otelimize çok yakın olan Eindhoven Barlar sokağına daldık.Burası bizim Nevizade'nin Avrupa versiyonu.Biraz dolaştıktan sonra kendimize bir bar seçtik ve biralarımızı içerken gelen geçeni seyremeğe başladık.Be kardeşim ! 2 m den aşağı bir kız ya da bir erkek geçmiyor.Bir ara kendimizi devler ülkesinde lilliputlar gibi hisse... read more

although having fun, he's having a hard time with cartoons since leaving the U.S. upon arriving in the hotel in Amsterdam, he found a Dutch version of Sesame Street playing. He was unable to follow the number count and was very confused with the singing of the alphabet. He was embarrased when he was told to stop laughing at the kids he assumed didn't know their "ABCs" as they were actually singing them in Dutch. ....more from the roaming bear in Europe to come. ... read more

Amsterdam! - by Sarah Europe » Netherlands » Amsterdam By sarah and trentMay 23rd 2007sarah and trent Amsterdam is very relaxing and there are people on bikes everywhere! The natives are extremely friendly and their English is pratically flawless! It is a mess of canals and bridges and trams and people on bikes trying to run you over and delicious Shuorma, which is kind of like Kebab. Here are some pictures. The weather was cool and mixed rainy/sunny. We liked our hostel and how eco-friendly it is here. Interestingly, the only people that seem to visit the "Coffeehouses" (where you can buy marijuana) are teenage boys and tourists. ... read more

11 days to go and I have to arrange so many things: my visa in Amsterdam on Tuesday morning, put my stuff in boxes, sit down and enjoy the sun and the sea on Friday, boxes again on Saturday, the actual moving is Sunday. Then it's really a countdown of days, later of hours... I hate saying goodbye I suck at it, like most people. The big tears are going to come at the airport surrounded by those whom I gonna the miss the most probably. BUT between all this some little smiles and daydreams of what's going to come, what I am going to do, see, learn, and enjoy! It's all going to be also a part of you, through my eyes, written down right here!! love..... read more
