MAGIC MUSHYS, WEED, RED LIGHT DISTRICT, BIKES, CLOGS AND WINDMILLS.. this pretty much sums up amsterdam.. very different place everyone very free minded and pretty much u can do anything u want here from drinking in the street to smoking pot in the street to urinating in the street... there is at least 1 bike per person in this place and well they have the right of way so yeah.. pretty much u have more chance of getting hit by a bike than anything else.. we had a few massive days here including a pub crawl which resulted in me bein very wasted and loosing my bearings ending up a block from the hostel and jumpin into a taxi who drove me round the block pretty much and charged me 15 euro.. bastard think he saw me coming... messy but good times.. went on a bike tour checked out windmills and a clog making factory they are so cool i wanted a pair but simon told me they werent practicle.. haha... also checked out anne frank house which was pretty cool..

not just any old house there is people moving into the house and see how they are doing it because the doors are not very wide they have to hoist it through the windows.. notice how the houses tend to be leaned forward a little... this is why..
