In Amsterdam

In Amsterdam now and the city is everything I expected it to be... coffee shops full of stoners, heaps of hookers in red-lit windows and bicycles everywhere! There are also art galleries and museums galore; the whole city just smells of culture (and weed!). At first I was daunted by it all and depressed over the prices of everything but after a couple of days I'm beginning to really like the city. It is just so nice to wonder the streets and eat pastries by the canals during the day and then chill out at one of the coffee shops of a night. And there are plenty of attractions here to fill the day. Yesterday I visited the Rijksmuseum, which displays artworks from celebrated Dutch artists throughout history, including Rembrandt. Today I'm planning to take a tour through the canals and maybe check out the Van Gough Museum or Anne Frank's House. The Sex Museum or a Live Sex Show are also options, but I think I'll give them a miss this time hehe.
