for everyone
hi every1,

aloha! (yea. still duno how to say hi in dutch). my 1st day in amsterdam. arrived at hostel at about 2pm. Reception guy extremely handsome. stuffed my bag into the locker and then went out for a walk. 1st went to tourist info centre - got a map, and an I AMSTERDAM card. it's basically a card that allows u to visit some museums + attractions for free. but it's only valid for 24 hours from the moment u start using it. after that leh, went to a coffee shop and sat down with my map and started to plan my itinery.

oh. oh. did i tell u. my hostel is bang on in the middle of the red light district. so cool...and the red light district is where China town is as well. saw a lot of siew ngap (roast duck) on my way to the hostel. of course, not to mention girls/mostly old women dressed skimpily, tapping on the glass window. to be honest, a bit dissapointed lor.. i have expected to be more chun women with chun bodies. mana tau - a lot of old old women. fat oso. not that i'm trying to discriminate (but i guess i cant help it either). it's just very different fr what i expected it to be. oh. they come in all sorts of race as well. btw, ma, red light district on the contrary is actually a very safe place bcoz it's very busy at night and has got loads of policemen patrolling and oso bodyguards that the 'girls' hire to protect them (according to lonely planet).

So far, i have to say, i'm not super impressed (should never have gone to Rome as the 1st trip to Europe, coz after that, everywhere else seems to be a bit of a let down). it's a nice relaxing trip and i've been just walking leisurely here and there, the town is scenic but not amazing. i've been to the Oude Kerk (old church) - the exterior = so-so la. went to some squares as well eg. Rembrandtplein (ie Rembrandt the painter), i mean, the atmosphere is nice and all and i am somewhat enjoying myself. but again, it's not that unforgettable. but all in all, i just feel nice to be able to go somewhere and spend some money after just getting my 1st pay ;p

going to go on a bike tour tmr and then visit the museums on Monday. ttalk to u guys later! take care!

btw. it costs bloody 0.90 euros to use the internet for 30mins.

Oh!. . . . Amsterdam is the holiday venue for your first pay. . . . . . interesting!
The Dutch on average is the tallest people on earth and have one of the most liberal sex industry policy in the world. . . . . . no wonder you see so many chickens and ducks walking around. . . . . !(^_^)
