1. For your serene surrounding canals

2. For art around every corner

Amsterdam, how do I love thee... let me count the ways

3. For having more bikes than cars

Just put your kids in the front and go

4. For making the mullet seem like the hippest haircut possible.

5. For making me feel at home instantly

6. For being so liberal

7. For coffee shops

8. For cafe seating that faces the world as if it was a movie

9. For having an abundance of hostels

10. for being set up in a way that no matter how lost I get as long as I keep walking I end up where I started

As many of you know I truly LOVE Amsterdam. It is like a giant playground. It's like they trust you to be an adult and make your own decisions, and because of that everything works in harmony.

Last night my room filled up with a bunch of australian and kiwi girls. Suddenly there was a whirlwind and I was swept away on a pub crawl with them. We had a blast... lots of dancing and laughing. I think they are spending today in Vondel park on magic muchrooms. What a town!!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!

Looks like you had fun. Did you use the Eurail system?

Ok - if what you're saying is that it would actually be possible to live in what appears to be a floating Lego house with the front lawn on top, then I have found my new heaven.
