Amsterdam

They are so many bicycles in the Netherland. Ladies dressed elegantly in nice dresses with high boots also ride bicycles.

Amsterdam is relatively a new city in Europe with 800 years of history. Dutch people in the old days were sailors or merchants. They are canals in Amsterdam.

The Dutch Government tends to be liberal. Drugs and prostitution are run legally in the Netherland.

The Netherland has many Chinese shops. I had a bowl of wan tan noodle soup that was authentic and only cost 7 euro in the China Town, Amsterdam yesterday's afternoon. I like the restaurant because it was not decorated as a luxurious restaurant but a traditional local shop.

China Town in Amsterdam is located just next to Red Light District.

I learnt that mushroom is also a type of drug.

Coffee shops don't sell coffee. Coffee shops are shops for people to smoke joints. If you want to drink coffee, don't step into "coffee shop", but "Coffee Company Shop".

I have mixed feeling towards Amsterdam.

So far, all Dutch people I have interacted with are patient, friendly and very helpful. They speak fluent English because they are many big international companies in the Netherland. For example, the headquarter of Saudi-stated-owned company which is the richest oil company in the world - Aramco is located in the Netherland because of the Netherland's tax redemption benefits.

Those canals in Amsterdam has made the city cozy and attractive whereas streets are narrow that cause traffic jam. Public transport like trams and buses are conveniently available.

The main reason I hold mixed feeling towards Amsterdam is its legally run drug activities and red light district. If i am a tourist for merely a short visit, I may be thrilled to see such activities. However, if i live in the town for a long period, I would think twice for the security of the town.
