Amsterdam...

…rules!

Top ten reasons to visit Amsterdam.


  1. The coffee. A four-ounce cup packs the punch of a half gallon of Dunkin Donut’s

  2. The direct but polite people.

  3. The colors and the typography. Even pay phones are cool.

  4. Walking. Anywhere and everywhere.

  5. The architecture. I’m sure there are boring streets somewhere in Amsterdam, but I didn’t see one.

  6. The bikes, everywhere. I saw more than one dog in a basket at the front of a bike, and easily 1000 children riding in front of their parents in boxes, baskets, and bikeseats.

  7. The trams.

  8. The beer.

  9. The Van Gogh Museum. Weirdly ugly on the outside; the second floor is wonderful.

  10. The canals. Obvious yes, but beautiful still.
