Amsterdam...
April 22, 2004
…rules!
Top ten reasons to visit Amsterdam.
- The coffee. A four-ounce cup packs the punch of a half gallon of Dunkin Donut’s
- The direct but polite people.
- The colors and the typography. Even pay phones are cool.
- Walking. Anywhere and everywhere.
- The architecture. I’m sure there are boring streets somewhere in Amsterdam, but I didn’t see one.
- 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.
- The trams.
- The beer.
- The Van Gogh Museum. Weirdly ugly on the outside; the second floor is wonderful.
- The canals. Obvious yes, but beautiful still.
