I am back

I just came back from Amsterdam. It was not a vacation but work. I had a free last day and I managed to snap a few pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words, so they say so I will keep the prose to a minimum. Enjoy.





Danish Dutch people are very caring of themselves and their fellow human beings, that is why you have emergency defibrillators and stretchers just in case you have a little emergency and need someone to zap you and carry you off.



One thing you notice about Amsterdam are bicycles, they are everywhere, even more than cars.




Multi-storey Bicycle Parking



If you don't have a bike you can always rent one.




Or you could take a Taxi Bike.



For longer travel, trains are used.


You pay your fare by banging on a touch screen and pushing coins down the slot.




If you travel by plane, you can always take your bike with you.



Danish Dutch people love their chips.

This place was doing more business than the McDonalds further down the street.



Hot cones of chips are served from the freshly made chips hills, the only menu selection you get is Ketchup or Mayonaise on your chips. I had Ketchup.



There is a vibrant coffee culture in Amsterdam, french style outdoor coffees are everywhere.



After your Cappucino, you have to pay for it.



Other coffee places are not really coffee places. Always read the sign at the door before going in.
