  • It's amazing how well the Dutch people speak English and German and how they can quickly switch from one language to the other. English speaking people will never have a communication problem here!

    Architecture: Hooks at Houses

  • In case you wondered: The houses in Amsterdam don't have hooks at the top because Holland is full of suicidal people. It's because the staircases are really steep and narrow - just imagine moving houses with a piano!

     I've been only in Schiphol during 1 hour :-)) I was rushing too because I thought the airport is not big and spent time in shops/restaurant but suddenly I realized I might lost my plane. Fortunately my plane was delayed a bit cause of weather :-)
