  • Lots of canals everywhere in Amsterdam. I didn't take a boat ride, but I would love to.

    The buildings, I read, are tilted forward towards the water so furniture can be hauled up and into the front windows without hitting the building too much.

  • Marijuana and hashish are technically illegal in Amsterdam, but they're tolerated to a degree. Small-scale production and use aren't prosecuted, and "coffeeshops" are allowed to sell cannabis as long as they're discreet. Or so I read somewhere.

  • I am told this is the Magna Plaza. Course I was lost at the time and didn't know quite where I was.

  • I was just walking down the street when I saw these musicians talking in the doorway of a building.

  • Obviously Amsterdam is half roads and half canals, so all the intersections have bridges!
