Bring an open mind and enjoy and other Amsterdam, Netherlands General Tips

Favorite Thing: One of my most favorite things about Amsterdam is:

the pace, lifestyle, and feeling of the old city (away from busy center) along the canals on a warm, sunny day in the fall.

Fondest Memory: Walking, and even better, bicycling the city and countryside both day and at night, especially during the still-warm fall weather.

A'Dam faves:
- The local people I met in Amsterdam. Puccinis. Bicycles. Indonesian and Dutch food. The peace of the sunset from a terrace. The chimes from Westerkerk Toren.

Meeting, listening to and learning from all different cultures of people on the streets, in the cafes, restaurants, museums, bars, and coffee shops.
Water; canals, art, architecture.

To me, Amsterdam at first felt like a city of harmony, but the more I return I am finding beneath the surface that is not necessarily the case.

No matter, I will not let prejudice and hatred spoil Amsterdam or the Netherlands for me.
