Amsterdam

by ingridf_nl - last update: Jun 30, 2004

I initially moved to the Netherlands on a whim. It seemed perfect, a job offer, no obligations, so off I went. I have now lived in Amsterdam since 2000, and well, in many ways it has become home.

I will try to let you know about activities and places that may not be in every tour book, and maybe come up with some suggestions of things you can do in the Netherlands that are "off the beaten path".

(This may be hard though, since some of the tour books these days are very good).

Meanwhile, enjoy reading about this city of canals, cafés, houseboats, and circular streets.

Cons:"rainy drab winters, flat flat flat"
In A Nutshell:"a big village"
