Long ago Amsterdam was just a small settlement on the Amstel River. Later it developed into a centre of 17th century world trade. Today Amsterdam is a colourful and international city, with unique chararcterics and independently-minded inhabitants.

Hace mucho tiempo, Amsterdam era sólo un pequeño asentamiento a orillas del río Amstel. Más tarde se convirtió en el centro mundial del comercio en el siglo 17. Hoy en día Amsterdam es una ciudad colorida e internacional, con cultivos característicos y unos habitantes con una mente muy abierta.

Somehow I missed the Tulip Museum when I was in Amsterdam. It’s amazing that there was such financial speculation with tulips in the seventeenth century. In Germany, the Margrave of Karlsruhe-Durlach employed sixty young women, his “Tulip Girls”, to take care of his tulips and paint pictures of the best ones.
