Amsterdam - one of the happiest city I know!

by WanderingFinn - last update: Jan 1, 2008

The BICYCLE city

Several interesting ways to mark your own...
Everyone arriving in Amsterdam can't help seeing the amazing amoung of bicycles - watch out not to get overdriven.

It is a way of life here. No matter if you are a businessman or a student. The streets are so narrow and old and there are lots of canals and bridges that you just can't make it with a car (all of them). By a bicycle it's faster.

Take a look at the different paintings and decorations - only in Amsterdam!
Some people living in boats had beautiful terraces

The canal city

This is something I've also only seen in Amsterdam (canals I've seen, naturally) - people living in the beautiful house boats.

Some of them grow plants and flowers on the roof and have a kind of a garden or terrace with table and chairs there. Lovely!

The city of happy people

Just to end this description; I cannot say anything else than come and see it yourselves! Come and FEEL it yourselves. There is something very special in Amsterdam; like is in Dublin.

Merry happy people, always wanting to help you, always willing to serve you. Always smiling to you. Speaking unbeliavably excellent English - even the pronounciation.

Taste kangaroo meat in a restaurant!
Lovely mini terrace-bar somewhere in Amsterdam

Pros:"Everyone speaks excellent English, people happy, the canals, windmills, flowers, cheese, bicycles, athmosphere=happy to be there; you get on the mood too!"
Cons:"Personally don't like drugs and prostitution (Red Lamp Area)."
In A Nutshell:"A super city for those who want a guaranteed happy holiday!"
