Amsterdam

I had a great trip with my roommates to Amsterdam this past weekend. I was really surprised by the quality of architecture in the area. I suspected something like a small British town, but it was quite large and had some breathtaking buildings. The many many canals of the town also created an interesting experience as well. They had tons of tours taking you all around the town completely by water.

We had a lot of fun just watching all the interesting people around the town and the many crazy stores 
around the city. We also got to see a torture museum, the Heineken Brewery, and the Van Gogh Museum. Around the town you feel in a completely different universe with how liberal the whole city is. They are very open about sexuality and drugs every where you go. Its sad to say but I think one of the highlights of the trip was definetely the fast food stop where all they sell are french fries. We stopped there twice and once i got em covered in cheese and the second time I got their famous sauce called Fritesause, it was like a white cheddar / mayo sauce. I really have no idea what was in it, but it was delicious. 

So this upcoming weekend I go with my program to go to Rome and the next weekend I'm planning to go to Nice, France for the biggest Carnival celebration in Europe. I already got my mask for the trip.
