Amsterdam

Amsterdam is one of the other fun cities that I went to. Amsterdam is famous for a lot of things. Ill name a few of them: Heineken brewery, Van Gogh, Ann Frank, and of course the red light district and marijuana. I saw all of these and I would have to say they are all awesome, well except the marijuana. I smelt it coming from some of the coffee shops but I never went in.

The Heineken brewery was probably the best part of Amsterdam for me. It was set up very well and taught you everything you have ever wanted to know about the beer and the company. It didn’t cost a lot to get in and they gave you three free beers. (That might have been what I liked the most.) Other than that it was nice because they allowed you to experience things you never would think about. For example they had a room that you could sit down and have your own TV. With the TV you could pick which year you wanted to look at and they would show you the commercial they made for that year. It was in almost every language so you could understand it. They also had a great gift shop and even if you didn’t buy something they still gave you a gift when you left. I would suggest going there.

The Van Gogh museum was cool also. I would make sure you have longer than and hour or two to get through it. I went in and tried to do it in an hour and we had to run through some of the rooms. It was very interesting and kind of pricy. I would some day like to go back but it probably won’t be for awhile.

The Ann Frank house was really cool. I was always interested in her story and it was great to see where it all happened. It was rather hot inside and I can not imagine how bad it would have been to live there like they did. I was rushed though there also but I think I got all of it in. It was amazing. If you can I would read the book before you go because you will get more out of it.

Finally ill tell you about the red light district. It is very interesting. I walked through it twice and didn’t really stick around for very long. I am sure if I was with friends instead of family I would have stuck around longer but it was weird with my aunt there. The marijuana part I really don’t have the experience with that one. From what I heard of other people going to Amsterdam, it’s a good time and you need to try it. I don’t have much else to say about that.

I hope this helps in your travels and if you want more information please let me know Ill see what I can do. Thanks Andy Hennig
