Amsterdam - The so called official Visit ;)

Amsterdam Airport...remember "hum tum" ??
Welcome to !@# capital of the world ;)
naukiri.com ??;)
This was while waiting for the lift in hotel..Mohit was caught rolling in the floor clicking this as the lift opened for the shock of the ppl in there..
cutie again..
Flower market...Tulips were famous in Amsterdam..nice to c but a pinch in the pocket to own..5 tulips were priced at 500 rupees..:)
It was on the way side of a place called DAM (funny name isnt it??).I then got to know that we were actually standing on a place which was initially a dam :( n the whole city was built over planks drilled over the ocean.It started snowing while i took this picture..:) cha..didnt know how i forgot to capture that :(
Amsterdam like many south european cities have a three way transport..This river runs in the middle of the city and u can come across ship stops like the bus stops we have in our cities..n the boat houses how did i forget them..the govt had to pass a bill to check the number of boat houses built as ppl started building them out of their own will and whim..There wud be trams(to compensate for the subways in other european cities) in the sides followed by the normal buses.
This place is called Zaans-Schaans,famous for its wind mills..about 20 min by train from amsterdam..A must place to be if u go to amsterdam..It was very different from the city of amsterdam, a relatively sedate place..nice to be on a summer ..thou not so bad in winter too, only that u wud find a lot of snow covered fields like wot we found..


n yeah...thou i didnt take any picture of the night life in amsterdam,It was quite shocking first, then a bit bewildering before i finally got used to it as i left from the place..Probably, a person who had been to amsterdam for the first time as me wud second my thoughts :)

In all,,a "VERY different" city with a "sexy" night life, Throw ur inhibitions to dustbin n Enjoy the culture shock :D
