So back from Amsterdam last week (finally!). It’s nice to travel on business, staying in hotels, working and dining with customers and the chance to explore a different city. But there’s nothing like sleeping in your own bed (even though I still sleep in a bunk bed), eating home cooked meals (mmmmm) and being able to check your emails when you want (read: internet addict).
That was indeed my fourth time in Amsterdam, but not the last. There is the prospect of spending my new year’s over there too. It’s a nice city with plenty of museums which I still haven’t had a chance to check out. It’s a nice place to walk around the rivers and canals and even the country side if you get a chance. It’s also unique in that almost everyone speaks English (well, unique for a non-english speaking country), bikes are everywhere, drug tolerance is incredibly high, and of course the “Window shopping” in the red light district; not that I was looking to purchase any of the latter two.
On a quick note, I’ve started some Japanese lessons with a tutor in Cambridge and I’m going to Thailand for 3 weeks in September. It’s the rainy season then but I hope it’ll be lots of fun!
