Anyway, I don't want to bore you with my adventures and misadventures in Amsterdam, I will just summarize my experience using bullet points:
Discovered that Starbucks in Amsterdam is about 150% more expensive compared to MNL.
Trains and Tram rides FTW! cars are too expensive here.
Its raining everyday but still, they don't use umbrellas
Go to enclosed public spaces for free heating. Yes, the heater is the most important invention of all time.
NL is flat, no mountains, no hills, millions of piles under AMS to keep it afloat.
Visited the famous Grasshopper bar. (still, i did NOT smoke weed.)
They have museums for almost everything. from wax, to sex, to vodka, beer, weed, etc. name it, and they have an exhibit for it.
Visited the Rijks Museum ( I saw a painting worth 500++ Million Euros!!) and the Amsterdam Museum (which used to be an orphanage by the way.)
On our last night, we decided to go out in small groups, most of them decided to go to this dutch comedy bar, but we decided to grab a pizza and check out the AMS nightlife.Abbas from Kenya, Osmar from Chile, Miguel from Spain Laura from Australia and Emmanuel from the Philippines, biked under the Amsterdam night sky ( COLD, Amsterdam night sky, lol). We went to a local restaurant and had pizza. We walked around AMS and decided to checkout one of the bars. It was fun, but I realized that the party scene in MNL is way better.We decided to call it a night around 12 MN, too bad, I have to wake up really early and be at the centraal station before 6AM for my train to Paris.
