in England!

Hey,

well, were in england, brighton to be exact!  we met our friend giacomo in london yesterday,  spent some time in London, and then after work made our way by train to brighton.

PB112367 Its a really nice city, and this morning, we went to the beach with giac and his kid, alessandro.

anyways, were going to the aquarium now, and ill uplodad brussels and england pictures at a later date, when i can get my laptop online.  till then

Walking in Amsterdam

Well, i went exploring in amsterdam again today. it really is a great city. we just walked down the main shopping street, towards the central station, which is the train station.

PB071997 i really do love all the canals in amsterdam, and especially all the boats. its cool seeing some of these house boats that people live in.
PB071999the next thing we went to go see was the Anne Frank house. ive been inside it before, so we just took a picture, but its still interesting to go see. it appears they were working on the museum that is next to it, and the museum even has a restaurant in it!

PB072021PB072023i took up so many pictures, and it hard to write things and show them all. here is the main street that leads to central station, and some really pretty row houses along one of the canals.

PB072025of course, theres also the amsterdam sex museum, which is right across the street from the Red Light district. It appears they are working on it right now. i never have been inside there, but i think its always a hightlight for all the tourists.

.

Lastly, i wanted to take a picture of all the bikes in front of central station. if you think theres a lot of bike riders where you are from, PB072046well, its nothing until you see the amountPB072048 of bikes there are in holand, and parked here. its absolutley insane. also, many dutch people tend to paint their bikes funny colors, they say so that if it is stolen, its easier to find again in the future.

if you wish to see the other few pictures that i took today, you can view them here

Anyways, i am going to Brussels tomorrow, leaving in the morning, its a 3 hour train ride, meet our 2 friends from highschool after work, and leave about at 9 in the evening to come home. havent seen these friends of mine since high school, so its going to be great.

so, then, on friday we leave for england to see another one of my high school friends. he lives on the coast, in Brighton, but we are flying into London. we will be there for about 4 days, and then we are flying to France, to visit my god mother for 5 days or so, and then its back home here to amsterdam. so its a busy time coming up here.

so, ill update more about the day in brussels tomorrow, or the day after. till then

Arrived in Amsterdam

After walking up at 4:30 in the morning, heading to the airport, getting hassled by security, wondering why im with an israeli for 7 years and dont speak hebrew, nevermind that ive been living in canada, we arrived in amsterdam at about 1pm.

it was an okay flight, a little bit of bad turbulance, which i always enjoy! we got picked up by noa’s parents, and went directly to get a sandwich.

not sure what the agenda for the next few days is, but i do intend to run amok in amsterdam a bit, and resee all the sights there are to see. we are really only here for 5 days, till friday, and then we fly to london for a few days, afterwich we head to france. busy times coming up.

i hope to have some wicked amsterdam pictures next time around.
