[301208] Post Amsterdam

I'm back from the red light district capital of Europe - Amsterdam. No, i didnt get high smoking, pot, weed or marijuana thank you very much nor did i manage to shop the 'windows' at De wallen - the famous red light district. What i DID do was eat, and i meant gorging myself almost to death but just stopped myself in time, unfortunately i didnt take any pics of the delightful meals i ate so you just have to put your imagination to good use.

Food was expensive there, comparing to local standards of course but the portions were fitting and were delicious. Cafe De Castille, a rather reowned cafe served an excellent mixed grill, BBQ pork ribs, with succulent and fatty pork chops and a nicely seared medium rare steak along with some rather zingy mayo/mustard combi kinnda sauce. Tried escargo for the first time and it tastes like well, mushrooms? hahaha, rather chewy if you ask me.

The gals said i look like a burglar with my beanie. sad-ded... haha, the face of a criminal

I didnt get a chance to go sight seeing as well though there wasnt really anything much to see 'cept the windmills and tulips and all the arty farty stuff like art museums and galleries. I went instead with some of the crew to more practical locations like LV, Channel and Gucci shops for a continued education on the close links between people of my profession and their never ending desire for the finer items and accessories in life.

Slot in MacDonalds for lunch and we were back out in full force for a LONG trip down one of their shopping destricts for more common and mundane window shopping. I miss the cold weather in Amsterdam, alot of the others seem to really detest it, though i cant really endure the cold i really do love the weather, hmmm... perhaps i should migrate to a country with a cold climate someday.

*makes mental note to self*
FUTURE WIFE MUST LOVE COLD WEATHER

PS: I found out that duck feeding was a really cool activity and the ducks are extremely adorable. *sounds gay* rofl
