Amsterdam - Part 1

Heehee...

Moi got my birthday present early.....
From Tom:
A baby Pink Nintendo DS lite!!

*TATA*
At least there's something to keep me occupied when i'm overseas now~

In Amsterdam...again
The last Amsterdam flight i did was probably 2-3months ago? (Not that i mind~)

Nice hotel.... I LOVE KING SIZE BED!!! You could just roll yourself over and over again without falling off from the bed....and it comes with not one or two BUT 6 Fluffy Down pillows~
*YAAY*

See! Such simple things can make me jump up in joy~
It comes with a nice toilet too
(Unfortunately, i didnt have the time to soak myself in the nice bathtub)

Dinner was at a restaurant inside a Casino. It was very popular and we had to wait 40mins before we finally got a table.

While we were waiting for a table, moi was walking around and observing the scene around me. I think it'll be so interesting to be working in a casino. The gaming chips, the slot machines, Roulette and so forth.

Having say that, i'm not supportive of gambling. I have never place a money bet on anything
(i did buy Toto once and that's cos it's shared among my colleagues for the S$10million jackpot)
I know it's very easy money... In fact, one of my colleagues won a couple of thousands that night.
Matter of principle, i guess *shrug*
We saw a beautiful rainbow as we exited the casino.
Im really hooked on my Nintendo DS Lite.
And my favourite game at the moment is: Bomberman Early next morning...9am
We signed up for the half day Windmills/Edam tour package. Cost: 30Euros per person
(15% discount for crew members) HeeHee
We passed by moo moo cows along the wayFIRST STOP: A quaint little town, Edam
lined with picturesque shops and charming houses...
Notice the RED ARROW pointing to the man?
In all the sightseeing tours i had been, never in my life had i came across a group of man joining a sightseeing tour wearing 3-piece suits!!
SHIRTS, JACKETS, PANTS and even TIES!!! @_@
Talk about being dressed up for tours...
And they had this professional photographer tagging along to take photos of them!

I'm not jesting
No prizes for guessing which nationality they are.....
I really love this little town

We saw a wedding...

Nope...your eyes are not deceiving you.
These are the everyday dressing of the town people
OF COS IM KIDDING!!!
*roll eyes*

Obviously, they are having some sort of a carnival and some big shot is suppose to make an appearance later.
(I can't remember actually...the tour guide kinda explained but we were too busy taking photos)
I just thought the following scene is pretty amusing.
Two ladies dressed in old centuries clothing buying a hotdog. Haha
After leaving the Edam town behind, off we go to our next destination.

Windmills/cheese factory/wooden clogs factory
(They are all located in the same area)
WOODEN CLOG FACTORY

Wedding clogs~

Clogs everywhere!

They made wooden tulips too~That's the cute guy showing how wooden clogs are made...and he speaks a little bit of chinese too! Awwww~
HAHA...i wonder who came up with this cute designBiggest Clog in the world?Next stop: CHEESE FACTORYBest part? Free sampling of their home made cheese!!
I love Cheese!!! (except Blue and goat cheese...bleah~)
The Dutch lady explaining how cheese are madeFinal stop: WINDMILLS That's Jaz! She's really tall...Like 1.83m or something....
I'm so envious of her height.. She's probably the tallest girl i know...
Sighz, if im as tall as her...i could be a MODEL!! Hee
Awww...i saw a little baa baa running across the field
Finally, the tour came to an end.. By then, the bright and wonderful weather had come and gone... The sky looks like its gonna rain any minute
We're going on our own to the Madurodam, a mini world..
Hope the weather wouldnt get worse~
Part 2 coming in the next blog
