Amsterdam: 13/1 to 16/1

Callum and I wanted to do one more holiday before we had to start up with spring term and decided to go to Amsterdam. We didn't do too much tour-isty activities, but I did drag him on a 3 hour free tour of the city. Our tour guide was an American that had come there to study and just never left. He explained the history of the city, all the laws and customs, and where the city is going in the near future. Since joining the EU, Amsterdam has been under a lot of pressure to basically become like every other city, which is incredibly unfortunate considering it's the only one of its kind in the world. The mindset of the locals is so incredibly tolerant of anything as long as it doesn't negatively affect them. In my opinion, it's a city that must be visited in the next few years before everything is the same as everywhere else.

Tourist trap. But so fun!
