It's now late Sunday night, and I returned from my afternoon trip to Amsterdam just a couple of hours ago. Now I'm planning my day tomorrow: a day trip by myself to Berlin.
Amsterdam was, despite the uncomfortably cold weather and intermittent light rain, a beautiful city. The way that Amsterdam's sidewalks, shops and restaurants line the city's canals is really cool. Thinking about Philly, I have hopes that the Delaware River waterfront can be developed in a similar (in concept at least) way. In Amsterdam, we stepped into several souvenir shops and walked through the red light district, where - in a purely aesthetic sense - the girls were actually not bad-looking at all.
But speaking of girls, and I mean the everyday, decent types, I was very impressed with the girls I saw in Amsterdam. Maybe it was just the mix of different types: the tall, blonde, Dutch girls, the really hot brown-skinned girls from (or the descendants of parents from) the former Dutch colonies, and the beautiful-eyed and tantalizingly unattainable girls from the Middle East and Arab world. I tell ya, wham-bam, thank you ma'am, Amsterdam was damn hot, man!
Finally, right before leaving, I went to the Sex Museum. You'd think it would be exciting, and although I would still suggest it to anyone visiting the city, I ultimately say that it wasn't that big of a deal. There were just lots of photos of naked people, photos of them having sex and getting freaky and shit, and funny exhibits of movable mannequins undressing or moaning or squirting in your direction. But hey, for 3 Euros, it was still worth the price.
Anyway, that's all for now folks. I've gotta get a few hours of sleep now before waking up to get a 7:24am train from Essen to arrive at 11:08am in Berlin. I've already done some research online so as to know what to see (since I'm going solo). I'll return back to Essen late tomorrow night for one last rest before waking up super early on Tuesday for the return trip back to my final destination: the double-deuce and Spruce, of course.
