checked into a 10-bed bunk but only 8 of us inside so yay! as good as private liao and the breakfast is SUPERB lor. lucky we stayed a few nights there. so shuang..think also fun becos eat tog in a grp mah.
walked around the small city area, really thousands of canals and super windy lor. i dunno how many times swipe my hair away from my eyes. damn irritating. checked out the famous red light district... too early nothing lor. went again at a later time. so scary..they snapped with flash leh...then got 2 guys come out shout at us. lucky never beat us up.
next day perfect day at zaanse schans. damn nice lor the place..so many windmills..soo serene..then got kids play some games on the floor, running round the fence which keep the farm animals...wahhh super utopia. very picturesque also. many shops for tourists, cheese and wooden shoes are local products. but really not sure is it boring for residents..cos we tourists go there once cfm will appreciate the peacefulness but duno how so for the pple staying there long term. went back amsterdam, check out tours at the counter then back to our hostel where we got our free beer and took pic with a shuai bartender.haha then after that elaine was saying that he must know that he;s cute himself cos after that dunno wat...all his frens come over the bar and took beer then they spoke dutch and luffed..nvm la..really meh? all shuai guys cfm know they themselves are shuai one ah? so confident? used the free internet there too..damn good.
day trip to madurudam which i din go in. well think one time xiao ren guo in china enuff le..not gg in again ba. so i walked by the main road, following the tram track to the coast. really wonder wat's the wind speed lor. i could feel myself being carried into the air. could hardly balance. it's like fisherman village in sentosa! super nice beach..so many stalls and all haf the signs with springs...ji smart..cos i remember the east coast ones keep toppling over and pple placed rocks at the bottom to prevent it from falling over. sand was fine and sticky. nice to step on..and good that it's not flying in the wind.
almost forgot abt the time...quickly rushed back. this time i ut thru the park instead, which i planned to be4, but scared i get lost or wat..now really got lost. the dirt path just ended suddenly, grass and bushes everywhere, there;s a central hill la...but i cant seem to find a way round it just by following a general direction. and there're so many poo ard. then a dirt path appeared as suddenly as it disappeared be4. i followed abit, it leads into the woods, can see a rover from the outside, i hesitated but when was abt to just walk in, a duck dunno appear from where quacked damn loudly..ok watever, i heeded it, be it a warning or not, i took another route but really no way to cross the canal, so i make one big turn back to the entrance and then finally back to the same route which i took be4. 1535 liao. i suppose to meet them at 1530. i ran lor...but when i reached they still not out yet.
1550...finally heard edel and fred's laughter..so distinctive. haha...we walked back to the central station where huiting left us. i really wanted to skip the train fare one leh..haha to delft but the rest dun dare..sigh..nothing special at delft actually...still say the most well preserved dutch city...delft to amsterdam is just like durham to newcastle lo. food was gd though..the person at the restaurant really super nice lor..taught us a few dutch phrases..and chatted with us. head back hostel...beer and internet.
early morn train. missed the delicious breakfast..damn sad. i snoozed my hp alarm lor..so scary almost late..lucky edel woke up..we rushed like mad..slept on the train to brussels...and oh no...they really missed theirs..so suay..
