Amsterdam Pics! Finally Here

FINALLY!!!!I've gotten off my (pretty - acctually The Pretty) ass and have put all my Amsterdam Pic's on!!!

woot woot for me!!

A picture of a canal bridge, while standing on another canal bridge. *sigh* it was so lovely there! not pretty, but lovely.

The across the canal view from our hotel... it was really cool

They were friggin cheap too, like 5.75 dollars for 50 tulips (5.00 euro)

I couldnt believe that they already had flowers- it was so unfair! Amsterdam is famous for the Bloomenmarket, a street, or niehborhood completely FILLED with flower stands with all differnt types of flowers, from Roses to Orchids to Tulips- we even saw black tulips! The black ones were called "queen of the night" or something like that... it was really cool. we stayed like two blocks from the Bloomenmarket, and we walked it on the first day.

It smelled really good.

Oh yeah, one of the coolest things I thought, we were going to our hotel on the first day,it was 'round 9 am they're time, 3 am our time, and the streets were being cleaned- they had two different types of street cleaners- the semi-normal (semi cuz they were dutch style) and on the dutch style street cleaners they had and have fresh brooms made of twigs, they would have new brooms each day to sweep the streets with, it was so...dutch

Yes...they already had flowers.... damn them! and that was in FEBUARY!!!

All types and colors of Orchids... ahh it was soooo beautiful.

This is a Toothbrush Ferris Wheel, god, Dutch people are so way cooler than us.

Toothbrushes.... a Toothbrush shop! WAY more creative than us damn loser Americans, "lets go to the toothbrush shop!" or "Lets go bomb some innocent countries!!/FUCK ALL FRENCH PEOPLE- THEY SUCK IRAQI DICK- lets go have some freedom fries!!!"

Oohhh yeah,Toothbrush shop, which was soo awesome! I mean, just god. thats just damn NIFTY!!

*moans*

Yup, in the window of the Toothbrush Shop...

Me and Vanouch, seeing if we could fit our arms around the mast of a East India Trading co. vessel, it was soo huge, the ship was the Amsterdam. It was not one of the famous E.I.T co. Brittsh ships, it was Dutch, haha the Dutch East India Trading co. (as opposed to the Brittsh East India Trading co.)

that damn mast was sooo huge!

Yes... a house-boat with GRASS ON THE ROOF. how AWESOME is that!!!!!

Whenever I go someplace (a new country), I always count something unique to the place, in Amsterdam I counted houseboats, I saw roughly 165-180 houseboats- there are roughly 800 registered!! (legal)

Come on, oh my star is fading
I swerve out of control
If I'd, if I'd only waited
I'd not be stuck here in this hole.

Come here, oh my star is fading
and I swerve out of control
And I swear I waited and waited
I've got to get out of this hole.

But time is on your side, it's on your side now
Pushing you down and all around
It's no cause for concern

Come on, oh my star is fading
And I see no chance of release
And I know I'm dead on the surface
But I'm screaming underneath

And time is on your side, it's on your side now
Pushing you down and all around
It's no cause for concern

Stuck on the end of this ball and chain
And I'm on my way back down again
Stood on a bridge, tied to a noose
Sick to the stomach
You can say what what you mean
but it wont change a thing
I'm sick of the secrets
Stood on the edge
tied to a noose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose

~Coldplay - Amsterdam

I threw away your greatest hits
You left them here the day you split
Your bass guitar and shaggs CD
Well they don't mean that much to me right now
I'm going through your things
These days, I'm changing all my strings
I'm gonna write you a letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
I wanna see how it looks
>From way up on your cloud
Where you've been hiding out
Are you getting somewhere?
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?
You won't get too far from me
believing everything you read
You're wasted in the great unknown
and I am getting ready to dispose
of all your vintage clothes
Your drugs and every secret code
I'm gonna write you a letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
I wanna see how it looks
>From way up on your cloud
Where you've been hiding out
Are you getting somewhere?
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?
>From your red balloon you were
a super high tech jet fighter
Floating over planet earth
Come back down here, I'll show you where it hurts
Take this bitter pill
Is it easy to swallow?
I'm gonna write you a letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
I wanna see how it looks
From way up on your cloud
You're never coming down
Are you getting somewhere?
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?
~Guster - Amsterdam

Another lonely night in Amersterdam
And stars are coming out in waves
I miss my Miss America in Park Hotel
And I'm too stoned to call it a day

When everything you wanted
Seems to hide behind your eyes
And I'm locked in my hotel room
Thinking over our goodbyes

I will write this down for you
So you can read this
I will hold my breath for you
Till you can feel it

Another lonely night in Amsterdam
And water's moving through the sound
The blood is boiling in my veins
and the food I can't keep down

And I don't care if you don't love me
And I don't care if you won't change
I could live inside these shadows that I cast on you
If it meant that you would stay
And I'll be home before the morning comes,
You won't have to be alone

I will write this down for you
So you can read it
I will hold my breath for you
Till I can't feel it
You don't have to see me this way,
Cause this way I'm okay

I will write this down, I will write this down

Oh love, I'm tangled up again
Oh love, when does this twisting end?
When does this twisting end?

I will write this down for you
So you can read it
I will hold my breath for you
Till I can't feel it
You won't have to see me this way
Cause this way I'm okay

I will write this down for you,
So you can read it...
