... look forward to when they get here. It is truly impossible to not encounter these though. The coffeeshops are on every corner (where you can get anything from actual coffee and "space cakes" to...well...you know). The Red Light District is right in the middle of town. You can't avoid it. By the end of the week, I recognized the women in the windows. There really are red lights everywhere and the streets are lined with windows that open up onto ...

... for det var indeni....Det er sku da kunst!!

Lørdag tilbragte jeg med opgaver, lidt "luft forandring" med et par timers shopping.
Søndag var lidt lakrids: Mere opgave, en løbetur, og afslutning af de to opgaver: Et stk. á 20 sider med matematiske beviser og underlige figurer. Et stk. á otte sider om Post Keynesians makroøkonomi og de finacielle markeder. Ja det var vist den søndag.

Mandag troede jeg lige, jeg var ude i en home run...Men nej ...

... and rare. The common language is English, so we havent had any issues communicating. We have walked miles and miles around the streets and everything is so beautiful. We even went through the red light district, which was...interesting!

We leave for Paris tomorrow, we will let you know how that goes!

... The lights, the water, the mountains... mmm.

My stomach continued to slide up into my throat and back down again with each plunge in our descent--usually not the best feeling, but it may be slightly endearing after this experience!

As the wheels scraped the ground at over 100 miles/hour, I couldn't believe it... I was in AFRICA. If I said no turning back before, now I really meant it.

I hope someone is here for us with a sign... ( :

... features and benefits. "We soon found out that honesty was the only luxury they had," Kessels says. Guests with no expectations, he reasoned, wouldn't complain. One of the first ads appeared on the side of a tram; Kessels cleverly only bought the ad for a streetcar line that passed by Amsterdam's main tourist information office, and only on the side of the tram that faced the building. The ad bragged about how exclusive the Hans Brinker was --it ...

I arrived in Amsterdam without any problems. Mommy got off about 10 minutes before me and should be in Copenhagen. I have a 4 and a half hour layover, so I am entertaining myself on the internet. I have included a picture of the airport food court and communications center and of my Starbucks venti mocha. Coffee is not a big thing in Norway, so I am very happy with my mocha...

... windmills though it is probably now better known for its liberal views on soft drugs like marijuana and open policies on prostitution. When in Rome do as the Romans and when in Amsterdam why not visit a Coffee Shop. In Amsterdam Coffee Shops sell pot. They are generally very artistically decorated with walls covered in murals and music from the world's famous doped out musicians, such as Cyprus Hill, playing in the background. They also sell coffee so you can go in ...

... the food was another thing - I couldn't tell what it was, one example was a breaded roll with green goo that tasted like cheese. Another was a burger, but I wasn't certain if the patty was made of beef. I leave that up to you to find out. My last day in Europe was officially over was soon as we got back to the hostel around 1 am, as my flight left 9 hours later. Bid goodbye to my roomie and had the best sleep I've had in awhile. I didn't even notice the snoring.

... to the home where Anne and her family spent nearly 2 yrs in hiding and writting her journals. The museum is touching and covers this -one- familys history with videos and murals you watch/read as you pass through the living quarters. It was very impressive and tactfully preserved. At the end of the tour is the video story of how they were shipped to work camps and the horrific end of Anne's life. Very touching. As you see the Jordaan neighborhood in Amsterdam has many treasures.
