NYE in Amsterdam 2009

January 1, 2009

Was having second thoughts about going on this trip, but I glad I went. Such an amazing place, walking around the city everyone was so well dressed. I felt like walked in on a fashion show. People on bikes, trams, small cars, thats all you see. No big highways or tall buildings.
I spent most of my time close to the center, (Damrak street) admiring the streets, buildings and canals. I have only seen stuff like this in movies. Didn't know there was actually a place like this.
Made a few friends in the hostel I stayed and hung out with them till the New Year, partying till 6AM every the morning.
Funny thing, one of the guys Rickey from the UK bought a bike from some guy for 10 Euros :). Turned out great for me I used it to get to the party boat for the NYE party.
What a great party!! Met so many people and made new friends. Too bad I couldn't take more pics. I was a bit wasted before I got to the party as I started celebrating early.
Overall this was a excellent trip and I highly recommend visiting Amsterdam if you haven't already done so.

Well since others wrote about it, I thought I'd add my 2 cents. I didn't plan to go to the museum, stumbled across it while exploring the city. I thought I should visit at least one museum while in Amsterdam.

Cost 3 Euros to get in. It had about three or four floors. Each had statues, sex toys or what I assume were sex toys, pictures and even a movie room. Yeah I know what your thinking, free porn :). Well nothing was playing at the time and I didn't stick around to find out. So will never know..

They had old pages from the kama sutra and other old books, and weird historical stuff. I can't really say it was informative but it was unique. Something to do If you've already done everything else.

P.S and its a fun place to take pics :D
