As promised here are the photos from my recent trip to Amsterdam.
I think that this city is one of the most relaxing / liberal / friendly places I have ever visited. I really enjoyed my week here. It’s one of those cities where I could Imagine living, but I always say that about anywhere I visit. I always come away from a city trip re-invigorated and inspired to create! I suppose that’s why I want to live in the places I visit.
The best way to see this city is by bike, and oh sweet Jesus are there a lot of em about (400k in the city alone, which means walking can become quite a tricky and dangerous excercise.)
I stumbled across a fantastic little bookshop called Mendo in the heart of the old city. Anway I got chatting to the owner (by the way EVERYONE in Holland seems to speak English) and he remcommended a rather great book Called ‘Amsterdam: Style City’, which has photos and the locations of all the coolest / chicest places in amsterdam. He knows the photographer of this book and he told me in great detail what a lucky bastard he is… the photographer gets paid to eat / sleep / live and breath in the most stylish cities on earth, and all he has to do is take nice pictures!! Lucky man, I would like a job like that. As you can tell I’m just a little jealous.
Anyway enjoy the photos.
