Amsterdam!

Gisteren, ben ik met AFS Familie naar Amsterdam geweest.
Het was een heel tof dag!
We bezochten het Anne Frank museum, het theater en de bazaar.
Hier zitten de foto's van de reis..

Dat is van het muziek theater. Ik ben niet zeker welk muziek theater, omdat ik ken de naam niet.
Anyway, we didn't really watch a play or anything.. it was only a quick visit.

Ik zag op de straat interesant, grappig en enkele raar dingen.
By weird, I mean things that I would probably not find in Indonesia..


Bakfiets is an typical bike in Holland.

The second picture is a restaurant. The building has a medieval style.
Honestly, I can't remember in which part of Amsterdam are these buildings located, since the touring was in Dutch and I tried my hardest to listen and understand.. Not sure if I have a terrible memory, or just know nothing about it.

Ik zag een Heintje straat!
What is so special with this street?
Nothing. Its just that Heintje was my grandma favourite singer and I think my mom was also his fangirl.
Heintje was the only Dutch singer I know (except for Daniel Sahuleka, but he's actually Indonesian living in Holland).
Dus, wanneer ik las de naam van de straat...

Yup. This picture perfectly describes what popped in my head...

Do you want to know what other things that I found in Amsterdam?
Indonesische Restaurant!
Ik ben heel blij! Ik dacht, "OMGGG INDONESIAN OMFFGGGGG."
Ok, I exaggerated a little bit, but I'm still happy!

Thanks to my brazilian friend, Tàssya. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have noticed this.
We didn't eat there, we just passed through it but that's not a problem 'cause after that came the best part..
I met Indonesian people and talked to them!! There were two Indonesian guys and they are university students currently studying in Holland. I was too happy that when they ask if I can still speak in Indonesian, I can't think of a word and keep replying in English.

Though I did later speak in Indonesian, it was horrible!
I totally sounded just like Cinlau hahaha!!

Oh, I almost forgot!!
Ik ben ook naar de Wallen geweest!
Wat? Ik vind het..... crazy.
I mean with all the girls in each cabins against the glass wall...
Too bad pictures are not allowed.

It was a bit shocking when I witnessed an old guy walked into one of the cabin.
What is so wrong about it?
Well, the fact that he's VERY OLD! Old enough to have walking problems and uses a stick to help him, but not only that. He entered a cabin with a girl, which in my opinion, was really not attractive at all!
I mean, come on! If I were the old guy, I would've chosen better!!

Raya you judgemental jerk, maybe she doesn't have the look but what if he's into her personality?
Wrong. You don't pay someone to seduce you for their personality. Unless you talk a lot during the...
You know what? Forget this discussion. Never happened.
Here are other things that will not be found in Indonesia:


When we passed the condomerie, we saw that they have also condom in sizes..
Tàssya was like:
"Oh, look at the small sizes! It is so sad when someone have that size.."
I know right? Crazy Brazilian.. hahahaha!!

The Anne Frank Museum was really.... touching.
Again, we were not allowed to take pictures there..
There, I found the answer to one of my endless question.
The question:

"Why should we learn history? It's in the past and we should let go the past and move on!"
Me.
The answer:

"Om een toekomst op te bouwen, moet je het verleden kennen."
Otto Frank (1967).

Ok, the last picture is a bit random but when I saw this in Amsterdam it reminds me of one of the school subject I'm learning in Belgium.
Esthetica.


*P.S: sorry for the language mixing.. I need to learn writing in Dutch but I'm still a beginner so feel free to correct me, thank you!
