I cant belief that im only continue on my Europe trip post now =="
Morning in Amsterdam, we are joining a day tour, before the tour begin, we head out for breakfast at the local cafe
with SJ
and me~
our breakfast~
finish eating and while waiting for the tour to begin, we saw this Taxi, its a Mercedes~ so nice right~ Taxi driver is driving Mercedes!
Our first tour of the day is a City Tour on a bus, bringing us around the city, listen to all their interesting history~ We happened to pass by Van Gogh Museun, and queue at the entrance is super long!
We stop by at this windmill, which we already been here before during the bike tour
There is a reason why is there so many windmill in Netherlands, coz its extremely windy!
nice view
Another things that is famous in Amsterdam, is DIAMOND! well Amsterdam used to be the world largest Diamond Trade Center, and here got all the world class diamond polisher~
we are visiting Gassan Diamond factory, they are one of the famous diamond factory in Amsterdam
there is live demonstration of diamond polishing work right infront of us
There is also a guide telling us about the history of the diamond, as well as the basic knowledge that we should know about diamond
morning city tour ended around lunch hour, we arrived back in the centre for lunch, and wait for our afternoon tour to begin~
picturesque view of Amsterdam
there is still some time till our 2nd tour of the day, we was wondering around the area, and decided to pay a visit at the Sex Museum~
Shy~
well not much photo taken in the Sex Museum, only with some really interesting object...
honestly... what the hell is this made for???!!
and a super giant dick chair wtf
there is lots of story about some famous people that we know, and one of them is about Marilyn Monroe being tricked by this photographer to shoot her nude photos!
we was inside the sex museum for about 1 hour, its already 2pm after finish browsing the whole museum~
there is this kind of dilemma when Im in there.. the wind is blowing so strong and cold, but the big hot sun is up there shining, make me kind of like having this love-hate feeling to the sun.. its so warm to stay under the sun, yet its so harmful to my skin >.<
The moving rock man
First about Amsterdam is Windmill, then is Diamond, the afternoon tour im going for is for the 3rd things represent Netherlands~~
