I amsterdam

Amsterdam – home of canals, tulips, and heineken beer…not to mention the BICYCLE! Woohoo – this city is great – so cool with the canals and great parks – everything is so green!
Also, Josh Oh and I went to the public library…and I have to say, it was AWESOME. Now call me a complete nerd, but this library was inspirational. Fantastic new-age art, a piano with an old man playing jazz (but open to anyone who plays piano), circular book cases, work stations everywhere, cafes, and the best part – you don’t have to whisper! I might move to Amsterdam and just live in the library. If only I could.

Lights...camera...awesome. Public Library

Circular shelves - this one is all movies.

Kids section. Makes me want to be a kid again - just for this library.

Flowers - one of the signature items of the Netherlands. Vondelpark

Borrowed Josh's bike and found these gardens in Vondelpark.

Cruisin' the canals.

Public Library - AKA Public Cool-brary
|
Old old church. I think it was built in the 1600's - cool wooden roof.
|
Canals, Churches, and leaning buildings.
|
Josh Oh blows a huge bubble in the Nemo museum. It's an awesome interactive museum - I learned a ton about science from that place...more than I ever did studying for years in school... :( but whatever...
|
Logo Progression - More than anything, this beer's brand is impressive - and worldwide!

Bird's Eye View
|
For Amsterdam's traditional architectural sake.
Hooks are to move furniture and pianos to the top floors.
