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.
