Amsterdam

In Amsterdam -- After returning from the front lines, I took a tour bus to

Amsterdam yesterday. It was very interesting. Quite different than
Kabul, and a lot more relaxing.

I was really impressed with the canals and architecture, but for me the easiest way to get around was by bike.

Amsterdam is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world and is a centre of bicycle culture with good facilities for cyclists such as bike paths and bike racks.In the city centre, driving a car is discouraged. Parking fees are expensive, and many streets are closed to cars or are one-way.

The most important museums of Amsterdam are located on het Museumplein (Museum Square), located at the southern side of the Rijksmuseum.
