Glimpse of Europe - Day 1

The 1st place that I visited is Holland or known as Netherland. It is the most densely populated countries in the world as there are more than 16 million ppl in this country. I had visited one of the city in Holland, which is Amsterdam. There are a few activities 'waiting' for us on that day..



One of the activity is pay a visit to traditional wooden clog and cheese farm. V are glad to hav a tall guys and a multi-language man to explain for us the making of traditional clog and cheese. oh ya, there is a free testing on the cheese.. At this moment, i still miss the taste of the cheese that i tried.. Besides, i had visited the Gassan Diamond Factory as well. FYI, Amsterdam has been known as the City of Diamonds. During the factory tour, v get to know the grinding technique of the diamonds, the type of the diamond, knowledge on the cutter and polisher of the diamond, the Gassan 121- its diamond cut constitute of 121 facets, which result in optimal reflective properties.

After that, v had been arranged to tk a cruise on the glass domed canal cruise seeing Amterdam. It cost abt 8 euro each person. At the night, we walked through the Red Light District and i think most of the guys open their eye as BIG as possible.. haha:) There are over 200 windows with girl in sexy lingerie to lure you inside.. Amterdam is notorious with its Red Light District. Prostitution is a legal profession in this country. It is a oldest profession in the world and instead of criminalizing it, the Netherlands accepted it as a legal profession. Do u know that the prostitutes had to pay tax as well???

After that, v proccced to a chinese restaurant and v had 6 dishes and one soup for our dinner. Besides, the hotel that v stayed for that night is the BEST hotel v ever had for the rest of 12 night in our trip, it is called Tulip Inn Leiderdorp.
