Weekend in Amsterdam

On Saturday morning the CEEDers (Gwen, Zeno and me) and the SSGN board (people working on regional level of Spanish speaking countries; Cindy, Alejandra and Asier) went for a trip in Amsterdam.


If I should pick few things which got stuck in my mind, it would be:
> museums (e.g. Van Gogh M., National M., Madame Tussands M., Hash Marihuana Hemp M., Erotic M., Sex M.)
> water & canals (central station is in fact one big artificial island)
> red light district
> coffee shops (it is everywhere, unlike in Rotterdam)
> outdoor pissoires available on public places ("urinoars")


I remember this conversation between CEEDers that took place in a sex shop and that I've found quite funny:
C1: My god I didn't know it's possible!
C2: It's nasty.
C3: No, wait, this one is actually cool!

In trainees' shoes
I stayed overnight and visited a trainee party from where we moved to a club. It was a salsa club. Environment was the same as in any music club in Prague, they just played salsa. It was strange, having no other option, just quick salsa, slow salsa, very quick salsa, "tuc-tuc" salsa etc. Never mind, I practised salsa a little bit and then I went for freestyle:)
What is more important, it had a special value for me... since I'm already thinking about my traineeship preferably in Latin America, all insights into "latino" ways of entertainment as well as into the trainee life in general were extremely welcomed.

On Sunday, I had a chance to see the ordinary part of Amsterdam in parks, residential areas, even in the suburbs. Nice, calm city.
National museum in the picture is quite close to the centre.

Of course, the same way as in Rotterdam, I couldn't miss the opportunity to take a picture of Amsterdam's metro.
