Amsterdam
It was a totally random trip. I was sent to do some work for my company in Dusseldorf, Germany and since it is Monday to Wednesday, I asked my boss if they could book the ticket for me a little earlier (on Friday) so that I can have the weekend in mainland Europe. After some discussion with my colleague, we decided to spend a couple of days in Amsterdam, which is only 2 hours by train from Dusseldorf with the ICE.
Amsterdam is a very nice and flat city with a lot of canals (at least that's the impression I get from looking at the google map). Since the business trip was planned with very short notice, this Amsterdam trip was not really planned that well. The whole idea was to just walk around and visit a few places while enjoying the food.
Of course, the first thing that came to our mind about Amsterdam is its red light district. We found it on the map but we were not really looking for it since we were both married. However, we did manage to stumble upon it at night. I didn't want to get beat up by people so I just took a picture of the general area: (notice the swans at the canal, they were suppose to represent purity and yet they are swimming in the middle of the world famous sex district).
The morning after we went to visit the Heineken brewelry and it was well worth my 15 Euro. Heineken is my favorite beer which makes this visit extra meaningful:
Other than that we have also enjoyed some nice Indonesian food.
We stayed there for about 30 hours, it's definitely a place I would visit again when I have more time on hand.

羊膶哩條死產又廢噏。之前話拆咗沙田文化館,作為新科學館址,騰空尖沙咀尖學館址做國情館,我已經不以為然,係咪癲架,加個國情館要郁依家好地地嘅兩個館?哩條北街冇腦,亂黎已經去到無以復加的地步。
要起國情館,咪揾塊地咯,西九大把地喇,多到話要賣地去支付天價高管人工同營運費。依家只係一個起館嘅工程。但哩條躝癱竟然要...
