Amsterdam Day One - In the day

We left Rouen for Paris on Wednesday afternoon to settle some issues on our Qatar Airticket.. it was settled beautifully and if all goes well i should be on the May 10th flight for home.
Our bus to Amsterdam, Eurolines, left at approx 11pm on Wednesday night and slated to arrive in Amsterdam at about 6am the following morning. Bus ride was a bitch.. we had a bunch of really noisy mexicans sitting behind us who talked the whole 7 hours.. fang n cherysa had to endure bad BO frm someone infront of them.. and the whole journey was fraught with interruptions... somewhr in Belgium we had a security check and the cute officer couldn't believe i was the same person as the me in my passport.. confusing hor.. i also couldn't believe my ears when he asked me "is this really you?"... like DUH... do i look brave enough to travel on a fake passport? im how humji can... go n ask my friends they'll tell u...

We arrived at Amstel station finally! and went to take the metro to Central station to catch Tram 4 or 9 to reach RembrantPlein where our hostel 'The Veteran' was located!


A nice cosy place with dangerously steep staircases and suspicious woollen blankets.. but they had a big TV and bathtub.. so i aint' complaining! besides the owners were a nice chinese couple who offered delicious breakfasts every morning and they didnt mind us da bao-ing food out! haha..

Finally got to our rooms... dumped our things and headed out again after having rested abit.

Wandered the streets abit, came across a Sex Museum! Entry was at 3 euros! walau must go check it out man!! haha.. yes at the end of it.. we were kinda grossed out by the time we left the place... but it was an eye-opener.. ivy has more photos.. i was just too engrossed in the private collection photos from 1930s-now to bother whipping out the camera hahaha!

Here is Rosh checking out the Telephone Sex haha.. see her expression damn hilarious lol..

And this is a chastity belt! i declare it the worst invention ever cos women actually die from wearing that frigging thing.. they get tetanus or some sick disease frm the metal rusting.. urgh.. sick..


Headed to De Zaan region to check out this windmill place that's apparently a must-go : Zaanse Schans where 800 windmills used to be cramped there 250 years ago.. but when we visited we only saw bout 5 or 6 windmills there.. the wind was strong n we were freezing but we ate hell alot of cheese at their cheese factory haha.. sort of settled lunch there lol...the cheese was really fantastic but a bit they only have one month shelve life so i can't buy it home.. sighs it was damn yummy..



I dont haf alot of photos so make do! haha...
