★ emilyccz: Amsterdam #2

Hello!!

I've posted about day 1 in Amsterdam. So it would be day 2 in Amsterdam today.

So this is our schedule:

1st stop: The famous Van Goh Museum

However we did not manage to enter as the queue outside is too long, too too long to queue especially we're only visiting for three days

2nd stop: The famous IAMsterdam signage? display?

To me, it's a must to take picture here cause #touristbeingtourist , if you don't take picture with that famous/significant display how are you gonna show people that you've been in Amsterdam before right??! *wink*

3rd stop: Some market

sorry I forgotten the name, I think its Albery Cuyp market, all I can remember it's walking distance to Heineken Experience. Another sad case here, when we reach the market, all the stalls are preparing to close already. (WTF!!)

4th stop: Heineken ~~Museum~~ Experience

Yes... It's a must for me (alcoholic/beer lover). Basically, my main motive of visiting the museum is not about understanding their history, but to custom-made my own Heineken bottle and to drink (obviously).

However, since this post is too long, I decided to dedicate another post about Heineken museum only. So nothing about beer factory today!

5th stop: Canalling (it is the right word for it? >=/)

I would say it's a must must activity when you're in Amsterdam. Because the view from the canal is so much nicer than from the road/land. And since Amsterdam have so many canals, why not try it right? =) Anyway, our canalling experience is part of the Heineken experience, so it's basically free!

6th stop: Meeting up with friends!

Finally, we can have the chance to meet up with our friends in Amsterdam. As I was saying in the previous post, my friend's uncle is quite strict, so after all the begging he finally let us out to be our friends for an hour! (WTF!! TWO HOURS???? better than none right? *self-pat*)

***

Anyway, just let the pictures do the talking while I'm trying to calm myself down ~~again~~ because mama is very agitated about this trip! I'm so gonna visit Amsterdam again and smoke all the weed and watch all the peep show~!!!!

Considered that I visited the museum already? LOL!

My best travel shoe! It has followed me to so many places... from KL to London to Europe.

Duh~! e for emilyccz

D for what? I'm not sure, but all I know I don't want to climb so high to pictures... so might as well squeeze into that whole right?

One of their "must try" dishes. Pickled Herring(raw).

Want to know about the taste? Look at my expression below.

Errr... Obviously I am not used to the taste. It is very fishy (obviously, since it's raw) and I couldn't finish everything. But I heard that everyone in Amsterdam loves it! Oh well~! different culture like different food right? I can't simply ask an Ang Moh to like to eat chicken feet or smelly taufu right?

Pofferjes.. its little pancakes covered icing/powdered sugar and some butter by the side. (I did not rub the butter with the pancakes thou, not really a fan of butter...)

All I could say this is HEAVEN FOOD!!! ( I miss it!!)

Last but not least, Stroopwafel ! Basically it's two thin waffle sandwich warm and runny caramel, and I had mine with extra chocolate topping. *yums*

(although you can simply get these in M&S, but this taste so much better when it's hot and warm)

I think this picture has the potential to become a postcard picture!! *more like self praise my own photo-taking skills* Hahaha!!

The space cupcake that we never get to eat!!!! Because uncle has kept it with him all the way and not letting us eat even when we're home. (grrrrrrrrr~~~~~~~!!!!)
