It was great to arrive to Amsterdam after 12 hour flight from Japan. It felt like I was back to a normal world. However, going from Japan to Netherlands is like going from a midget land to a giant land. I had no idea Dutch people are so tall.
People in Amsterdam knows how to chill. I've never been to a city where it has such relaxed atmosphere. It was a great stop over to go between two extreme countries; Japan and Israel. A walk in the Vondel Park was extremely enjoyable, as well as window-shopping at these funky stores near Dam square.
Only thing it was tough for me in Amsterdam was the food. It was especially tough coming from Japan , a food heaven. I mean how many toast and sandwiches can you have?
Have checked out Van Gogh and Rembrandt Museum. It was great seeing their original pieces.
