Carla, Jeannie, Sarah & I took train to Amsterdam after the training on friday( Feb 5, 2010). The distance between Leuven and Amsterdam is about 164KM, but then we took more than 3 hours to reach Amsterdam. We had our train changed in Antwerpen. At Amsterdam central station, Sarah's friend, Charl was there waiting for us. He was our tour guide for that night. He took us to one of the local bar, Wynand Fockink and welcome us with dutch liquors. After having our dinner, Charl took us to "The Red Light District". It was really an eye-opening experience. Prositution is legal in Netherland. All the sex workers dressed in sexy lingerie standing behind red illuminated windows, trying to flirt with the pass-by visitors. I saw some man even asking for price from one room to another!!! Amazed by the scenes, I wanted to share this with my friends when back to Malaysia, I took out my camera and quickly snapped a photo. Flash came from my camera, ooopss!! I forgot to switch off the flash!! Immediately, the prostitute pointed at me and shouted angrily. I was really terrified at that moment. I pretend nothing happened and walk away quickly. I quickly deleted the photo in my camera and stay close to my friends. What a experience I had in Amsterdam!!
On the next day, Carla and I visited Madamme Tussaud & Sex Musuem. We took a lot of pictures in Madamme Tussoud. We spent a bit of time on shopping too. Shopping in Amsterdam is cheaper than Leuven. Due to we had not much time left, we did not manage to visit The Anne Frank House. We took train back to Leuven. Netherland, I'll be back to visit you again!! See you soon~~
Canal night view.
This is public urinals for men, found nearby the red light district. The red light district is filled with bars that serve beers than anything else. So, this is built for men to relieve themselves instead of againts whichever corner or wall of the shops or house~~~ I think this is more civilized than people who pee on the trees or drain!!
@Wynand Fockink, you have to bend down and sip before you can bring this glass away from the table~~~
