Can I Kick It?: Amsterdam...oh boy!

So im in Amsterdam! Its definatly been quite the expiriance here in Amsterdam...This place is different, different than ANY other city iv been to here in Europe.

Iv talked about bikes in all the other cities but here, bikes dominate. They say that one of the leading causes of deaths here in Amsterdam are bikes....getting HIT by bikes. Bikes certainly rule the streets here, a car, pedestrian, tram, scooter, anything that moves, will stop moving for a bike.

The buildings here and the architecture has a very unique difference that i have not yet seen in any other city here in Europe. From here they look pretty similar to houses you would see in an old part of Paris maybe, or London, or Salzburg. But you definatly cant see the difference in this picture and i doubt you can in anyother pictures i have of the buildings but the buildings are built as if they are about to fall forward. They slant inward and they all have hooks pretruding from the top of the roof, because the stairs are so narrow and windey that nothing big get up to the top floor, so what they do is string a rope through the hook at the top of the house and like a pully system they will pull the large furniture up to the top window and they are slanted inward so that if the furniture starts to swing it wont hit any of the windows leading up to the top floor . Clever, huh?

There are canals everywhere, they are in alot of my pictures and every picture with a canal in it, just know, the canal is a different canal everytime.

Bikes

A lil' bit of home. Unfortunatly this Meijer is not open 24 hours, nor is it supermarket...it looked like a hardware store...so i dont think i will be doing any late night trips to this Meijer while im here...I'll just have to wait till i get home for that!
