Amsterdam.

Quick update of what I did during the Easter Break.


Went to Amsterdam for 4 days with friends (:

The kitchen of the apartment we rented.
Stairs to go upstairs. All the stairs in Amsterdam were really narrow and scary :/
Main mode of transport in Amsterdam. So many around!
A cafe we chanced upon while walking in the city. Had one of the best Red Velvet cakes I've ever tasted.
Canal cruising (:
Before I fell asleep for a while from the 1 hour long ride -_-"
Dam square.
Essentials. Bought the guidebook from the book flea market (:
Cool stuff on sale in the flea market.
Yummy Indonesian food for lunch before going to Keukenhof. Gado-gado.
Delicious satay chicken with peanut sauce.
With JiaXin and Jason! (:
Petting a dragon in Keukenhof park (:
The pretty tulips. Most weren't blooming yet cos the weather is still too cold. *bummer* :(
So excited when I saw this. How cool is this? A tulip breed named after my country! Too bad the weather back home is unsuitable to grow tulips.
100 over breeds. Like a flower heaven :D
My favourite thing about Amsterdam- The AMAZING Stroopwaffle (that's a waffle sliced thinly in the middle stuffed with caramel sauce)
Heineken's from Holland. I DID NOT know this before the trip.
Housemate and his free beer!
Delicious chocolate tart in a random cafe (: Everything seems to taste good.
Lastly, the boy enjoying his Dutch french fries. The fries in Holland are actually really really yummy!

And that's the end of my short, but extremely fun and memorable trip to Amsterdam. Back to the labs tomorrow :(
