A cultural weekend in Amsterdam

Time came around that another opportunity brought me again to Amsterdam. While the last visit had more of an reflective aspect, this time around the weekend was spend on the cultural aspects. Though I guess the more major difference on this trip was the fact that I was not alone. 

Basically two of my friends asked me if I want to tag along and enjoy the time there together. After a bit of thinking (it took around one minute unfortunately) I decided to join, throwing away my worries and plan to save up some money. I am still not taking this 'new' goal serious enough to make it happen straight away. There are still nibbling concerns that I should take a different route in life. But enough of the ramble, here is some insight of my second visit in Amsterdam.

A reflective weekend in Amsterdam

Time has come and I've done another short trip across the channel to the Netherlands, this time to the city called Amsterdam. Usually when doing a bit of research for trips I check online on wiki travel, it has all the basics I need. All remaining information I gather from friends like places to go and food to try. I pretty much gave up on lonely planet, it looked more and more like a waste of money as I was barely using it on trips. Surely it is handy, but in today’s time pointless as all the information are available online and with Wifi around everywhere it is as well accessible at any time. Here I don't even care about having a map. If I do need one, they are usually available in the hostels or tourist information centre. But who knows, maybe one day I get all nervous again without a map.
