Amsterdam
A week ago Saturday/Sunday:
BNA ->* EWR -> AMS -> Centraal Station -> Waterlooplein
This past Saturday:
Waterlooplein -> Centraal Station -> AMS -> EWR -> DCA
Tomorrow:
BWI -> BNA
* The flight from Nashville to Newark was on the smallest airplane I've ever been on. Except for that one time when I was flying a crop duster over a stone quarry. Oh wait. That was a dream.
A list of some of the things I learned while in Amsterdam. That is, the non AIED stuff. That's for another time.
- Being alone in a wonderful foreign city is exciting for the first 4 or 5 hours. Then you get lonely. Actually, I think it's more like you get hungry, and then you go someplace to eat by yourself, and then you get lonely.
- Sneltram means subway. At first, I thought it was the name of the stop. I kept thinking... this is the biggest metro station ever. It spans about 10 blocks!
- You have to pay extra for ketchup.
- Bicycles are cool.
- Having 7 modes of transportation in a city is even cooler.
- Chinese people speaking Dutch is uber-cool
