Amsterdam

My first train ride alone was to Amsterdam to meet my friends from high school last weekend. I had a marvelous time- the most marvelous time of my life perhaps. When I arrived, I caught the tram (street car) to the hostel. The hostel was disgusting because it was mixed (male and female), 8 bunks, and dirty. 55 euro a night, expensive huh? Taylor, Adelina, and Natalie were in the room waiting for me. I was really happy to see familiar faces that I have a history with. We went to a coffee shop first, of course.
Coffee shop experience was a memorable one. You walk out of the coffee shop like you just committed some kind of crime, it is bizarre. Majority of the people inside are men, go figure.
At night, we went to the Red Light District. It is a must-see! The women stand behind glass cases in underwear and pretend to be models, they even suck their cheeks in- the ones on their face. We walked along in awe, giggling like little girls.
