Boarded Stena Line cruise to The Netherlands. The cruise is super super big. But only 2-3levels available for us. Hehe.
They have restaurants, small casino, duty free shopping, etc, etc. The staffs were very friendly. We got to visit the truck drivers' lounge. Hehe. The food there are all free for the truck drivers.

After 7-9hours of cruise, we reached the port and from there we took train to Rotterdam and then to Amsterdam.
Amsterdam--derived from the word Dam in the river of Amstel. So put it together you got Amsterdam.
The roads are all small and narrow in Amsterdam. Oh, not all..The road at Damstraat is considered wide. Haha.
The canals. Amsterdam is called the Venice of the north.
Pics, pics, pics...
Walked all the way to Dam Square.
Dam Square...
Too bad, the palace is under construction. Not much nice picture of the palace.
Red Light District in noon
Had lunch at an Indonesian Chinese Restaurant near Red light District. Ordered Babi Panggang.
Then we walked to Damstraat and we entered into the sex museum. 4euros only for the entrance fee.
The St Nicholas Church.
And then we strolled into Zeedjik.. The Amsterdam's Chinatown.
Me in the wooden clog..
Came out at night to visit Red Light District. Hehe
The Red light...
The famous place in red light district with swans in the canal. Heh.
I think everyone should know that we are not allowed to take pictures of the prostitutes. Hehe. They don't like it.
The prostitutes rent a box in Red Light District to conduct their biz.. You will see pretty pretty girls in bikinis waiting for you in their box. Lol.
Went to Sanderman's free tour the next day. The tour is free and they conduct their tour on tips only basis.
The tour is very informative and available in many languages. We of course chose the English guide. Hehe.
From Dam Square the guy brought us to visit the Red Light District to show us how it is like in daylight. And story us when the Red Light District all started the business.
And there's an Old Church (Oude Kerk in their language) just beside the Red Light District. The church used to sell letter of forgiveness. Because those sailors last time have no time to confess their sin and therefore they buy the letter straight from the church. It's also said that the priest had mistresses. Therefore the Church is located there. Ooooo. Interesting story isn't it.
This pic was taken near the Oude Kerk.
The Dutch's East India Company. The picture above is the headquarter of Dutch East India company. First company that introduce share market. And they were so clever in diversification of risk.
Cheesyyy shop
Does this bar look familiar to you? This bar was screened in Hollywood movie Ocean Twelve. Hehe. And the bar won award for the best canabis coffee for few times I supposed.
The floating flower market
The Magere Brug. Also called the skinny bridge.
It's near the Van Gogh Museum for your information.
End of my post..LOL
