May 15th, 2008- Amesterdam Day 2

This day, Amy and i went to Anne Frank's House, which was really powerful. We saw the annex, it was really small. I actually passed behind the staircase. It was insane. There is no furniture because the nazis took everything and her dad felt it wouldnt be right to put false furniture in. Everything was so mindblowing. Then we walked through the flower market... which was more bulbs then flowers, got salads, ate them in the Dam (the central square in amsterdam) and then met up with Jamie!! He led us around and we walked and walked through all sorts of neighborhoods.... its awesome how you can be in busy area and then walk around the corner and get into a quaint area... its beautiful. We saw where he lives... next to the gay square in amsterdam. Then we had reallly good thai food in Jordaan. and walked back to the hostel for our coasts and jamie walked us through the red light district which was really awkward because there are almost naked women in windows. and theyre real and its so awkward.... rumor is that if you take pictures... the bouncers will through you and your camera into the canal. so we didnt take pictures. it was quite funny tho and really awkward. Jamie introduced us to these fantastic cookies that are basically little waffles and syrup. Amazing... amy and i bought extra to take back to the Uk with us. We sat for some drinks and then jamie went back to the other city he was staying in. (ADD... hehe)
