day 2 of amsterdam anddddd loving it


so far we have had an amazing time in amsterdam. we've met a ton people and made lots of friends. the culture here is so different. the city has all of these parts that are wide open and beautiful. the canals are everywhere with boats and very scenic. amsterdam has lots to offer, including history, tradition, culture and overall goodtimes. we went on a walking tour today and saw any interesting things in amsterdam and also took a bunch of pictures as good memories. at this point, we have alot of pictures and memories, so its getting tough to write everything that we are doing on the blog. we hope all of our friends and family are enjoying are stories, pictures and jokingly ways of describing our journey. the 3 of us are having an overall great time, the hostel we are at is god and we have 3 other roomates, whom we are friends with now. the 3 romates are jeff who is from taiwan, rick who is from columbia and laura is from argentina. whats interesting most about amsterdam is that its my first time at a real hostel. in france we stayed at mikes place..its barcelona we stayed at mikes friends place cornelia and now we are really doing the hostel experience. its important to note the incredible shabbat dinner we had last night in a part of amsterdam called abcoude. we had shabbat dinner at mikes families place. they were great hosts, very hospitable and curteous. its so nice to have met such a good and kind jewish family in europe. this is all so new to me, exploring the world is definitly what its cracked up to be. learning about amsterdam through many different ways such as people living there, tour guides, other tourists (which there are tons) and exploring on our own gives me such a new perspective on europe and how things are hetre. i cant deny enjoying it because life out here definitly different and has its appeals. anyways, we are in amsterdam for another 2 days and are off to prague shortly. mike's friend tomas in prague has really set up an itinerary for us and its looking like prague is going to be incredible. a little shout out to my family who are keeping up with this blog, love you lots and miss you, thinking of you always. cant forget a shout out to my friends and the families of alex and mike, thank you for keeping up with our blog and cant wait to tell the stories and show the pics of our trip. most importantly, joyce, i love you very much and i am thinking about you always. all the best and i'll be blogging again shortly :)

  1. I wrote you a long private msg on facebook, but thank you for the shout out. love you lots and i love reading your blog. It's the first thing i do when i wake up with my morning coffee or afternoon coffee depending on when i wake up lol. I have been sleeping in quite often now, seeing as i go to bed at 2,3, or 4 in the morning. I'm glad your getting the full hostel experience now and i am glad to hear that all of you are having fun and being safe. I would just like to say hi to mike and alex as well and am glad you guys are having fun.
