Study Abroad Update #2

I just came back from my weekend trip to Amsterdam and Bruge and I have to say it was an interesting experience. While in Amsterdam, I tried a cake and I was tripping out like no other. It actually kind of ruined my afternoon as I was pretty much in a different world the entire time and I couldn't focus on anything. However, when I wasn't tripping out (which was the rest of the time), I had some time to take in the sights and I have to say that there is something unique about Amsterdam. If we were to take out the drugs and sex out of the equation, Amsterdam has this unique vibe that is really hard to describe. I don't think it would be a place I would want to visit with my parents but I don't know if I would want to for fun either because it's one of those places that attracts tourists with weed as the main attraction and I'm not much of a smoker. On the other hand, the trip to a traditional Dutch village with windmills was a fun place to visit. The clog museum was fun and I got to see how clogs were made. The second museum was a cheese factory and it had all you can sample/eat cheese. The cheese was freaking amazing and I was really close to buying some cheese but I didn't have enough money. *Sigh*

One of the many windmills....

After leaving the village, our tour stopped at Bruge on the way back to the UK. The city was breath-taking. Bruge had some of the best sights I have seen so far. The city had a very lively, retro feel and the architecture was amazing. But the thing I enjoyed the most there was the waffles and chocolates. I would definitely want to come back to Bruge and spend more time there. The time we spent there was not enough time to visit all the sights that I wanted to visit but at the same time I feel lucky enough to even have the chance to visit such awesome city.

Bruge.

Finals week is upon me and I must study now...no more playing around. Darn.
