not for everyone, but right for some

Now that i fixed my blogging problems: here is a paste of a prewritten blog about Amsterdam:


A few words on Amsterdam: don't go if you are easily offended by things that are not typically permitted in America. The city is filled with people who come to enjoy theses activites, so don't expect to be completely surrounded by anything less than drugs, sex, and alcohol at all times of the day. Even at museums, you will spot at least a few people who have obviously indulged in the typical amsterdam activities beforehand. Multiple times we saw people on drugs completely out of their mind, dancing in the streets, cursing out walls, or tying to sell you cocaine. Aside from Amsterdams oddities, it really is a great city. The streets are charming, and the muesums are world famous. We visited the Ann Frank house, which is the original hide out of her family and another family, during the nazi occupation. It was really interesting, but I had never read her diary, so I was a bit clueless. While we were in the Ann Frank house, I missed my train, but luckily part of our group was staying until the morning, so it wasn't a big problem. The only problem occured once we got back to duesseldorf. We got a little disoriented and managed to go the wrong way on the s-baun, so we ended up being 2.5 hours late to the first day of school. Oops! But I dont think we missed much that couldnt be made up.
