Amsterdam, Amsterdam...



Finally came back from Holland... After 4 days of hitch-hiking, partying, travelling and meeting new people I am back in my Belgian home.
Great, great, great times... Amsterdam is so lovely for Queen's Day, that it makes you forget the tons of garbage left at the end of the party...Such an interesting mixture of cultures(some of them unfortunately only seeking prostitutes and weed) coming together in quite a small town. Amsterdam receives for Queen's Day almost three times its number of inhabitants from all over the world, which is why, at first, I was quite reticent whether I would like the party or not. In the end, it all proved to be more than spectacular. Nothing comparable to the small parties organized in my hometown for local celebrations.
Hitch-hiking from Steken(Belgian border) to MAsterdam, and from Amsterdam to Delft was a way of discovering once more that people are not all mean and reluctant to other people's problems. Punkers, businessmen, young mothers, youngsters, truckers... They all seemed to have a little bit of consideration for two girls just waving at cars on the edge of the highway...
And Holland...too beautiful to be described in words...
