3/4/08: Surviving Amsterdam – 2nd Day

Keukenhoff
Amsterdam ArenA
Van Gogh Museum

The places I visited today.

Keukenhoff - the most beautiful garden on earth

Amsterdam ArenA - you are welcome to guess what this place is and

Van Gogh Museum - literally speaking, the place where they keep Van Gogh masterpiece, including the famous Sunflower

Out of 10, I give 9 in term of satisfactory. The single point deducted because I was too late to jump on board of canal tour boat. Damned.

2/4/08-Surviving Amsterdam – 1st Day

Arrived at Amsterdam-Schiphol 5 minute past 7 am, Amsterdam time. Past the immigration without any hassle and then lost inside the airport searching for a place to keep my big bag. I must say, compare to KLIA, this airport is nothing.
Took a train to Amsterdam-Centraal, a place that the function is more or less the same with our KL Sentral, hence the name. Problem was, didn’t know where to go, and the only information in my hand was the street where the Annemarie Hotel located, Jim Wandstraat and this place is about 200 m away from the famous Van Gogh Museum.
So, decided to go to the Van Gogh museum by boarding on Tram no 5. Stop at Museumplein and after 10 minutes or so, found the place. Arrived quite early, so the room still not ready. Had a conversation with the owner and found out that this place is popular among Malaysians. The owner is Moroccan Muslim, and he got infos how to get a halal pizza. That’s great, I solved my tonight's dinner dilemma

 

1/4/08 – 12.41 am: Journey to the West

I wrote this at KL. At that day, still I didn't have a blog, hence today I published it here..

Life is very unpredictable, at least for me. Never in my wildest dream, I will set my foot in countries that once occupied my beloved country, Malaysia, considering I am not a straight A’s student. But, when tomorrow comes, I will start my journey to the west countries, starting from Netherlands and then to the UK.
