After countless nights of debating, accompanied by what some might consider straight arguing, my three lovely roommates and I were finally able to come to a concrete decision on traveling to Amsterdam! Why Amsterdam? Well why not! What can possibly be better than spending a week in a city rich with history yet overwhelmingly diverse and modern.
Amsterdam holds a very special place in my heart. It is the first foreign city I ever stepped into. No, I wasn’t there for a visit. I was merely changing a train and carrying 44 kg of luggage and heading towards Maastricht , the city of my student years. So, technically speaking, Amsterdam is the first foreign city I set foot in (Schiphol doesn’t count)…Obviously, later I returned several times and was able to enjoy this matchless city, a city of art and also of sex, a perfect example of the 17th century architecture but also the place where marijuana is legal, a city with both liberal and libertine views…A city where Walloon ladies enjoy special exhibitions at Rijksmuseum and where rednecks across the pond (from England) come for15 minutes of sex on 50 € with the girls displayed at the windows …
It is a paradox – Holland is probably the only European country which does not mark the Labour Day, however, only one day before, on April 30th, Amsterdam hosts one of the biggest and wildest open-street parties in Europe – the Queen’s Day… A trip to Amsterdam for the Queen’s Day is always worth if you love parties
Do you know which the city where I struggled to find interesting and cool places and things for free is? London? No way … Paris? Not even close… I think that even in super-expensive cities such as Monte Carlo you can find 5 things to do for free … Well, this in Amsterdam, the Netherlands’ no. 1 tourist attraction… Why is that? And then I remembered … Well, all the Dutch are known to be thrifty. If most of the Europeans say that the Scots are thrifty, well, it is likely that actually the Dutch have the most difficult-to-open wallet … And yet, I somehow managed, to identify five things to do for free in Amsterdam.
Romania is a country with a rich history and diverse culture, and there are many things to see and do. Some of the most popular tourist attractions include:
The minimum wage in the UK comes up to around £10.10. This means that in a year, you can expect to get paid £25,600. That’s a little more than £2,000 per month. Considering these rates, it’s highly understandable why the UK is the first choice of many immigrants when it comes to work purposes.
It goes without saying that Canada is home to some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. No matter where you are in the second-largest country in the world, there is never a shortage of breathtaking sights to be seen.
Defined by its lush tea plantations, misty hills, gushing streams, cascading waterfalls and salubrious weather, Munnar is a picture-perfect hill station in the Kerala state of India. It draws not only domestic tourists but hordes of international holidaymakers as well, who come for a respite from the scorching South Indian heat and to feast their […]
Who among us hasn’t come home after a long, hard day at work and said “Man, I need a vacation.” Unfortunately, we don’t always have the time or the money for a full-blown getaway.
