Netherland-My Euro Trip @ August 2008

There's no night train at Taiwan and I really want to take night train in Euro.There're 2 choices ,choose Prague or Munich after Vienna tour.All low price tickets of Munich-Amsterdam were sold out so that I decided to visit Prague.

CNL night train is very comfortable.You can lie on the bed , listen music, and see the scenery through window at the same time.Listening my favorite song "Meaning of Travel", I was also thinking the meaning of my Euro travel.

Finally,I arrived Amsterdam after passing by Berlin.There're many canals and buildings with different gables in Amsterdam.You can tell when the building was builded by observing it's gable.I walked around randomly and then I saw a "Purple cow".There're many street artists in sight-seeing places.But this one was very different.He costumed as if he was the Sith Lord Darth Vader. Every child ,even any adult, will love to take picture with him,right?

After  first day in Amsterdam,I took a train to Haarlem. Anouk drove me to the beach and we walked her dogs together.Wind is very very strong and there're only wind-surfers on the beach!One day I and Tommy walked on the street in Leiden,we meet Tommy's friend.

Tommy asked his friend "Why did your long hair become crew cut now?"

He answered "Because of Netherland's wind".

It's funny ,isn't it?

After visiting Van Gouh museum,I saw this family stoped at traffic light. The woman agreed with my photo request.What a wonderful bicycle it is!You can drive your little babies and it's rain-proof. I told her there're no such bicycles in Taiwan,and she said there will be in Taiwan,soon.

My friend, Sanne, gave me her hand-made Lonely Planet Book about Leiden. If you visit Leiden,don't forget Rapenburg and BLT sandwhich.
