Photos \ Amsterdam
I went to Amsterdam for the weekend (January 10th 2009) with 2 friends from Australia doing their whole Eurotrip shing ding. We got up at 3am for our 6:30am flight to end up at the hostel at 11am... we were tired! I managed to take a few shots while still coherent.

Looking from a bridge down the canal. I converted this into a retro 70's style image to help give it character.

I overheard one of the locals saying that this was the first time in 10 years that a canal has completely frozen over, enough to ice skate on.

China Town in Amsterdam is very small, only about 1 or 2 streets worth.

A wider angle view of the bicycles parked outside the train station; kinda reminds me of The Simpsons when they went to Itchy & Scratchy Land.

There were so many bikes, and they all looked the same. I don't know how anyone would locate their own.
