Cosmopolitan City

Amsterdam is a very unique city with all sorts of quirky concepts such as marijuana cafes and of course the red light district where sex is peddled in the front windows of small houses.
There is of course the marijuana cafes where they sell all manner of cannabis products…namely cookies and cakes etc…cool.
We also went to visit Anne Franks house however the queue was very long and there were so many other things to see.
I someone asked me to summarize Amsterdam in the short time we were there I would say: Bikes, Canals, Sex Shops and Cafes.
I noticed that lots of the homes in the city were two to three storeys and had a beam protruding from the roof just before the roof tiles.
I asked the guide what that was for and he said that most houses have these so that they can move furniture in and out as apparently the doorways are very narrow.
Pretty smart and we were able to see this in action.Meer informatie
