Amsterdam Netherlands....finally

So after the whirlwind adventure through spain, france and italy, i finally made it to Amsterdam!!! I've been in Holland for about 4 months and I never visited Amsterdam until now!!! How sad right?? but I went...and its a pretty sweet city! (way nicer than Eindhoven.... ) Went to the Albert Cuypstreet market...(not that impressive), Heineken Museum, and the Museumplein. I am totally going to go again so that i can visit Anne Frank House, Van Gogh Museum, Leidensplein ... etc etc. sooo if anyone wants to go with me... let me know when!!!! I'll be here until July 2009!!!!! :)
The Museumplein reminded me of Harold & Kumar 2. It was exactly as depicted in the movie!!!! (i guess there is SOME truth in movies.... hahaha) the heineken musuem was awesome- it is totally worth a visit!!!! it was reallly neat to see how they make beer and learn about the history of heineken. they have some awesome "hands-on" activities for visitors.

I think my 2 fav cities in Holland are Amsterdam and Den Haag. Maybe my opinion will change after I've gone a few more times... as I've heard a lot of local dutch people don't really like Amsterdam (they claim its too toursity). Here are a few pictures of amsterdam:
