Amsterdam

I have to say... I like Amsterdam. Everything here is so clean and efficient. Everyone here speaks a very high standard of English, and the city is extremely easy to navigate. Amsterdam is "the Venice of the north", and it does not take much to see why. The city was built when a farmer built a dam on the Amstel river... the the name Amsterdam. Much of the city is built on reclaimed land and small (and large) canals divide the city into nice and straight blocks. Here are a few pics of the canals...











Today we are going to hop on a train and head to another country....

Does "a very high standard of English" mean that they don't use the word..."ya'll"?
