Amsterdam Netherlands
“First time in Netherlands?” asked us the officer in the passport counter.
“Yes” said Atzva.
“Second” say I.

I don’t read books twice, don’t see movies twice, don’t go twice to a museum.
I prefer not to go twice to the same trip – unless there is a good reason for it.

What is the good reason to go twice to Amsterdam?
Sex,
Drugs
And rock n’ roll

=)

Take Care

P.s.
In Hebrew we called the Netherlands by the name Holland. Which is the name of two provinces in Netherlands =)
Anyway, Amsterdam is in one of those provinces, so it isn’t a mistake to say we have been to Holland =P
