Hey hey haha.. another gd piece of advice.. pls do not buy any drinks from any of the souvenior shops or "mama shops" the price difference is really huge from this grocery stall Albert Heijn haha.. A traveller's best friend. No worries about the location, it has several outlets located around amsterdam...
Can u imagine.. a bottle of 1.5 litre mineral water is 3EUR at the mama shop wheares Albert Heijn sells only EUR 0.69.. its almost 5 times the difference.. so pls tink twice if you want to buy any drinks to quench your thirst haha..




I really like buildings in Amsterdam.. they have really nice designs, that we can't really find in Singapore.. Juz take a walk and enjoy the architecture..



OOooooo this is the I amsterdam card u muz get.... Really a bargain if u were to move ard amsterdam.. I juz found out the canal cruise itself already cost EUR12.50. Museum cost abt EUR5.50.. there is a list of 20+ museums tat u can visit for free... on top u get some discount vouchers for food and other museums.. by the way, juz learnt it from someone tat we can do an online booking for time slot for the museum so u dun haf to queue... but when u are there and moving ahead of long lines, juz say u're going for a meeting... ppl will be damn angry if u told them u arranged an online reservation haha... another gd tip...



Haha while shopping @ the Albert Cuyp Market haha my friend took a pic of this male "nun" haah getting tourists to sing wif him haha.. pretty interesting sight...


Hahah.. ooo ya going back to this dark knight... they are pretty alert on ppl taking pics of them.. if u din pay them, they won't allow pics to be taken haha... juz like the above when my friend tried to take....



wow to tink tat vodka has a museum itself haha cool isn't it... din really go in haha coz i wasn't really tat interested in the history and my friend not into alcohol haha... but it seems to have a long history hehe...
