Amsterdam was cool. the city was very pretty with the canal and all the bridges. The quirky thing about it is that every single person has a bike. Bike lanes are much more respected than actual streets. And if you were in the path of a bike, the biker would for sure let you know with a little "ding"!
We did a few touristy things. My favorite thing ever is that the Anne Frank House has Wifi! It's a big deal, I know! We did walk through the Red Light district, and the most shocking thing of all is that people would have their children there, just walking. Like hello?? There are prostitutes in all these windows!!
For you Fault in our Stars fans out there, Ansel was actually in Amsterdam at the same time we were. No, we did not see him. :( BUT we did take the same cab as him. What, you ask? I will explain.
So Carrie and I took a cab back to our hostel the first night and the cabbie was very friendly. He talked about how he loves America and how earlier that day he had picked up and American DJ from the airport who was supposedly very famous. The cabbie compared this boy to Justin Bieber, which is the universal comparison for anyone above the age of 30 for a young, handsome, famous- looking guy. We had known that today was the day Ansel had arrived, but since the cabbie had said this young man was a DJ, we thought it couldn't possibly be him. Thanks to wikipedia I found out Ansel Elgort is first and foremost a DJ, Ansolo (!) WHAT?! SO I guess that means Carrie and I rode in the same taxi as Ansel Elgort. No big deal.
There was also a carnival going on while we were there, and the cotton candy was HUGE! Here's a pic:
