阿姆斯特丹_Amsterdam

对阿姆斯特丹的印象是--繁忙但不急促，很多不同肤色的人聚集在这里，找停车位非常麻烦（而且车位付费是二十四小时计算的，很麻烦），对其他的文化容纳性交强，和德国不同的是，这里没有把外地人同化，同一条街可以看到几间华人餐馆。至于‘草’这家东东我就不得而知了，没去找啊。也见识了所谓的红灯区（灯管真的是红色的。。。），感觉有点复杂，人家在找生活我们却当作是当地的‘景点’之一，我想她们也很恨被这么样看吧？不过还好我没失礼，没三八三八的盯着看，希望有朝一日这红灯区会成为历史。。。

Had a different impression towards Amsterdam with Rotterdam. Here is a bit more busy yet not feeling too rush, many different races gather here. Parking could be a pain, the meter count 24hrs, so you've gotto make sure the coins that you throw in is enough until the next morning...Difference from Germany, Holland didn't assimilate other culture into theirs, we still able to see the chinese shop or restaurant in the same street (which you wouldn't see in Germany).

Didn't know how easy to get to access to the weed (coz we didnt look for it), felt complicated when I saw the red light district. Must be hateful when people are finding a living yet we take it as one of the 'sigh seeing' point huh. Just hope one fine day, this will become a history...

喜欢两旁的花摊子 Like the flower stalls

小小的屋 Small litte house

小小的车 Small little car...

低于水平线 Below sea level...

就是要拍照留念啊，难得有机会站在水位下。。。呵呵。。。
Yeah, photos photos! Once in a life time standing below the sea level...

实景是很美的，技术不好而已 Actual scene is very much better than photos...

Magere Brug, also known as "Skinny Bridge"

蛮有气势的船，当时应该是这样才把它拍下吧？

看看后面的脚踏车！Look at the bicycles behind!

罗特丹的艺术_The Art of Rotterdam (2)

Continue the journey of this city of art (ok I named it myself :P), you can see a lot of landmark buildings, it's beautiful and of course, creative!

罗特丹的建筑物是充满艺术气息的，不单是美，还很有创意，就连一根街灯也弄得像起重机的脖子一样。。。

Its a fake tree...

Look at the lamp-post at the back...

The Erasmus bridge, linking the north and south of Rotterdam, has a nickname 'De Zwaan' ('the Swan'). 右下角的地面闪闪发亮的哦。

My first impression -- oh my god, is this the house that I saw in Jacky Chan's movie???

A view of pretty all of the unique construction..。

The Euromast, not traditional round shape but the shape of ship...

The Montevideo. The huge M on top is designed as a wind vane...

罗特丹_Rotterdam (1)

2007 年。驾车从德国跨越荷兰边界（还得靠荷兰电讯公司的欢迎简讯确认），就在这里度过了生平第一个在车睡得夜晚（差点冷死。。。）好不容易捱到天亮， 迎来的是暖暖的日出。还好没冻死，不然真的浪费。。。呵呵呵呵。。。

We drove through Holland from Germany (confirmed by receiving the welcoming sms from Holland's phone service provider). Had the first night slept in the car, and welcomed by a wonderful dawn (lucky enough we survive through the cold night...)

感觉很平和对不对？ This is what I refers to as tranquility

充满艺术气息的桥

解冻中。。。defrosting...

金德代克的风车群_Kinderdijk-Elshout

2007年的照片。真的是时光飞逝。。。Kinderdijk在荷兰，罗特丹(Rotterdam)以东15km之处，在97年被列入世界文化遗产。

我们开车从高速公路去Kinderdijk，不过不知道为什么下午3点多已经开始塞车，我们到达Kinderdijk时已经大概5点多了吧？还好还有一点时间参观风车的内部构造（到5.30pm）！很幸运哦。

来到这里的第一个感觉就是--很想在这里住！真的，一个很漂亮，宁静，但感觉又不会太闷的地方！可能我比较喜欢小地方吧。。。得空得空就跑来这里骑脚车。。。爽！

Since we didn't do any study at all, we came to know this place by asking the local people which point of interest we could go... they pointed here, and there we go! Got stuck in the highway for hours even its just 3pm something in the noon, pointing the wrong exit (ok my fault, reading map is never my strenght...hahaha) etc etc, we were lucky enough to arrived at Kinderdijk jut before the visiting hour.

It's a wonderful place, firs thing cross my mind was - How nice if I can stay here? (hell ya, best day dreaming of the year :p) We stroll around after come out from mill, it's just... beautiful...

有19个风车在运作。。。

鸭子家族在游河戏水。。。

Bezoekersmolen

内观，梯级很斜哦

启动其中一个机关，风车的方向就会改变。 很聪明的构造。。。

要捕捉那转动的风桨也不容易eh。。。
