Amsterdam - What You See


  • Speedy bikers, slow bikers, fashionable - wearing heels bikers, old bikers, texting bikers, smoking bikers. Everyone rides a bike! Everyone! Tourists on bikes (danger!)
  • Coffee shops - that stink!
  • Marijuana seed shops, mushroom shops, sex shops, vintage shops, hat shops and your usual high street shops.
  • A variety of people (that's obviously normal in a city - but seriously this place beholds the young, the old, the strange and the adventurous)
  • Tourists getting run over by bikers
  • Canals and house boats
  • Unfortunate girls posing in windows awaiting a horny, big spender
  • Fashionable people and not so fashionable people - people who put no matter what on, concentrating on keeping warm
  • Stylish bikes and practical bikes
  • Small, box-like stores selling herring - a Dutch delicacy 
  • A 'Coffee Company' café every 200 metres
