Amsterdam

As I told you before in my last post, on October 28th I went to Amsterdam. I went to Schiphol Airport first to put my baggage then I proceed to Amsterdam Central Station. I went to Madame Tussaud Museum and had some fun in Amsterdam. My visit was too short, I didn't even get to Van Gogh Museum, Rembrandt Museum or experience Canal Cruise because I have to be in Schiphol Airport early. But It's alright. At least I got to visit Amsterdam. He he he. Some people suggest me to go to Red District. Hello? I thought I don't have to go there. Moreover, I had to leave Netherland in the afternoon and honestly, I ever passed the Dolly localization in Surabaya so I've already have a picture about what would I see on Red Districts. These are the pictures that I took in Amsterdam:

Anyway, I hope I could share knowledge that I got from the training to my colleagues. I feet blessed because I have the opportunity to go overseas and experience different culture. But this makes me questions my resolution to take Master degree overseas because I really can't stand the cold weather. 

Maastricht

Since my training was ended on October 26th, on October 27th I got opportunity to went to Maastricht and on the following day, I went to Amsterdam. My first plan was to go to Volendam and Amsterdam but since my friends here wanted to go Maastricht, I ended up went there instead. Moreover, I loved history. So it's a good experience for me since Maastricht is the oldest town in Netherland with lot of historical places. Do you know that it is the city where Europe Union born? This place is near the border of 3 countries, Netherland, Germany and Belgia. Here are some pictures that I takes in Maastricht:

There's a second hand market on the street. This was the first time I really see clothes made from real animal.

I came to this museum











Place of European Union Treaty. If I'm not wrong




This church was build in 1300




Birds was scrambling for food


By the way, in Netherland, Walls ice cream is called Ola

It was a cold and tired day. I hate cold places. T^T. No matter how pretty other country is, I still prefer to live in Indonesia. He he he. What do you think? Maastricht is quite pretty, isn't it?
