I AMsterdam

Sooo nothing exciting has been happening with school lately (we're getting into exam period) however, some friends and I decided to go to Amsterdam for the weekend, and we just got back yesterday.
We left on Friday night, and took the bus there. Once there we had to find our hotel (which was very expensive as it was a last-minute booking). We got there at about 11pm, and were relieved to settle in. Then we walked into the centre (about 25minutes) and looked around a bit. We went through teh red light district, and found a nice Irish Pub :) It was fairly quiet, and after 3am everything was closed, so we walked home and got a little sleep.
The next morning we found our next hostel, a really nice one where we could take a tram into town. We went and chucked our bags there, then went to discover the town! We met up with a couple of other girls we know from AFS and we all did a little tourist shopping. Then we went to the I Amsterdam thing and were so tempted by the water pond thing in front that we went paddling in it along with the little kids. We also played tag on the grass :) So we spent a while there, then it was back to the hotel to get ready for the night.
That night we had a drink at the hostel before heading into town. We went to a coffee shop for a little bit then continued to the real bars. It was a bigger night than friday, but not what we were expecting. There was nowhere to dance unless it was in a gay bar, and when walking from place to place, all there was to look at were the busty ladies in the windows...
The next morning we went to take a look at Anne Frank's house, but didn't go in, cause the line would have taken at LEAST 1hour, and we had a bus to catch! Before returning to the bus, we had a chance to buy our souvenir's and i got a shotglass and a t-shirt :)
Aaand, yeah, that's about it :) It wa short but sweet, and I'm keen to return!
