Last weekend, I met my friend Graham in Amsterdam. We used AirBNB to get a really cool little studio apartment for the weekend right on a canal in the middle of the city for pretty cheap. It's a really interesting city, the buildings all look like they are on the verge of just tipping over or collapsing.
I think we got about as much out of the weekend as possible. We arrived Friday, and just did a walk around exploring. Saturday we woke up early and went to a museum about torture after breakfast. We then tried to go to the Van Gogh museum, but it had about a 3 hour wait to get in, so we headed to do the Heineken Brewery tour instead. It was pretty cool, just a little more like a big sales pitch than a tour where you actually learn something. After that we took a canal boat tour where the tour guide made a joke in German about Americans being fat, but I've learned enough German where I could catch him. He seemed pretty impressed/surprised by that, but it was funny anyway.
We woke up early Sunday morning to go to the Van Gogh Museum and spent a couple of hours there before lunch and heading to the airport.
