13 Nov Amsterdam: XXX Sexy Time

The transit in Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.

We arrived Amsterdam about noon 3pm and the first thing I noticed is the really well dressed commuters. About 70% of them were in jackets or coats and some guys with really neat combed hair probably styled with pomade, dressed in suit pants and leather shoes on a working day were real eye candies. So much so that I thought people in Amsterdam were better dressed than the ones I saw in Milan & Paris, ironically.

We had a really smashing apartment booked via airbnb.com. My favorite part of it is the fairly huge balcony.

An awesome view overlooking narrow apartments with different colour tinted glass windows, the apartments were like miniature toy houses.

The walk along the canal passing through a park to central is really beautiful! We were welcomed with a vary sight of black swan with a white patch on it’s face, boathouses, the yellow/ orange autumn colour toned trees & leaves, joggers, owners dog walking, amazing commuters on bicycle (some without their hands on the handlebar and texting on their phone).

Enjoying the greenery.

I was actually quite surprise that Amsterdam left a very pleasant impression. The houses were in structured rectangular shapes, solid coloured blocks of bricks, clean and seemingly new. Looking at the narrow houses packed side by side, the stairs to the apartments must be the same as the ones in our accommodation. It was narrow, steep and had winding stairway which led us wondering how the elderly climb the stairs man? I guess the elderly are stronger than us haha. We fucking pant breathlessly whenever we climb the flight of steps like without fail except Leen. We were amazed by the contractors. We saw them pulling the long log of metal with the gable and hook through the window.

We headed to an Indonesian restaurant, Sampurna researched by Leen and oh.my.goodness.are.u.fucking.kidding.me awesome! I wasn’t in awe of the ones I’ve tried in Singapore nor Batam and even in Medan when we visited A‘s homeland. This one? Is the bomb! I would have shared some pictures if it wasn’t so dark in the restaurant.

Sampurna | Address: Singel 498, 1017 AX Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The shops in Amsterdam closes about 6pm daily so the only place we could go after our dinner was to wander around De Wallen, the red light district. I have had people telling me how some prostitutes are old & fat. Bluff! Mostly not bad looking (maybe it’s the makeup or something) and the figure quite saucy leh. They look like fishes in the red fluorescent lit tank waiting for a bait to bite though.

We didn’t had a tour guide for the red light district area so when I found this “documentary”, I found it interesting! haha. Apparently, Red neon lights – women and purple – transvestites, shemales.

While I was busy & innocently getting amused by the 2 hugeass swans by the canal, the rest of them were discussing if we should pay 40 euros to watch the live porn show which had a long trail of tourists by the entrance. U see la my friends… tsk tsk. Even though we didn’t spend the money to watch performers have sex, we did visit the museum of prostitutions which cost 7.50 euro and quite frankly, waste money haha.

Basically the small place showed how they were deceived into getting a dancer profession but lured into the prostitution path instead similar to the tricks of pimps in Asia. Like taxi drivers in Singapore, they had to pay for the rent of the vehicle, they had to pay for the rent of that tiny room space and a window display to exhibit themselves. So needless to say, they will take years to really save up. However, there was a really awesome story about this girl who managed to save up for her law studies. The least fortunate ones, either end up murdered or something. There was a fake window with video of men walking pass and seemingly ogling at you to let you experience what the prostitutes face everyday. A small room of SM tools like the leather whips or that swing or some shit and that’s about it.

And so I end off day 1 post with XXX.
