Last Thursday we woke up later than usual 
Today off! On the occasion of the annual celebration of the Queen And today, we, like many Dutch people were going to go to the capital of the Netherlands. Yea me unprecedented Amsterdam Every year on this day, April 30, all of Holland is walking in orange robes, rejoice in the squares, streets and even the balconies of the country. And of course drink a drink of the day - beer. But especially holiday is celebrated in Amsterdam. And we have bought a pair of orange hats in advance by downloading a huge backpack camera and a few beers, went to Amsterdam!
We rode the train we are pretty fun Around the crowded Dutch youth. They chatted, laughed, shouted and drank beer. At the station in Amsterdam was a lot of people. We arrived people from all over the Netherlands and all were sent to the exit. Coming out of the stuffy crowded train station, we came to no less crowded streets and went for a walk.
On the streets of careless gaiety prevailed. Local residents and many tourists wandering aimlessly around the city. Tourists stared at the unusual old houses and other attractions, and local simply strolling through the city. Channels were filled with boats and boats. Almost all boat people danced, many have even been established DJ turntable, club and bar smoke Everyone on the boat was a small party. All participants were dressed in different orange clothing, hats, skirts, sunglasses. Some specially for this for painting hair orange temporary paint Вобщем rather Theme party The spectacle, of course, funny.
At the pivot streets were concerts which some local popular singers and dancers. And it must be noted that one of the central areas to mix the popular hits of DJ Tiesto!
All bars, coffee shops and private shops in the day were open to their guests And so the city was saturated with the smell of marijuana. Smoking is not shy is not a coffeeshop, or near them. Smoked a lot and everywhere Anywhere. And throughout the city could watch the company of young people and billowing smoke around them. One of them had managed to grab us, passing another coffee shops, and photographed
In different parts of the city center of Amsterdam was occupied by different attractions. We walked past a couple of interesting entertainment. Almost in the center stood a huge crane from which dropped down people tied a rope. Those who are not yet sufficiently warmed up throwing to two of them. But those who already have nothing to fear, flew on one and in this case, it seems, really is not afraid (hm.. Can it natrenirovany owner of the crane showing master class ..?)
It opened an incredible amount souvenir shops. And it is understandable why. Also around the center of a lot like small markets where they sold clothing, hats, jewelry and other stuff. But there were funny little things. I, like a normal person, the first being in Amsterdam, was obliged to beg Petka something. Begged comic bag and a souvenir, "train consisting of the letters of our names. Acquisitions been glad we went on.
As is well known Amsterdam - a city of museums. Here, an incredible number of different museums. Today, unfortunately, were closed. But it opened a lot of shops erotic goods, sex shops and similar places. What actually is also famous for Amsterdam At the entrance to some shops were very funny representatives porn.
Almost every street was located at several shops. At the time it seemed to me that the streets of this city are only coffeeshops, sex shops and taverns But if you look closely, you can see and the usual shops
Despite a rather reckless behavior among young people in this day, the feast took place without any unpleasant events. All drank, smoked, to interact, but we could not not see any fights or something like that. We can not of course ignore the unpleasant incident. That same day, the Day of the Queen in the city of Apeldoorn an unpleasant event. The driver crashed into a crowd of spectators. As a result, several killed himself and 4 other people. It seems to be as it was an attempt on the royal family. In this city have banned outdoor party on that day. But in Amsterdam, everything was in order. In general, people here are friendly, we have concluded
But it was impossible not to notice how dirty was the city that day. In trash people even tried to throw out the garbage. They were overcrowded. Garbage thrown everywhere, but not in the designated areas But nobody paid any attention. In this holiday is a normal condition.
We walked us all day. The day we avoided not only the center, visited on a less busy streets. Strolled along the promenade, which incidentally was not very picturesque. And, seated on the observation platform of the popular maritime museum Nemo met a very unusual sunset at the background of the capital city
And as soon as the sun went down. We went walking pace .. where do you think 
correctly. Red light district. It was business as usual Crowds of tourists (including us), but not small and local that evening would stare (and maybe not just stare) at the Amsterdam priestesses of love Red light district, who was not, a few cross narrow streets. The ground floors of old buildings are glazed. Around there is a red neon light. Inside the premises, too, all in red neon lights. In many zastekolyah be skazt really nice atmosphere. Beds are neatly laid out with nice sheets, flowers around and all that. Immediately noticeable: working professionals! 
Or rather "professional Day of course all this is almost invisible.
I will tell you a secret, we went there during the day, but the first thing I saw it full elderly mulatto woman with a bad manicure, noticeably inaccurate epilation and fat deposits in all parts of the body. And we quickly went from there. As it turned out during the day shift work there is not the most beautiful women ) But the evening is full of beautiful young girls and older women beckon finger lonely walking men. Find out on their own experience, that not alone do not attract Just glancing at the prospective clients. As Peter told me, the cost of services at all one - 50 euros (after all, learned all the same .
Near some places the crowd a lot of people. Apparently a very popular girls in bikinis strutting behind the glass. But there were those around which is why it was empty.
It also installed a small monument ... eeee ... whatever they are called ... a woman of easy virtue! Here! We walked through the evening Amsterdam we are almost to the last train. Lastly walked through the remaining open souvenir shops, and without buying anything (although the temptation was great , Went to the station.
We returned home after midnight. We fall off his feet and his head was buzzing But we were happy. About myself I can say that I liked Amsterdam. Unusual small town City, in which we will definitely come again
