Hello again,
In the past two weekends I decided to do some traveling outside of the
U.K. and explore Europe. On February 5-7 I went to Copenhagen,
Denmark. My first impression was that the city had a very old vibe to
it, rich in culture. Despite that the sky's were gray and it was cold,
the city and suburbs were beautiful. My favorite place I discovered
was the Nyhavn canal (picture with me and my two friends). The
different colored shops and pubs along canal was beautiful. I then
found a street that had a trampoline sidewalk. I probably had more fun
on it than a 20 year old man should.
Following my trip to Copenhagen I had to spend the majority of my week
getting school work done and playing 5 a side soccer. During the week
I went to tower bridge and walked across the glass floor which was
incredible.
On Friday February 12th I set out to Amsterdam, Holland to do some
exploring. This past summer I met a guy around my age in the Dominican
Republic on vacation. He told me if I ever come to Amsterdam to hit
him up, naturally I did. It was amazing having a local show you around
so you don't get ripped off at tourist attractions, and find unique
cool things that all the natives did. Him and his roommates were
superb hosts and really showed us a great time. On a side note, the
red light district was easily the most insane place I have ever walked
through. It made Las Vegas seem like the Vatican, however I won't go
into specifics about what you see there.
Both Copenhagen and Amsterdam were amazing cities and highly recommend
them to anyone. What shocked me most about both was the amount of
cyclists and bike highways. More people were driving bikes than cars,
which really was evident as I don't believe I saw one overweight
person in either place.
