Day 7 in Amsterdam

My host family drove me to Amsterdam today. We parked at the Arena and then took the Metro to the city centre. Saw the centraal station, had lunch in KFC (found back the taste of the lost KFC chicken wings in Seattle!!), passed by the Dam's square, the Royal Palace, the famous street for shopping (but I've forgotten its name). It was dammmn cold. We had the canal tour, then had a coffee inside a Brown cafe, but my DC is out of battery again and again. Cenraal station and "boat home" in Princess canal(?) At early evening, we visited the Chinese temple in China town, the red light district. Not to be demeaning, but sometimes you just don't understand why it looks like anyone can rent a room there. Do they really earn? Had dinner in a "real Chinese" restaurant. My "step-father" always makes the joke: "Chinese are good at washing dishes", but I can't wash the dishes at home, because most Holland families have a dish-washing machine. :p Wooden shoe and Red light district Coffin shop and "Girls in windows" are legal in this international city with tall modern buildings. On the one hand, you feel the freedom; on the other hand, isn't it a bit chaotic? Zurich is a bit boring, but you feel a kind of serenity.
