iAMsterdam

So the kids and I took a 4 day vaycay from Londontown to experience the fine culture of Amsterdam.
after a train, a bus, a 40 min plane, a train, and a real life TROLLEY we arrive in the amazingly bizarre capital of the Netherlands.

Advice to all travelers: Amsterdam is great for 2 days. 4 is plain excessive.
Despite visiting the Heineken brewery, the Van Gogh museum, Bols Museum, and various other sites, the city felt very small.
Its not the prettiest city in all of Europe but its definitely the strangest. Its super tiny, and theres more trolleys than cars and you dont drink coffee in coffee shops, and the ladies that stand in windows run the town. and dont even think about asking for tap water cause they dont have any.
oh, and theres a reason for the stereotype of the freakydeeky Dutch language "fleegen floggen flugen fleegen." it ACTUALLY sounds like that.

I did find some pretty epic shoes, tho! Gagalicious. I love the ones with the vertebrae.

The fashion was surprisingly amazing. It all felt so much more modern than the Victorian feel of London fashion. After not having coffee in a coffee shop, I went wild in an H&M and bought everything in site. Such awesome product.

But all you really need for a good time is the two crazy cats that are in the proceeding videos.
 First: an audio of how wild Jillian is, backed by the evocative images of puppies and such.

I've been possessed by the spirit of Jillian's dog. I've embodied Stella and actively keep Jillian warm at night just as Stella would.

and finally, another fine performance by Jillian Waldron.
