Zeist small town with a population of about 60,000, 10 kilometers from Utrecht, 40 kilometers from Amsterdam, not far from the metropolis, with the convenience of the city and the quiet of the countryside, it is no wonder that the population is increasing.
Leave Zeist and drive to Amsterdam.
Compared with small cities, there are many people and cars in Ashi, which shows the prosperity of the city.

The last time I came to Ashi, today I revisited, the companion has one more member, more experience in Ashi, but less mysterious and strange to him. Sometimes, because of mystery, the heart yearns, because of strangeness, it is beautiful, when there is no mystery and strangeness, what you see in your eyes is less colorful. I had to search out the records of the last time to see what made me still not love her.
Sex is all about Amsterdam
A Chinese element hidden in the bustling downtown
Amsterdam is known as the "European capital". The red light district at dusk, except for the large number of people, is not much different from other markets. And when night falls, the lights are on, and the red light district begins to become lively and crazy. The girls in the song hall sang louder than they did, attracting the attention of tourists; the display of beautiful women began in the window, these delicately dressed and charming women not only attracted many women like me to see the liveliness, but also attracted the attention of men with various needs (just can not take pictures, but also respect for these sex workers).
Ames is not only a free sex capital, but also one of the few cities in the world that allows drugs such as marijuana, many cafes can legally consume small amounts of drugs, and some people say that they have encountered vendors who peddle drugs to them. We just watched the hilarity very carefully, and there was no story happening.
Bustling streets, sexually charged shops, passionate nightclubs, it's enough to take a look around, but Err. Sex is just one of the business cards of the city to promote itself, and the city attracts tourists far more than "sexual interest".
The water city of Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a water city with a dense network of rivers with more than 160 crisscrossing canals. I once watched a movie called "The Water Ghost of Amsterdam", which tells the horror story of a murderous maniac who uses convenient waterways to commit crimes everywhere. The scenes shown in the film prove that Amsterdam's waterways are convenient and developed, and many parts of the city can be reached by boat.
Take a ferry boat to the new city
Bike Kingdom
Bikes everywhere
Amsterdam is also a kingdom of bicycles, the streets and alleys, around the docks, densely populated places, everywhere are bicycles, some in rows, some parked at will, and some docks, specially designed multi-storey bicycle parking spots, that dense bicycles, can be said to be spectacular, but not pleasing to the eye.
This time the way to play is by bicycle. The Netherlands is a bicycle kingdom, and there are car rental points everywhere, which is convenient for tourists to rent and ride, but compared with China's public car rental, it is far less convenient than China. Rented a car and followed my son through the streets and alleys.
The streets and alleys are full of densely packed people, and the famous sex-themed attractions have a smell in the air, which may be the smell of marijuana.
The biggest takeaway this time was finding a convenient and cheap parking spot – the block across the canal from the city centre. The central part of Amsterdam has a dense river network and narrow streets, and it has been searched for several streets without stopping. Later, my husband sacrificed himself, let us get out of the car first, and he went to find a place to park. My husband told us that he looked at the map and thought of going to the other side of the canal to see, on the other side of the river, met a black man from Tanzania, a black friend told him to park his car here, take a ferry to the other side for free, and be very close to the various tourist attractions in the city center. Black friends not only told the location of the parking lot, but also helped pay the parking fee, all over the world brothers ah.
Ferry to the opposite side
I rode with my son for 2 hours, returned the car back to the car dealership, we met at the return site, and walked through the fun street together. Finally take the free ferry to the opposite parking lot.
Whether the city is cute or not, it can only feel real if it is familiar. Far from the city center, Ashi is what I like, quiet. There is also the port area that was farther from the city center last time, a single courtyard with birds living nearby, which is also my ideal home.
Ideal home
This time, I planned to visit several museums, admire celebrity paintings, and see the relics looted by the old empire, but there was no agreement, so I had to give up. I came out of Ashi and went to the windmill village of San'ans. (July 22, 2019)
