I heart europe~

Just got back from our trip to Amsterdam-Brussels-London.  What a great experience!  Amsterdam was such an interesting city, and I would go back again if I get the chance.  London was more like a revisit, since I was there about 6 years ago.  It is just awesome to see any cities in Europe.  They are so full of history and culture everywhere, something that N. America does not have.  The Dutch are such a relaxed population, they stroll when they walk, and they are always enjoying life.  London has some really handsome men.  I just love their subway system.  Almost wanted to buy a poster of their "underground tube" system.  The Europeans are very environmentally conscious, they do not have AC everywhere.  The days when we were there, it was so hot and what do N. Americans do when it gets hot?  Go hide in the malls or office buildings.  Well, that won't work in Europe, coz many stores do not have AC, or the ones that do, the AC is barely noticeable.  Globalization by the MacDonald's are the only restaurants that do have AC.  Of course, the americans cannot live in agony.  Ming would probably have an easier time in Taiwan than in Europe during hot days, coz at least there's AC everywhere in Taipei.  But Taipei is definitely still hotter than Europe.  What else can I say about European cities?  oh yeah, they are freaking expensive.  Anyways, I am going to upload the photos somewhere... Still haven't decided where to put up the photos.  Maybe Flickr?

you should post your photos on Picasa or Facebook.
Flikr doesn't really work that well I find.

Did you guys smoke any weeds while in Amsterdam??

DH said...

It's pretty easy to smoke weeds in Canada. It's gotta be 420 somewhere...

BTW, why do spammers like to spam on your website?

Glad that you guys had so much fun. Envy you guys!

I stand corrected, I do not condone anything illegal except traffic laws.

DH said...

Actually, an Ontario appeal court has ruled the anti-weed possession law is unconstitutional in 2003. So technically, it's "not illegal" in Ontario...

FT said...

But don't you still need some kind of doctor's note to be in possession of those weeds? And can you smoke them in coffee shops?

DH said...

Well, the federal law says it's illegal. If you get caught by the police, I guess "My friend DH said so" defense is not going to fly. But Ontario court has repeatedly ruled that law is unconstitutional so you can't be prosecuted for it, yet...

1. yeah, why do spammers leave comments here? and how does he know if i have great hits? coz i don't, so it sounds more like a mocking.
2. i am glad to be back too. the trip is great. i don't think we'll be going anywhere in the next few years. gotta recover(financially first)
3. it is not okay to smoke weeds in ontario, i don't care what you say... smoking pots is wrong.
4. we just came back from our shopping trip with a bunch of friends. one of the guys said he lost his driver's license, so he could not drive. i guess losing ur license is not a bad thing afterall.

There is a legal smoking day in April at Vancouver BC. The whole downtown Van is full of smokes....
btw, Ft, you should check out the art gallery in Vancouver. They have something that you may like.

FT said...

I know! The show Krazy! in VAG. I really want to go see it. Me and a few co-workers are thinking about doing a weekend trip up to Vancouver...
Did you see the show Mel?

Oh.. and driving without a license is very exciting. Makes you feel like a criminal, should try it sometimes.

Unknown said...

pandaming said...

driving illegally eh? like grand theft auto?? i saw the game in the public library and i could sign it out for free (yup...you can sign out DVDs and video games now in library) ...i took it and thought that i would check out the game (so i can be 'in the know' with teen culture, ya know~...purely educational purpose...) but i put it back last minute cus i can't stand the concept of the game....

FT said...

Me either, I can't play and have no interest in that game whatsoever.

Unknown said...

i guess i do have great hits here~ haha... how can you check anyways?

1. I agree with Jackie, everything in Europe looks beautiful, even in the commercial based city like Frankfurt you can find beautiful and historical places.
2. How many web photo album places do you have?? you really need to consider sticking to one, it is really hard to keep up.....I don't want to remember any username and password anymore.

FT said...

I really don't have any more comments to add, but I just want to see how much hits this comment section can get.
Maybe I'll start leaving comments for other entries here too~

Unknown said...
