Thoughts while solo-tripping around Amsterdam (roughly in chronological order):
- *internal screams of excitement
- Wow, the trains are so nice. Much comfortable. Much space.
- Look out the window, look away from your phone.
- The strange lady is looking at me.
- Do I look like a tourist?
- I probably do. I’m so going to get scammed.
- Hehhehehehehe Leylylaan. I am such a child.
- Schlickschlock djikdjok – I should stop.
- Centraal! Shit, no free wifi anymore.
- If I spin around this way, and the arrow on Google Maps points that way, and I walk in this direction, I should – oh wait nope why is it telling me to walk into the river?
- This place is a pedestrian’s paradise and a driver’s doom.
- Much history, much architecture.
- Can I jaywalk? Better not. I am an anak Malaysia yang membanggakan negara.
- I can gaywalk though. Ooooh, Lillian, you just went there.
- Foodfoodfoodfood.
- So many pigeons on the square…roast pigeo – Lillian, stop.
- Herring sandwiches??
- This baguette is actually soft.
- Pretty canal – must take picture.
- I need me a stroopwafel.
- I have me a bag of stroopwafel.
- Pretty canal.
- Pretty canal.
- I am basically a professional canal photographer now.
- This gouda is good ah. Buy one for Pa.
- Sex museum…pity I don’t have the time.
- Back at Centraal! Selfie with the building.
- Nope, my nostrils look huge. One more. Is anyone looking at me funny?
- Can I justifiably look at my phone now?
- Dank je, Nederlands.
