Coffee with karamell

Today the coffee tastes better because it is accompanied by cookies from my awesome brother.

A carriage for two

This bike looked so cute with its colorful tiny seats that I started to wish my bottom was small enough to fit into one of them.


I saw this one in the Netherlands, but they are a pretty common vehicle on the streets of Denmark. Here they call it "christiania bike".

You may be surprised but it comes very handy. If you don't trust me, here you can see some people talking about it.

Trippy

An "ancient"disco ball with sadistic allusion, a deer's head, a painting of a (naked male) pink Little Pony, a woman reading a book, a high bartender in her 50s, slow (self) service, open doors at 5° C, random people walking in to have a beer while standing at the same place they found themselves when they entered, a menu written on the wall, people of all ages having a good time... What an awesome place!

Get hooked

When you look up, you can see that most of the buildings in Amsterdam have these devices sticking out from under the roofs.

 
I was told that, due to the steep narrow staircases, hardly anything can be taken up the stairs. So, these hooks on ropes are used to lift furniture, which you then pull into your apartment through the window.

Red light (district)

On streets with heavy traffic, traffic lights are a must.

What time is it?

Putting a sun-clock on a building in the center of a beautiful city, is a great idea... Unless the city is in a no-sun country.

Faces

Next time you visit a new place, pay attention to its street art. It is just as important for your cultural enrichment as all those museums and popular sightseeing spots you will see.

By chance I just bumped into this. It turns out that their author is the same as the author of the last one above. :)

The city of the tilted buildings

Have you even been to Amsterdam? Did you notice that quite a lot of the buildings there are pretending to be The Leaning Tower of Pisa?

Like this one, in the middle:


Or maybe this picture makes for better demonstration:
