It's amazing how comfortable I feel here. I really like waking up in the morning and looking outside my window to the sounds of a bustling city below. I never close the windows, I'd feel like I was missing something. This city must have been built for me. In America I feel like all eyes are on me, in amsterdam I feel like a spot on the map, barely noticeable. The novelty just doesn't wear off. When I go tramping around the city I see huge tour bus that read 'hop on hop off'. It's a tourist guide that speeds you through the city, seeing every must see along the way. But with the size of that bus and the window that locks you from the outside, your experience is limited. At least thats my opinion. I love walking down the streets breathing fresh Holland air living in my own world and experiencing the city in all its glory from my own perspective, blocked from all the distractions of every day life. I can't understand the languages, many of which are heard just walking down the street. I watched their body language and facial expressions, everyone looks happy. Men and women, gay and straight walk down the street in arms, families ride on bicycles together, it seems just about anything is alright as long as you don't harm anyone. The city grows on me as time passes. The world is bigger than I thought. It's much more than portland, oregon, the united states or even amsterdam, were all different but forever connected by the human bond. Goodnight all.
