9/21/2013 - Amsterdam, the Netherlands
I arrived in Amsterdam in the afternoon to meet two American friends. We're traveling together until Oktoberfest. Amsterdam made a good first impression: people are hanging out on almost every street corner. It is very tourist friendly, but not so much that locals stay away (unlike Venice, which seemed exclusively tourist).
We had a low-key night, starting at indie movie theatre Kriterion for Dutch beers, then meandered the canals on our way through the city. Our last stop was a bar that had over 100 kinds of beers, but we were disappointed that most of them were American beers. That's getting to be a common theme in Europe: American food and drink is pretty trendy here.
