Opening Nine Streets.
The dutch are awesome! Apparently they just finished repaving 9 small streets a few blocks out of downtown, and that was reason enough to throw a party. They had a small marching band and balloons and everything, just because their streets got new bricks in them.
I ended up sleeping for about 12 hours last night, so I think that was about the last of the jet-lag weirdness. Not that it was an uninterrupted 12 hours, somebody outside my window started blasting Mexican polka music right outside my window at about 2 in the morning.
Yesterday the compass in my watch got totally stuck. I went to an outdoor store and they couldn't figure it out either, so I had to end up getting a little plastic compass. The compass is the only reason that I picked out this damn watch! I could have just saved $300 and just bought a cheap plastic compass in the first place.
But other than that yesterday was pretty cool, I went to Madame Tussuad's which was actually a lot cooler than I was expecting. The "scary" part was actually pretty freaky. They had a screen with night vision right after the scary part so that you can see all the people behind you get totally freaked by the stuff that you went through, which was pretty funny. And the sculptures were so real! Sometimes it was hard to tell the other tourists apart from the statues.
I also went to the "Experience Heineken" museum. It was an old Heineken factory that they converted inta a tourist attraction. It was totall cheesy and boring, but the had some lame/funny rides. One ride was supposed to show you what it is like to be a bottle in the heineken factory. The 10 euro price of admission was totally worth it though, since it came with 3 beers and a pretty nice bottle opener.
