Samyu and her friends(Lewis, Yusef and Zerina) were middle school graduates from India, selected for a cultural trip to the Netherlands for 3 weeks. This blog narrates you about their journey together as four that the memory were much better, since...
We went for a walk through Amsterdam, which is brimming with life, the narrow streets, and the buildings that have witnessed much history. There were enormous squares that reminded me of images I'd seen on the internet of Venice and Italy, as well as buildings that reminded me of Paris. But it isn't any of those places, and it doesn't need to be compared to be appreciated; it was magnificent in its own right.

The Dutch are fast walkers, and Mr. Clemense moved at a breakneck pace that we couldn't match. We didn't get any beautiful photographs, but we did have some fantastic moments and met many wonderful individuals. The beauty of the canals and ancient homes, the friendliness of the Dutch, the museums, the parks, and the overall quality of life were all highlights for me. I loved the city's multicultural vibe, the café culture, the art, and the growing entrepreneurial community! In a nutshell, I adored it all.
Charming. Quaint. Lovely. Picturesque. Beautiful. The canals of Amsterdam deserve all of these overused adjectives and more. It's not only the river that runs through the neighborhoods that makes it so lovely. It is the attraction of the entire scene: the floating houseboats, the seemingly limitless number of bridges, and the intricate architecture of the gabled houses in the background.

Zerina and I were upset that we couldn't take decent photographs, so we decided to walk slowly behind them and soak in the beauty of the canals. I wanted to capture photos of mine along canals, and Zerina helped me in doing so. We walked down the busy streets, not knowing where it took us.
In a canal that provided us a beautiful view of Amsterdam, Mr. Clemense stopped. In that place, I might be anything or nothing at all. People flowed like rivers, and rivers chattered like people, never stopping for obstacles and instead swirling around them. We took group photographs together, and we all looked tired and parched. It was still not the end of the journey. Mr. Clemense informed us that we will be visiting Rembrandt's Rijksmuseum.
