Amsterdam: Free Love, Narcotics and No One Tulip

I have a mixed feeling on this city – Amsterdam is complicated and pushes to choose: love or hate. It is surprising, but none of my friends stayed indifferent to this city. Moreover, nobody could clearly explain the reasons either for loving it or for hating.

One of the islands of the Phi Phi group. Thailand.

We left snowy Europe under the airplane wing. It’s a pity that we will see the same -4 degrees on our return back home. And luckily there are such warm and sunny islands as Phuket with tender sea and again ripened mangos.
