Ok Amsterdam. The land of clogs, cheese, grass, and erotica. Everything that’s been said about Amsterdam in Hollywood are true. Except for how they like to make fun of Australians:
How their ducks like to moon tourists:

Apologies for the lack of updates lately. It’s just that my blog grinds to a halt whenever I find myself with a new toy. This time, said distraction would be a brand new Nintendo Wii that the wife and I decided to buy with our respective bonuses. Owning a game console again after almost a decade of abstinence from gaming triggered a gaming fury in me which finds me plastered in front of the TV whenever I have the time. But more on that later. For now I continue chronicling our time in Europe.
The fifth leg of our trip found us in Germany. Speaking of Germany, I will take this opportunity to talk about reusing underwear. You see, we were only allowed one 20 Kilogram suitcase and a couple of carry on bags for our trip. Considering that it was a 2 week trip, and our heavy winter clothes are to take up the bulk of our allotted space, we were forced to reuse all of our clothes.
Like I said before, we would only stay at a place for a night or two at a time, so washing our clothes really wasn’t possible. At the very least, we would wash our socks and underwear in the sink and hang them on the radiator to dry. Good thing it was winter and we sweat as much.
Although everywhere we went in our trip was made of awesome, two countries really stood out for me. The first was Italy for the food, the people, and how their language was easier to understand than the rest of the countries we went to (just add a vowel at the end of any given English word and more often then not, you’ll be understood). And the second would have to be Switzerland.
Not because they decapitate women who want to go to the bathroom:
Or how sometimes their restaurants aren’t restaurants:
And not because I think their flag is the coolest flag in the world, but because one of the places we went to in Switzerland was this ski resort on top of Mount Pilatus. Which is as awesome as it sounds. Not only did we have a snow covered mountain top to play in, but it had all these caves which we got to explore while we were there. And I’d have you know that this was my first time to see snow. So to commemorate the event, I made a video of my first time in the snow:
