AMS

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

Just landed in Amsterdam and remembered immediately how much I love this place: The train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Centraal Station takes 15 minutes and costs €2.20 and is uber-comfy and easy and way better than a long expensive taxi ride Upon arrival at Amsterdam CS, I went ...
