It's a WILD, WILD, WILD World out there... by MBDVB
Open your eyes, your ears, your sense of smell... the place is a cornucopia of sights, sounds, and fragrance... find that little corner cafe where you can watch the world go by... and believe me, you will see things you've only heard or read about...On my first trip, we arrived around noon, and it proceeded to rain for 30 minutes, and then the sun would shine for 30 minutes, alternating until about 4:00pm when the sky then stayed a brilliant bronze until dark... I walked into my first coffeeshop, the Grasshopper on the Damrak near Centraal Station, with Vinnie Gambini, and we soon sat relishing a Heineken on the outside patio overlooking the water and the Station... I could not believe I was actually here...
