Several thousand Amsterdamers live in house boats along the canals. Most are connected to electricity, but the city does not allow any more due to sanitary concerns.

I saw these wooden tulips in many souvenir shops in Amsterdam and I thought they were so nice.

From far away you don't even see that they are not real.
