Yesterday was a very special day for me. I accompanied my host to Amsterdam. I had never been there, so I was really excited. This is me in the train on the way to Amsterdam.
When we arrived in Amsterdam, we walked to the Dam Square. This is the monument in remembrance of the victims of the Second World War.
And this is the Queen's Palace (one of several, but the only one in Amsterdam)
Here I am in front of a building. My host couldn't tell me what the building was for, but she liked the sculptures. The three white crosses are the sign of Amsterdam, like the stork was for The Hague.
And since we travelled straight from work to Amsterdam, we still had to eat! So what better place than Burger King for a quick meal 
This was the coolest bit of all and the reason why we travelled to Amsterdam. I went to a popconcert! We went to the concert of A.J. McLean! He is one of the four members of the Backstreet Boys. My host is a fan of theirs, so she was really excited when she heard that one of them was performing in a small concerthall in Amsterdam. A.J. performed songs from his new solo-album which is to be released in the end of 2008. It was a great night! If you wish to see video-footage, just look at YouTube and search for A.J. McLean and for the night where I was, you can add Paradiso Amsterdam. It was the best experience I had so far!
And here I am in an almost empty train compartment on the way back. The concert was over way too quickly, though my ears were still ringing a bit from all the loud noises. I'd go again anytime!
