Romanticising Amsterdam: the houses have been taken over by the rich, the streets by the junks and pimps. No original "Amsterdammer" lives there anymore. The snow is not as thick as it used to be. The canals are occupied by cars and bikes... Not the Amsterdam where I used to live. Not the Amsterdam I knew. But unfortunately, that goes for every major city in the world now.

And where can they drive these cars, parked end to end with water on one side and a building on the other side??

There are small one-way-roads in between the parked cars and buildings ;)

    Maybe you can make a clicker for your bike and iphone. You could set an alarm off on your bike via your phone?! Just trying to help you find your bike quickly before your toes freeze. :) :)

    These are just of few of the "discarded bikes". Bikes that people never come to collect because they were too drunk, couldn't find their bike, or just went home by taxi.

    It is so "cool" that your town bikes as opposed to drive every time they would like to go somewhere. Where I live, driving is more the option people choose. It's so much healthier for you and the environment to bike. Good job Amsterdam! :)

    Biking is not healthy any more in cities like Amsterdam. The fumes and accidents are major killers of cyclists. However, it is kind to your pocket money. Parking along a canal is only for the "not so faint hearted" , and will cost you a month salary. Parking your bicycle is a hazard too. It will either be stolen by criminals or taken away by the council because there is just not enough room for the enormous amount of bicycles. Pedestrians hate the wrongly parked bicyles because they obstruct every sidewalk. It looks cool but isn't.

    You mean the round thing on the building with a name on it? It's a bar. It says "Heineken" (the beer brand) on the round board. As for he black plate, I can't read it.
