Day 1
Arrived from Paris last night. After being in Paris for the last few days, Amsterdam is a fresh air! Everyone in Amsterdam speaks English unlike Paris. Plus I’m far more familiar with Amsterdam than Paris.
After breakfast, I head downtown to shop. I love Amsterdam during Christmas, you feel that it’s really here with large christmas trees, christmas lighting and carols everywhere in the city. I managed to pick up some goodies. There were so many things that I want to buy but budget does not permit. The exchange rate is RM4.8o to 1 Euro. 
Day 2
Nothing much happened. Had to go to the Amsterdam Head Office for a training. Quite boring actually as I already know the system inside out. After training headed to the airport for my flight home.

kekeke…. i travel so much that i see hotel rooms more than my own bedroom.
shops in amsterdam open at 10am and closes at 8pm. there are not many shopping hours.
rm4.8 is expensive for me. a meal of burger king or mc donalds is 7 euros. that’s like rm33 for a burger, drink and fries, plus they charge for sauce! 1 euro per packet of mayonaise or ketchup.
