Would you like your water with gas or no gas?

Well I'm finally in Mbale! But to backtrack a little I've been in Amsterdam the past few days having a blast. Jaime and I stayed in the hostel Dirty Nellys, which is right in Dam Square, a great location. We packed a lot into just a few short days: Anne Frank, Van Gogh, Heineken, canal tour, etc. Speaking of the canal tour, if anyone is planning a trip to Amsterdam you must check out this canal tour that we did. It was alot smaller than the regular ones, you could bring your own food, wine, beer, etc. and it's all run by donations which go to restoring old boats.


Everyone was so friendly, and can I just say the Austrailians are everywhere! All my friends who have traveled always talk about meeting Australians and I had the same experience in Amsterdam. It was fun meeting people from all over the world. Jaime and I befriended the group of Columbians and went out with them a couple of nights- they're halarious! and they taught us how to salsa, got to love the latin men.


While Amsterdam was great, I definitly had momemnts where I felt like a dumb american. The toiletts are differnt, the water has bubbles (gas) in it, and they speak Dutch. But that's what makes the travels fun and always an adventure.
