运河游船(Sex and drugs and Rock and Roll)

See in line for some English … the actual title of this entry is Canal Boat Tour …

7月10日 星期二

今天上午下雨,基本没做什么,整理完毕后徒步去寻找几个PJG父亲拍过照片的地方。经过询问,终于找到了其中一个地方 (我不在这里记录了,他自己写吧 😀)。吃了午饭后,我俩坐了运河游船。来阿姆斯特丹怎么能不坐运河游船呢? 雨还是时断时续,但是感觉凉爽,比晒在太阳下好很多。游船沿着几个运河游了1个小时,沿途介绍了几处运河边的建筑。阿姆斯特丹总共有165个大大小小的运河,1281个架在运河上的桥。

Tuesday, July 10

It was raining this morning and we basically didn’t do much. After lunch we took another stroll through the city and took some photos from places James’ father had been. It was a little like a treasure hunt as we had only vague idea of where some of the places were – we had a lot of fun 🙂 In the afternoon, we took a canal cruise – I mean how can you come to Amsterdam without a canal cruise? The rain was still on and off, but it was cool, much better than the hot sun. The boat cruised through several canals for an hour and introduced many famous buildings along the way. By the way, Amsterdam has a total of 165 large and small canals and 1,281 bridges over the canals.

一个桥底下的浮雕字母上不知道是谁放了很多酒瓶子 People had placed beer bottles on the tops of the letters …
不敢相信吧?这是我们的小船长 😂😂 At one point, the Captain allowed this little kid to pilot the boat.
一个船屋-阿姆斯特丹因为土地资源紧缺,很多人会住在船屋里,而且合法的船屋是有政府批准的固定停靠点的,并且有电,水,煤气,非法的就没有这些基本的设施供应了。A houseboat.
看得出来那些倾斜的房子吧? Can you see the tilted houses?

阿姆斯特丹的屋顶墙有很多形状,比较多的是以下几种:

The roofs of Amsterdam have many shapes. Here is a list of the types of gables:

漏斗式屋顶墙 Spout Gables
左边的是钟型屋顶墙,右边是脖子屋顶墙  The left is a Bell Gable, on the right is a Neck Gable
这个是在布鲁日常见的阶梯屋顶墙  This is the Stepped Gable like in Bruges

开放的荷兰

要说起荷兰印象,当然除了风车木鞋郁金香,不得不说这里的大麻妓女安乐死。 这次我俩并没有特意去参观风车村和制作木鞋的厂子,而郁金香花园只有在三月到五月开放,所以没能有机会去看那闻名世界的郁金香。然而说到大麻,那可以说这里是无敌开放了。这里的大麻被做成烟,蛋糕,糖果,冰激淋等产品,而且卖此类商品的店铺遍地都是,和那些卖正常甜点的店就混杂在一起;很多所谓的咖啡厅也都是可以吸食大麻的地方。 再有一个无敌开放的方面就是性产业,在荷兰性产业是合法的,性工作者和其它职业一样是被政府认可的一项职业。阿姆斯特丹就有著名的红灯区。不过那里是不允许对着那些性工作者拍照片的。 周边的很多商店里也经营各种与性相关的小玩意儿。

Netherlands Open Society

To talk about the impressions of the Netherlands, of course, in addition to the windmills, wooden shoes and tulips, you’d have to add marihuana and sex. This time, we did not specifically visit a windmill or a factory for making wooden shoes and the tulip garden was only open from March to May, so we did not have the opportunity to see the world-famous tulips place. However, when it comes to marijuana, it can be said that it is every where! The marijuana here is made into products such as cigarettes, cakes, candies, ice cream, etc. And the shops selling such goods are everywhere, mixed with those that sell normal desserts; many so-called “Coffee Shops” , a place to smoke marijuana are everywhere. Another impression you are left with is the sex industry, which is legal in the Amsterdam. Sex workers are a government-approved profession like any other profession. Amsterdam has a famous red light district, but unfortunately it is not  permitted to take pictures of the sex workers 😂🤣😂. Many shops around the city also sell a variety of sex-related gadgets.

白天拍的红灯区,因为没有人所以拍照片是允许的。晚上,那些工作者就站在那些橱窗(中国人好像叫金鱼缸)里招揽客人。The red light district as seen during the day.  In the evening, the workers stand in the window displaying their wares … well underwear. (In Chinese the name they use for these booths translates to “goldfish tank”)

这条街里有很多金鱼缸,也有很多慕名而来的看热闹的过往游客。There are a lot of goldfish tanks on this street, and tourists flock here to see the lively nightlife.

今天很轻松的在阿姆斯特丹度过了最后一天,明天去德国柏林。

We spent a very relaxing easy day as our the last day in Amsterdam. Tomorrow we go to Berlin, Germany!
