My second time in the capital of the Nethelands – and I just loved it. What did I do the whole time? Eating bitterballen, talking in Dutch to strangers, visiting the Stedelijk Museum, drinking „glaasjes rode wijn“ and doing some shopping in 2nd-Hand stores … Tot gauw Amsterdam!

During my lunchbreak I spotted in the streets of Mitte two wonderful lettered chalkboards. They belong to the book store Hundt Hammer Stein, who is located in Alte Schönhauser Straße (2 minutes by walk from U8-station Weinmeisterstraße). Check it out if you’re around in the fancy, central district of Berlin.

Exploring Amsterdam in the golden autumn was marvelous. I will definitively return next year to this place – eating some bitterballen with mustard, improving my Dutch and riding a bicycle.
