To me Amsterdam is the coolest looking city in the world. I love getting lost in the streets around the canals, because the architecture is so goddamn beautiful. And most of the coffee shops (where they sell coffee, not weed) and restaurants have really nice interior as well. Amsterdam is a freaking design city man. Cool is everywhere. If I compare it to Munich, the amount of well designed shops and restaurants is so much higher. Actually I would love to live in Amsterdam. It's not too big, not too small. Gorgeous buildings, I just never seem to see a supermarket anywhere though. You get fashion, you get great food, you get weed ( no I don't smoke weed, but still ! ), what's not to love ! And everyone speaks English so well !

I visited Amsterdam on a day trip with my boyfriend and his friends, because we were close to the border. I really wanted to eat good dim sum so we drove two hours from Düsseldorf. I didn't get dim sum in the end, because the other girl wanted duck, but at least I was able to enjoy Amsterdam once again. All the European capitals are so close, yet I never get to go, what a shame. Iam trying to be positive right now, actually I was close to crying when I realized that we were not going to have dim sum. In case you go to Amsterdam, have dim sum at "Oriental City" and please tell me whether it's good. If it's bad, maybe I will be less sad that I had to miss out on it. I have never had good dim sum in Germany, so when I go to other cities in Europe of which I know that they have a "big" chinese population, I always go for dim sum because I love dim sum. I also wanted to get some cheese, but couldn't either. Culinary-wise this trip was a fail. But at least I can say that I have been to Amsterdam again ! Last time was more than two years ago. Yay !

Nga is in New York for NYFW right now, and I hope she can share some cool impressions of the city with us soon as well.

Have fun babe !
