After seven or so weeks I still can't get too enthusiastic about the Lowlands, but I do really really love my neighbourhood. Every morning and every night I still admire the view from my bedroom window. But more than that it's the vibe I love. It's a good mixture of locals and foreigners, and has a villagy feel to it. People are friendly and there are heaps of nice restaurants and some great shops. I am o so happy I didn't give up my apartment before moving to London (though if I had I may not have come back but let's not go down that route).
Two weeks ago my friend Heather and her man came over from London, and next month it's Justin from Seattle. Next Viv from London. And hopefully there'll be some friends of friends who need a place to crash sometimes as well. Love having guests and showing them non-touristy Amsterdam. It may not be London but it's still a decent place!
