Life in Amsterdam - 2

This post I ll try to put what all things I have found interesting/New/funny/good/not so good in Amsterdam.
1) Firstly, the jeans guys here wear. Too good. Excellent.
2) People here are tall, when compared to people in India.
3) We have buses, Trams. We make use of chip karts(which mean bus tickets). We need to show it to driver, when we take up a journey. We have to say zones, like 1 zone, 2 zone depending on the distance of destination.
4) Everything is punctual, 8 15 bus will come at sharp 8 15. Even in office, everyone will be by 9, and leave by 5. Luch will be at 12 30, and you ll see everyone back to their seats by 1 15.
5) You have to depend on Pizzas and Burgers. You cannot expect Indian food here.
So you have to be flexible enough to accept food here.
6) Temparature here is around 12 degree centigrade. Hmm too cool. People always have coat over them. Sun sets here at 9 30 PM, 10 PM in the evening...strange...but yes. At 9 pm in the evening, you ll feel as if it is 3 in the afternoon.
7) We had Buklava, it is a kind of sweet. too good.

More to come...
