BLINDED BY THE LIGHTS

This time on Friday I will be walking around Amsterdam. I cannot contain my excitement! As part of my uni course we have been told that we need to undertake 'field work' in a major city for our final project. After some searching online, I found that it was cheaper to go abroad than to go to London. I've paid around £150 for flights and accommodation, for 2 nights and 3 days. Whilst I'm there, it's the final weekend of Amsterdam International Fashion Week, and although I'm not lucky enough to get tickets to the proper thing, they hold a 'spin off' called Downtown, which has events and shows for the public to attend, and most of them are free. Bonus. Whilst I'm there, I plan on getting on lots of trams and just taking pictures of everything! There are a few shopping streets I want to go to, a photography museum and a museum of bags and purses too. Obviously I want to go to the Red Light District too, as you can't go to Amsterdam and go and have a sneaky peek! Has anybody been to Amsterdam before? I'm not sure what to expect! I'm already packed and ready to go..take me to the airport!
