  Well actually I've been back for two weeks now. Just too lazy to do the update.
  
  Anyway here are the photos:
  
  
  The Royal Place, under maintenance now and the queen doesn't live there (in the Hague).
  
  
  Beurs van Berlage, used to be a commodity exchange, now a conference venue. We had a banquet there.
  
  
  The Rijksmuseum, the national museum, hosting Rembrandt's masterpiece The Night Watch.
  
  
  There are hundreds of canals in Amsterdam, with such boat houses on each side of them.
  
  
  One of the canals
  
  
  Jacob and the cheese factory
  
  
  Where the cheese are from. 10 liter milk to make one kilo cheese.
  
  
  The windmill closest to Amsterdam. To bad I didn't have time to go inside.
  
  Didn't take any picture of the coffee shops or red light district though, since that's not advised and may get the crap beat out of you.
  
  And some new music for today, two bands with weird names.

  BTW, It's really a pain in the ass when you are working with some wannabe musician who can't sing or play any instrument reasonably well, or operate anything that runs electricity, or write tunes that don't bore people to death, or pay one penny for production. Seriously, throw 100 grand out and you will get a record done no matter how untalented you are.
