Markets in Amsterdam


After having Dim Sum for the first time in A'dam (about a month ago), figured out it's not that expensive and the quality is not bad! Ana-Maria, CY, Erica, and Mr. Malm and I planned to hit Albert Cuyp to check it out.


I find the markets here amazing. You see it on TV, you think you know what to expect and then you attend and it's a whole other world! The markets here are amazing as you can almost buy anything from toiletries, to luggage, to clothes, to the freshest produce! Albert Cuyp is the largest and most famous one in Amsterdam. Also got to try a famous King Size Stroopwaffle (these things are sickingly good!!!!).



Ana and I went buck buying the fruits cause to me it seemed like the blueberries and the strawberries were quite cheap considering they are out of season.

Flowers here are grossingly cheap since it's Hollands largest export product. You can get orchids for like 7CAD, or how about a dozen roses for 2 Euros?!?!? Man valentine's day gifts would be a lto cheaper here!
