Amsterdam, the largest city in the State Windmills which has an official name Niederland or low country never stopped charming the tourists from across the globe. 
 
Even in December when the cold winds of the Arctic hit the skin and bone-chilling, and if we were in an open space for too long, ear or nose can not be protected as if numb, Amsterdam have never lied to entertain you! 
 
Time just show around 18:30 when I had just finished a Javanese-Surinamese food in the surrounding area Abert Cuyp Market. But the sky city of Amsterdam has since 2 hours turned into pitch dark because the sun would rather resign early. 
 
By Tram no 16 I drove smoothly toward Centraal Station. And in the crowd the night, I get off at the stop Damrak, within just a few hundred meters from the main station in the Netherlands this. 
 
Although the weather was cold, but the atmosphere was warm, knowing just as shops, souvenir stores, restaurants, museums, money changer, and also stalls selling travel packages lined up waiting for customers. While thousands of colorful lights shaded streets in the city that never deserted it. 
 
I turn right down the street and small alley reserved for pedestrians. The circumstances surrounding the more lively because the road more narrow and passersby even more crowded. 
 
After a few times straight, turn left and turn right, then I was up in the famous nightlife district known as "Red Light District". According to the story, the red light area which is located at Zeedijk is one of the most extensive zone of the evening entertainment and the world famous.
