In Amsterdam, the main language is Dutch but most people also speak English and many of the signs are even in English rather than Dutch. Due to the number of tourists that visit every year, English has become more and more popular!
The Netherlands is a part of the European Union. Most members use the same currency - the Euro which means you can use the same money anywhere that they use the Euro. This makes it very convenient for travelers like me!
A bottle of water costs 1.5 euros.
My best meal in Amsterdam was the freshly made stroopwaffles we had! Stroopwaffles are two very thin waffles put together with a caramel filling that you can put chocolate on as well! Quite sugary for breakfast, but still yummy!
We listened to a lot of music in Dutch this week. Though I never knew what they were saying, the music seemed very upbeat and fun!
