My stay in Amsterdam was quick, but thoroughly enjoyable. Though the airport is without a doubt the finest I've ever witnessed, I decided to spend my layover in the city proper. After exchanging my first Euros and managing to find my way to the ultra-modern train (that I'm told is utterly inferior to the good international trains), I enter the city with a mission: to find a decent Internet connection. As I've already mentioned, that mission ended in failure. However, that failure wasn't without a great cup of tea and sandwich by one of the city's many peaceful canals.
