Let alone to travel the world, to go abroad alone you must be a man with money, if it can not be said to be rich, because to walk out of the country, especially to a country which is quite high cost of living, such as Japan, the United States, or Austria, we certainly should bring enough money, in addition to buying air tickets, hotel costs, as well as to eat and drink during the trip.
When I became a reporter for Reuters news agency I often assigned to cover the trial members of the Petroleum Exporting Countries OPEC, which when it is composed of 13 countries, including Indonesia, when it became a member of OPEC Indonesia, because Indonesia's oil production is still largely exported, now Indonesia has Again not a member of OPEC, because the amount of oil imports far more than that in exports.
Incidentally OPEC headquarters is located in Vienna, Austria, so as part of a trial conducted in Vienna OPEC, sometimes not ever trial conducted outside of Vienna, such as in Bali, Indonesia, for example.

Kotalinnya I often flown home from the trial mepiput OPEC is the city of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the city of choice for my ticket to the Vienna always through the city.
Visiting the city of Amsterdam, Netherlands, we are usually a lot to reminisce with people who once colonized Indonesia for 350 years, because when it (the 1980'an) are still a lot of Dutch people (Dutch native) born Indonesian who love to be met Indonesian people.
Amsterdam city famous for its dam the strongest in the world:
Streets in Amsterdam
Arrived in Amsterdam at night does not mean there is no activity. Upon check-in at Hoteli and shower, we went straight out to the streets. Clock showing almost 10 pm, but the atmosphere around Amsterdam Central Station where our hotel was still fairly crowded.
You do not expect to find a magnificent sights such as the Colosseum or the Eiffel Tower or a metropolis like London. Amsterdam is a city that offers an exotic ambience with its distinctive buildings that once the ancient classics. Dozens of canals that cut through the city is making every street corner looks beautiful. Time seemed to slow here, enjoy the relaxed city of Amsterdam.
Fly to Amsterdam:
You can find information Schipol Airport and cheap tickets
The area is known as the Old Center (old town) is a center of tourism as well as here include areas called red light district. Although the name is quite frightening and if in another city usually shunned by people, the red light district in Amsterdam became one of the icons and the main destination for tourists. Prostitution is prohibited in many countries it legally and become the main income countries such as the pramunikmat (hehe ... disopankan bit of name) must be large enough to pay the tax to the state.
To go to the red light district in Amsterdam is actually not too difficult. Its location in southern Amsterdam Central Station and the east of Damrak street. Out of the station to the left, then cross over and trace the Damrak street. There are canal path on the left, trace to find the turnoff to the left. Well start here let instinct take you, just follow the crowd of people here to Zeedijk road. Area that consists of several blocks and split this canal life began at 5 pm until the early morning hours of 3-4.
Are common people and the streets come to see it through the full area of the red windows. There is absolutely no need to fear or danger disturbed criminals because the police (although not visible) just in full. Which certainly do not try to take photos desperate towards the sex workers, some reports on the Internet said the cameras can be taken away and destroyed. This area also contained some Sexshop, peep shows, bars, up to 24-hour restaurant,
It's late .... because the wife brought dare ga ... so long at the red light :) deh, deh back to the hotel.
Wake up early in the morning for a great breakfast, we met with a waitress who could speak Indonesian .. apparently parents are Ambon who migrated (or were forced to migrate seems) by the former Dutch. Well, do not be surprised many Indonesian restaurants in Amsterdam with the menu, our dishes including quite popular, even though the price has joined the Euro.
Transportation in Amsterdam operated by GVB, include tram and bus, metro train also included. To explore Amsterdam is actually quite use that has 18 tram lines. Do not imagine that such ancient tram in Hong Kong. Tram in Amsterdam is a sophisticated mode of transportation, fast, and free of pollution. Tickets can be purchased in bentu strippenkaart, namely as timesheet ceklok, which contains 15 strips for Euro 6.90 (Euro now 7:30).
This card can be used on the metro and tram. Once a trip on the tram melee will be stamped 2 strip, while the away strip will be stamped 3. This card can be used as long as the honest sharing and still pretty. If confused, just take the tram and submit the card to the conductor to be stamped.
Another new card implemented in Amsterdam is the OV-chipkaart, such as Oyster or Octopus card that can be recharged.
To the Netherlands, and of course we want to see windmills. Amsterdam is not really the right place to see windmills. Eindhoven is a more appropriate place. But if you are curious and just had time in Amsterdam, we are able to Molen Van Sloten windmill, a little far indeed. The location can be reached by taking tram no.2 until the last station, then continued to walk about 15 minutes.
This windmill function more as accessories because there was no wind is quite strong in the center of Amsterdam.
Back to Amsterdam Centraal Station, we hired bikes at Bicycle Rental MacBike. Their shop is located exactly in the station building facing out. Bicycle rental day will be charged 7 euros.
It should be noted that the average used bike in Amsterdam is 'without teeth' alias genjot wrote, comes with 2 different keys (bike would be lost if it is not locked). One more thing is this bike no hand brake, brake way is to reverse the direction of genjotan feet. May initially be unfamiliar bike pedal this model, but gradually you will enjoy sightseeing Amsterdam with this bike. We are free to bring a bike to anywhere as long as it had to be returned before 5:30 pm.
Amsterdam is a city that really pay attention to cyclists. Everywhere there is a bike lane, and indeed many people use bikes everywhere. Cars and motorcycles will succumb when faced with the bike. However obey the signs and noticed the bike zones.
With this bike, we start heading to the shopping street around here. Starting from the flower market in Bloemenmarkt up to Leidsestraat and Prinsengracht. In a book store, price books and novels travel books so cheap, until 'forced' to our entire stock.
Because the form of roads and canals in Amsterdam on average similar, easy once we found they just circling somewhere. To make sure that always look at the map (while cycling) to search for points of interest.
One more place we visited was the Dam Square (pedestrian Museum is a replica of his Fatahilah Dam Square). This area is a gathering place for the people, sit and see flocks of pigeons. There is also a museum Madame Tussauds, a replica of London.
If you want to go to Keukenhof, the tulip garden open only in spring, how should head for Amsterdam Schipol airport used to use the metro, then take a special shuttle bus number. 58 that brings tourists to the Keukenhof every 15 minutes.
Later that night after dinner and grab the suitcase, we use the metro to the Amstel station. Out of the station there is a pool that will be our Eurolines bus ride to get to the divergent, Germany with Nana Sunarto, a reporter for Reuters news agency, which so assigned Reuters Bureau Chief in Europe, located in Berlin (Continued).
