Minimundus, Austria
I've just uploaded the photos from Minimundus on Picassa and I still can't believe how my sons have changed over those 4 years.

How untrue is all of this. Amsterdam was as clean and safe as any other city, and it is this enormous number of bikes that makes it special. It's amazing to see that everybody in Amsterdam rides a bike, even tourists. All the bikes are old, unappealing and cheap, so if they're stolen, which is not unusual, the owner won't lose a lot of money. The houses are one of a kind, lining the streets along the water canals that are crossed by more than a thousand bri...
