Six magical petals

During april to may Amsterdam turns into flower paradise. It inflates with millions of tulips making it the most colorful and mixed city on the Earth. You can see tulips everywhere: on squares, canals, lamps and showcases etc.

The most popular colors are red and white, and the most rare are black and blue. The red tulip with white edging is a classical harmonious flower combination stimulating a sense of gladness.

And black and blue bells you can see more often at the pictures then in the real life.

Blue tulip presents just in mind of floriculturists but there are a lot of sorts including the words in their names such as blauw. It is considered that there is no DNA responsible for blue color.

The first tulips came to Holland from Turkey 400 years ago. Exotic flowers with sharp long petals decorated the sultan’s castles and has been in respect in people minds.

Nowadays Holland exports hundreds of sorts of tulips abroad. Only men can cultivate tulips!

So, I think that you enjoy finding any useful information about history of tulips. And as usual you are welcome to add something that you know. Please feel free to post comments. But I ask you to post only relevant comments NO SPAM allowed! Thank you.

Amsterdam - the symbol of enterprise, freedom and cosmopolitanism

Amsterdam… This city absorbs smell of the sea and flowers, cheese and fresh milk, Amsterdam has been poetized by poets and artists, it has been built up by famous architects. From this place a flotillas are gone to uncertainty, they conquered continents and won many sea battleships.

The origin of Amsterdam wrapped around legends.

The city where temptations are at every step. The cult of light drugs and easy of access sex gave to Amsterdam the glory of the city with the most free dispositions on the continent. Night begins here at 6 p.m. There are a lot of hippy with guitars and bear “Heineken” near the canal. Public hurry up to night shows and it sounds a music from restaurants. Whores open curtains inside the showcases at the “Red Lights” district. The day is finished but the life is continuing. Night life is very rich and various: every day there are approximately 40 concerts and theatre shows, thousands of disco and bars.

Starting from the Old Part of the city you can choose two ways: going to Ladeseplane and Rembrandtplane. You can find a huge variety of restaurants there. But most part of tourists prefer Rembrandtplane because there it can be found very unusual establishments. Striptease bars can be placed here too. Teenagers prefer disco and pop bars with techno, house and rap styles of music. Please do not surprised if you here the whisper “Coca..coca” and please be very carefully to buy heroine from street people – it is prohibited by the law! But at the local coffeeshop you can try light drugs – for instance hashish – absolutely legally.

Further you can reach the district of Red Lights. Oh… There is the biggest condom shop in Europe. In the center is situated famous “Sex Theatre” Next – showcases with pretty girls for cash. Night walks over the Amsterdam are safe. Till the early morning the doors of the bars are opened…
