2019-07-25-26 the First day of Amsterdam Trip

 I wanted to join the Urban Sketchers Annual Symposium since I join the New York Urban Sketchers. This year, I managed my vacation time to go few days. 

Start my vacation with a wine at JFK. 


Watching "Isle of Dogs" on the airplane


Picking up my "I am Amsterdam" Card at the at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
I choose 120 Hour City Card for free public transport and Museums.

Ride Nederland Sespoorwegen to the city. Very clean and quiet.

of course, I got lost... 

but I found my way to Amsterdam Central Station

First, I need to have coffee after the flight and train ride.
I find a cute café close to the first Urban Sketchers' location online.

Zuivere Koffie
Utrechtsestraat 39, 1017 VH Amsterdam, Netherlands
made the first little sketch :)

Cute backyard


walking towers to my first Urban Sketcher's Symposium Sketchwalk location.


Sketching "Skinny Bridge"

I couldn't find the right hotel close to downtown because this trip was last minutes decision...
But this hotel was end-up to great choice. The hotel's room was big and clean, 
serves great breakfast and great service. 
Also, I realized the downtown has too many casinos, bar and marijuana cafés, so staying downtown could be very noisy.

Hotel Casa Amsterdam
Eerste Ringdijkstraat 4, 1097 BC Amsterdam, Netherlands

there are canals everywhere

Today's restaurant is 
De Kas
Kamerlingh Onneslaan 3, 1097 DE Amsterdam, Netherlands

Very famous for eclectic dishes made from organic ingredients grown on-site
menu changes every day
The restaurant serves fixed menus (lunch 3 or 4 dishes, dinner 5 0r 6 dishes). There is no à la carte.
Very creative dishes


so beautiful
very flavorful summer cabbage with miso

so many flowers 💕



It was the best experience at the restaurant in my life!
the best service and the best healthy food.
