Forget about the coffeeshops, Geert Wilders and all the other stupid things we're known for... this is the real Amsterdam! This is my Amsterdam :-)

Beauty. Absolute, perfect beauty.

Joy, the cold, gliding on frozen water, friendship, family, everything.

I love it all.

Down voted because it is 2012 and they don't want me to watch this on my mobile. Who even has a desktop anymore
