Belgium Brussels Atomium, Holland Zaanse Schans, Amsterdam Red Light District Europe Trip Day 1 Experiences

today i woke up at 7.15am.
well, i was awakens by the coach saying that "Bonjour" and we just reach the Shell station and there was a Pauzo restaurant nearby in the morning.
somehow the toilet entrance fee require us to pay €0.50 for and it was my first time to encounter such machine but you can use the printed receipt voucher to buy something in the shop in return.
anyways, i just return the voucher ticket to the coach when he gave us the coins for the entry.
moreover, it was first time to see Euro currency in the shop and i just bought an Evian water for €2.10 which is quite expensive as shown below.
besides, i do feel that it is quite difficult to know whether where we can refill the water in Europe country because it is quite awkward if i refill the water inside the toilet right?

after that, we continue to sit inside the bus and the coach advice was "all the stranger who came approach and give you flower or string line, don't say anything and walk away" and i just feel that Europe country seems to be a dangerous country.
around 8.45am we reach Belgium Brussels city and the bus just stop by at the tourist spot for use to take the Atomium sculprit building but it was so fast because we make a move again to the center of the city as the coach say that they are famous for Belgium chocolate as below.
after spend another €0.50 for the toilet, we make a move to Holland's Zaanse Schans at 10.25am as below.
and the coach say that "whenever you go out from the coach, somebody is watching you".
therefore we must be always be extra becareful no matter where we are.
during the journey on the way to the Netherlands, the tour guide do shared a lot of story.

for example, the "Go to Holand" terms for Chinese do carry it's meaning behind whereby during the olden days, the dutch will catch those people who offended them and put them into the Indonesia country.
therefore when others people ask the parents about where their children go, they parent would reply to others people that "their son might be go to Holand" which is means somewhere that they would not be able to see their children anymore.
another story was related to the "Holand water, Holand potato, Holand cards (pai) but it is quite time consuming to explain about it as i don't really have much time to write this post.
in fact, there was a lot of picture that i wish to share but i wouldn't able to do so due to the slow internet connection of hotels's Wifi and trying to balance the sleeping time.

anyways, we do not go to Luxembourg this time due to last year student say they was not interested with it although it was a duti free zone area.
around 12.10pm we stop somewhere near the center city of Netherlands and i just bought the famous waffer for €1 which is quite nice to eat and spend another €1.50 for Belgium souvenir as below.
besides, i also spend another €3 for the chicken sandwich with coca cola promotion.
around 1.10pm we make a move again and reached somewhere in Holland Zaanse Schans that is famous for Windmill and some cheese as the tour guide say there were famous for smoke cheese as below.
then i spend another €11 Euro to buy Holland gift souvenir.
besides, i do heard friend talk about another friend that had lose £2000 pound for gambling in Genting Casino Sheffield.

somehow it is quite subjective to talk about this matter because rich people would definitely have more money than those "poor" ones.
sometime i do wonder that if i am rich, i would not be able to start up this blog by "whining" writing my feelings right?
around 3.35pm make a move from the Holland Windmill and arrived the Canal boat station around 5.30pm as we need to spend another €10 for boat riding as below.
somehow the bot riding was just okay to me and it took about 1 hour journey.
then we head to one of the Asiadam Chinese restaurant as we was served with 6 dish and 1 soup as shown below.
frankly speaking, the dish seems to be consider quite "cheapskate" because it is very little.

after that, we walked to the Red Light District and feel a little "open minded" when saw illegal drugs such as Cannabis, also known as marijuana drug and prostitution (sex) is legal sold here as below.
somehow it does remind me about the "Red Light District to stop human trafficking" video as shown below or the link >>> Here.
around 7.30pm we make a move from Amsterdam and "sleep" in the bus to go to Tulip Inn Sevenum hotel near Germany.
finally we arrived the Tulip Inn Sevenum (Kleefsedijik 29, 5975 NV - Sevenum, The Nederlands) although the bus driver seems to be drive in the wrong way as it took about 3 and half hour for us to reach the destination as shown below.
sorry no picture due to slow internet connection and it is quite late in the midnight. (no time update yesterday post, re-updated at 15th September using Achat Hotel paid Wifi)
(Self Expenses note: Today €28.60, £Unknown, Yesterday total €0, £133.40, Total up to date €28.60, £133.40)
