Last of the Europe Pictures

The last two places I went were Munich and Amsterdam - loved Munich, hated Amsterdam. I'm not even entirely sure why I liked Munich so much. I didn't do a whole lot there but the city was extremely clean, everyone was polite and the air conditioning in my hotel room was top notch - pretty much a diametric opposite of Rome. Amsterdam may be a stoner's paradise but for a straight upstanding citizen such as myself I didn't approve of all the drugs and carrying-on.

Munich - Where they do Gothic right.




This is the entrance to the Dachau concentration camp. The gate says "Arbeit Macht Frei" which translates as "work shall set you free". This makes much more sense than my translation of "all workers must wash hands".


A memorial at the concentration camp.


The Michelin Man's older, handsomer, smarter and thinner older brother. Oooh how the Michelin Man hates him.


If memory serves, this one was taken in Amsterdam


You'll have to click to enlarge the picture and see all that the club offers but "ficken auf der buhne" is one of their specialities. You don't even want to know what that translates to.


The hidden staircase leading up to the attic where Anne Frank and her family hid. I don't know why it was so hard to find them, there were signs all over the place.
