leather satchels. But, as the service continued into the 20th century, cities,

But when
the sun goes down, the partying begins. In the big clubs and in coffee shops,
tourists gather to hang out, talk politics and smoke.
Several
areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam. And they’re
all within a short cab ride of each other.
For example, Dam
Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open markets, concerts and
other events. Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there~ And
there is the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall.
But
