Singing in the Rain

30 May 2010 - Its raining in Amsterdam. I am home! The only thing that is missing is my bicycle. The rain came somewhat unexpectedly - as it was a beautiful day yesterday - so it is hilarious to see people juggle with umbrellas, shopping bags and their Amsterdam tourist maps. Amsterdam welcomes about 2 million visitors per year, but travelling to Holland should come with a rain-warning. Some tourists come well prepared and dress like condoms, but they are the exceptions. Most look like wet cats on the riverside. The only thing I forgot is that the Dutch rain is cold - and it makes you feel unpleasantly soaked. Its not like the Hong Hong rain, which always invites me to imitate the famous scene "from Singing in the Rain. Dancing in the shower.
