I didn`t write long enough, sorry. I just appreciate the time that I spend in another places very much and want only to have a rest and a rest, and a rest... and not to pay attention to anything! And to write without paying attention is not good because thoughts will be lost. But now I am at home again and can tell about my adventures in Europe. I had many adventures...even too many!
My tongue ached after I told to five people what happened to me in Amsterdam, Austria and Prague. Therefore I don`t wanna tell anymore, will be better to write. Besides, I didn`t write long ago and feel a little bit strange because of this. It seems like I became very lazy and can`t find the time for creativity!
17 days were so crazy, unique and interesting that I even don`t know with what to begin. Perhaps, I will start to tell about Amsterdam because it was the first point of my travelling.
Oh Amsterdam...Probably I will never find right and suitable words for its description. It is impossible to describe this city: it is unique. Earlier I didn`t understand people who like to visit one city several times. After acquaintance to Amsterdam I perfectly understand them. Sometimes you find a place with which you fall in love at the first sight and forever; where you wanna come again and again. Amsterdam is an amazing city, you gotta visit it at least one time. Having arrived here once, you will want to go back! ;)

The city of freedom, kindness and tolerance, city of love, city of happiness. Probably all eulogizing determination is suitable for Amsterdam. I adore Netherlands, it`s my favorite country, I want to live there very much. I even write this blog about Amsterdam with orange letters because it is a color of Holland. I feel like for 100% happy person there. I look at high, broad-shouldered, beautiful Dutches-and my soul rejoices. I listen to this a bit strange language-and everything sings inside myself. I don`t know why Netherlands became my huge love but no one country can`t be more favorite for me still. Poland is boring, Germany is not original, Belgium is not for me...Austria and Czech Republic are wonderful places and I love them too very much but...Holland-one love forever! <3
And I will tell about my adventures. I think about them with smile because it was a very cool time!
Initially I planned to go to Austria. I even didn`t think about Holland in august. But when I went to file documents for the Austrian visa, people in the consulate told me that I can do it only in Belarus. Stupid discrimination! But I decided to get out in a different way: I have got the Dutch visa with which I didn`t have any problems, and went to my favorite Amsterdam at first. And I absolutely don`t regret!
When I fly up to Holland I lose a speech power. Other countries over which I flied looked usually from the height of bird`s flight. And Holland was selected with beautiful cozy lodges, awesome mills and green fields. I looked at it and I wanted to sob with happiness! My favorite Holland! My favorite country! Best cities! Most beautiful places! Lambs and cows in fields! Bicycles...bicycles...bicycles...Oh My God!!!
Yes-yes, I almost shouted it when we flew up to Amsterdam :) If I did it, people would think I am mad ;)
Amsterdam airport Schiphol...I love it too! I love EVERYTHING in Amsterdam and in Netherlands!!! This airport reminds me a huge shopping center where everything is always decorated, beautifully placed and thought over to trifles. Already only having visited the airport you fall in love with Holland ;)
My friend Loy met me. Probably you will count me crazy because I decided to spend the night at the house of person with whom I communicated only a month in the internet! Yes, it sounds and looks strange a little bit but I needed to spend one and a half days with someone. This guy is a very cool person! Kind, modest and always ready to help. The same nice as well as in online communication.
At first we went home, to bring my bag. 19:00 o`clock in the evening...we ride by the car around the city...I don`t see any person...
I couldn`t understand where all people were gone. Amsterdam was very empty! Only some cars...and that`s all!
Shock and surprise, after all I came to the gay pride time, where are all people?!
All of them were in the center of city. Parties and carousals were there and Loy lives in quiet green district where people don`t go outside after 18-19:00, stay at home and watch TV. I laughed and said when I will live in Netherlands I will never sit at home in such early time. Yes, I remember: when I was in Arnhem I didn`t see people outside in the evening, but it was november, cold weather and now is a hot august...This dutch way of life surprises me a little bit.
The district where Loy is living is really very-very quiet. We didn`t meet any person there. Nice brown houses-typical Netherlands. Absolute tranquillity. Fresh air, fields with cows and sheep, silence...Very-VERY equal roads! You can drive very fast and not to be afraid to turn over on some hummock because these hummocks don`t exist.
I loved Loy`s house, it was so cozy and everything was made with love. I felt the love in everything: in each photo, in each figure on the shelf, in style and patterns, in smal lamps and bulbs, in the yard...I looked at this house and admired. Dutches have the special unique style in design of housing. Perhaps, their houses and yards aren`t so big as in Austria but they`re very cozy and I wish to stay there forever!

I love cosiness. I don`t love a disoder. I love Holland because everything has an own place.
Having thrown my bag home, we decided to go to the center. I couldn`t wait to get quickly on my favorite Amsterdam streets, to see my favorite places and to look at gay pride of course! I heard that these prides are best exactly in Amsterdam and I wanted to see it very much. We went there on the scooter and it was cool even in spite of the fact that my hair turned into the slot =))
Probably, Loy was a little bit shy because he saw me in person therefore he forgot the road and got in the district where only black people lived. Their houses looked like bad russian hostels, we didn`t meet any white person! All black people looked at us all the time and it was very strange.
But I worried in vain. Black people are very kind in Holland. When I waved to one guy, he began to smile and started waving to me in reply. And then all black people waved to me :D Then I understood that it is not necessary to be afraid of anything and anybody in Netherlands. Everybody is very kind!
I thought that gay pride will be scale, cheerful and harmless...I was mistaken!!!
The whole center of the city was veeeery dirty. Streets and small streets, lanes and even the most quiet places were FILLED UP with GARBAGE! You won`t believe but I felt like in India! And even in Russia I didn`t see so much GARBAGE! All roads were filled up with bottles from beer, empty glasses and wrappers from French fries...I was in shock. What did these people make with my favorite city?!

P.S. No-no, this street was the most clean of all other streets!
And people were so awesome on that gay pride...I even couldn`t provide so original suits! I tried to count how many people dressed up like Conchita Wurst and left it because it was soooo many such guys. And others...I understood that Amsterdam accepted people with huge, rich and very bright imagination this summer. Even if someone looked a madman, all this was very-very cool!

And all people were so friendly and cheerful...maybe you think it was only because of the alcohol but no...everybody is such in Holland! I can`t explain in words what I feel to this adorable country and to this nice nation. Very beautiful men, all people are smiling and you feel so warm because even strangers like you. I fell in love with this country at the first sight and even if all people in the world will tell me that this country is naughty, I will love it cus people ain`t right! Holland is a country of freedom and smiles!
Almost all people were drunk. If I saw the same thing in Russia, I wouldn`t like it but I like everything in Netherlands. I think people can do it sometimes in so free city because our world is not easy, it is cruel and hard and will be nice to feel comfortable and free for a while. People shall look only at their acts instead of the life of other people.
We took pictures, enjoyed that crazy atmosphere, looked at awesome guys...I felt like the happiest person on the Earth. Netherlands is a special country. If Austria is a little similar to Germany, Russia-to Ukraine and Poland to Belarus, Holland isn`t similar to anything. It`s unique.

We went home at 1:00 o`clock at the night. We drove on the scooter, my hair fluttered, I wanted to sing and shout from happiness. When we went through the park, a hare jumped out directly under wheels of bushes. Thank goodness the hare was fast and we didn`t kill it because so great day would be saddened. But can you think...a hare!!! A hare in the city! I love everything what is connected to the nature! Holland is a place with cars, big houses and bicycles and a place with animals and nature too :) Perfect place for living!
The next day surprised me very much. I didn`t see strange and bright people, no...
You won`t believe, probably. I woudln`t believe too but I saw it.
Amsterdam was very dirty on saturday. It was filled up with garbage chock-full. Everything was dirty everywhere and looked like in any country but not in Netherlands. However, the next day on sunday we saw...PERFECTLY CLEAN CITY.
Shock.
When we celebrate holidays in Russia our streets are dirty after them too. And they are such during one week, I think. Anybody doesn`t even want to clean the city. If you will come to the area where I live-you`ll be terrified because everything is very dirty. And people in Amsterdam made it clean for ONE NIGHT.
Good fellows, Dutches! This is the true ability to work! Probably it`s good that taxes are very high there: it is necessary to maintain the perfect purity on the streets, anyhow. I admire this organization. We will never have it in Russia, our people like to make places where they live dirty and awful.
And Amsterdam is great. I saw so many cute gay couples :3 You can be spat but I love them! Because in most cases they have sincere ralationships during all life. You can say that gays destroy the family value but what can be value, for example, in russian family where the husband drinks alcohol all the time, scoffs at his wife and kids, where only scandals and abuse occur? If to choose between so " RIGHT " family and family of gays where everybody loves each other, I will choose gays without any doubts.

And fortunately, we were lucky with weather. It was very hot. Crowds of tourists who walked to and fro. Few times I almost lost Loy! Streets in Amsterdam are not big and not wide. I like it, I love this cosiness. Other Dutch cities are even cozier.
I had to fly to Vienna at 20:00. I wanted to go to new country but I didn`t want to leave my favorite Amsterdam. Though I went back there in august 17 ;)
Unfortunately, anything special didn`t happen in august 17 and 18 because it was a doomsday in Amsterdam. Huge rain, cold and wind :( I was upset a little bit. We went to the cinema with Loy and it was only what we did.
I was sad, I didn`t want to fly back to St. Petersburg. I really love Europe. When you see the life in another countries inside, you understand how Europe is much better than Russia. Only the richest russian people can buy an own house and even usual european people (not millionaires) have own houses. I think you understand the differance...
I had to fly back to St. Petersburg at 6 o`clock in the morning. Loy worked at night therefore he brought me to the airport at 00:30. I drank a huge cup of cappuccino that not to fall asleep and sat with my bags in a waiting room. I looked at the people. Europeans are more beautiful than russians. Maybe I shouldn`t think so but it is true. Dutches are so beautiful people that I wanna love all of them! I fall in love in Holland each five minutes!
At 3 o`clock something very cool happened to me.
I listened to music and tried not to fall asleep. Then my ipod was dischared and I just sat on one place. And suddenly I saw some guy who went to me and smiled. He seemed very familiar to me. Probably I wanted to sleep so much that I had hallucinations.
But no! It was my friend from the internet!
You just only imagine: this person read on facebook that I will be in Amsterdam and go back to Russia at night. He asked me in what time I fly but I left facebook and didn`t open it anymore. And then my friend went to the airport at random and looked for me almost two hours there! Just because he wanted to see me in person and communicate with me!!!
I guess you understand what I felt. I was in a huge shock! I couldn`t talk during five nimutes probably! I didn`t understand anything absolutely!
This guy is a very cool. We drank a coffee and talked. He asked me about my rest, about Austria. Very charming and nice, and it`s a pity that I forgot to take a picture with him :( I liked him very much and hope we will see each other again. Oh my God, I love Netherlands!!! I love Dutches!!!
Of course I didn`t wanna leave this amazing country. I was afraid to start crying in the plane. But I know that I will go to my favorite Holland again and I will try to move there. It is necessary to aim at it. I feel the most happy person there, dipped in absolute tranquillity.
