The break in Munich was over and it was time to move to the next destination – Amsterdam. The decision making process to select the place of choice was an interesting one. We first looked at all the neighboring countries...Austria was struck off the list because we went there a couple of years back. Switzerland was struck off by me as I was there for more than a week during the ISC Symposium. Rahul was not too kicked about Germany as he covered the last World Cup there. France and Italy were a strict no no as they are countries one would rather visit with his partner...Thus we had to finally settle for the party capital of the world – Amsterdam.
It was important to make the selection of Amsterdam look strategic due to the sullen reputation of the extra curricular activities in the city...
The red light district was not half as impressive as it is projected. However we did bump into a lot of Indians there…more than what we had seen in Munich and Amsterdam combined. I had to restrict my activities to what can be termed moral for a married man...watched an erotic show and got a ‘simple’ Thai massage (not together dummy!)
With Holland’s amazing run at the World Cup this place had suddenly come alive and as management would say...We were indeed at the Right Place at the Right Time!
