Did you know that Amsterdam is one of Toronto's twin cities? Gabriel and I discovered this while walking near the Toronto Harborfront. We came across a bridge that looked very Dutch and modern. It turns out, it's called the Amsterdam Bridge, and Amsterdam actually has its very own Torontobrug as well! What a coincidence that I've lived in both of these great cities. Which one do I prefer? Amsterdam. Which one do I think I will most likely live in the future? Toronto. I would say they're definitely not identical twins, but it's nice to have a piece of Amsterdam here in Toronto.

Amsterdam is such a magical place to be.
I hope you're enjoying being back in CN-
And (also) hope that your apartment is moving along swiftly... which it looks like it is. Congrats :)
I'm currently doing the same... and our kitchen table still hasn't been delivered! )I tell you, the problems of the first world ;))
Cheers!
wow, thanks for sharing this
I love those Dutch bridges as well.
And as for not being in AMS, at least your mail comes in English.
Very cool, I actually just discovered the Torontobrug this past weekend while walking around De Pijp.
