I have been living in Amsterdam for about 3 years now. Since bicycle is my mode of transportation, I have let my US drivers license expire. For some strange reason Holland does not like US drivers so I could not transfer my license here? They think they come in a box of Corn Flakes or something and anyone can get one??

Next Monday I will have to take lessons to get a Dutch one. If you have never been to Amsterdam, driving in the city is chaos! Bikes have the right of way and my new lessons will be in the city center with all the bikes and trams. I have been driving for 16 years and cannot tell you the last time I got nervous getting into a car.

When I went to Amsterdam one of the impressions I had is only the tourists were fat. Locals on their bikes were everywhere lol. How is it for an American in Amsterdam? I remember it as a great city with great museums and parks and such.
