For my way finding post, I chose to use and discuss this, a map of Amsterdam. This past weekend I made a quick trip to visit Amsterdam. I don't think I have ever been to a better place before in my life. The city is absolutely astonishing. The cityscape with its old buildings and famous canals is stunningly beautiful. The people are absolutely amazing there. Everyone speaks English since they have to learn it as a second language in school growing up. This made it really easy to go around town and enjoy everything. I also chose this map because the 2 days and 3 nights we stayed there, I used this map religiously to find our way. It was a good map, with pictorial references of major landmarks and major street names. This coupled with the canal layout made it actually really easy to find our way in the city. And, of course, maps always point north, so using the landmarks from the map, I always knew which direction I was facing in town. If I had one criticism, it's that I wish the map had all of the street names instead of just major ones because we got a little lost only once due to me not being 100% sure where exactly to turn since the map didn't have the street name. However, this map did an excellent job in helping us navigate, which helped us have a truly wonderful experience in this great city.
