Total spending in Amsterdam

As usual, a backpacker was most concern on the cost. I divided it into necessary cost and unnecessary cost. Necessary cost mean the money that must be spend. Such as hotel, food, entrance ticket, transportation. Unnecessary cost mean the money spend for buying souvenir and etc.

Transportation from airport to hotel = E4.30

Hotdog for lunch = E2.50

Volendam-Marken half day excursion = E32

Ann Frank house entrance ticket = E8.50

Van Gogh museum entrance ticket = E12

Nadia hotel 2 nights = E105

Manneken pis fries = E2

Dinner = E1.50

Waffle Biscuit 2 packs = E4.50

Sex museum entrance ticket = E3

Hardrock T shirt = E25.45

Boot = E29.95

Lunch at Volendam = E6

Bread for dinner = E1.18

Hot Chocolate = E1.70

Tram ticket = E2.60

Tipping for excursion = E0.50 - never though we need to pay the tips too

Toilet entrance fees =E0.50 - you need to pay for most of the toilet.

Postcard = E1

Total spending = Euro 243.18 (RM1240) = for 2 days and 2 nights

(necessary spending = Euro 186.78, unnecessary spending =Euro 56.40)

Actually we can save more on the hotel, if we get cheaper hotel, then can save another E30 - 40. However i had a very good experience with Nadia hotel so i think is worth to pay for it. No cost for breakfast cause the hotel provide us breakfast)

There is a reason why Amsterdam had so many canal. It is act to control the water level in the city. After the dam had build, Holland successfully claims back a lot of land from the sea. Huh, a war between human and natural. However with the global warming become so serious nowadays, i do not know how long can everything last. What will happen to dutch when the sea reclaims the land. The buildings behind me are classified as dangerous building due to the soft land. We can see very clearly that it is sinking, and it will continues to sink.
