I spent my 23rd birthday in Amsterdam.

I stayed at this hostel called "Hotel Inner Amsterdam". Nice place. Friendly roommates. One has to get off at the station st Paulus Potterstraat (Van Gogh museum on one side, a liquor musuem on the other, both very interesting- I went to Van Gogh after visiting the liquor musuem; I decided its better that way). From Paulus, one walks down Willienparksweg, takes a left, then a right, then left again to Waaningstraat.

As soon as I dumped my stuff at the hostel, I went to the famous Vondelpark. It was green and lively, full of people. There was a stage set up in one end of the park for a concert that evening.

I saw almost the entire city on foot; atleast the old city. The Warmoesstraat is the oldest street in the city, and full of sex stores and coffeeshops;there was, however a very old church at the end of the street.

I think this is an awesome movie and here's why:

1) Its touching. Its about a boy who wants to find God. Just to ask Him about his Grandpa. That's a real tearjerker.

2) The actor Joseph Cross is one sweet kid!

3) Imagine my surprise when I saw in the credits that M.Night Shyamalan had made this movie! Well, if you can't imagine it, I'll tell you that I was very pleasantly surprised. And yes, that adds to the awesomeness of the movie.
