5- BICYCLES - They are everywhere, they are fast, they are silent, and they are looking for blood! Miranda got hit by a bike last time we were here. We currently have a bet going to see who gets hit next.
4- PICKPOCKETS - Every busy street corner has posted warning signs, "watch your belongings!". I have yet to have an encounter with one of these nasties... I think they even have their own union.
3- CARS - If you get hit by one... Its your fault! In fact... If the victim is American, they don't even have to stop!
2- DRUNK OLD FORIGN GUY - Who knows what he is saying. His face looks like a Picasso. He smells of Grolsch beer and pickled herring. I think these guys are unionized too.
1- DOG SHIT - It has already got me once... Yes Amsterdam is the bicycle Capitol of the world, but did you know it is also the dog shit capitol too? I love watching strange people from forign lands step in dog shit. They yell out "shit!" or "shizer!" or "Grolsch!" or what ever "shit" is in their native language. One could see these encounters as minor international incidents of sorts... You know, a Canadian steps in German shepard shit, or Scottsman steps in Irish setter shit. There might be a war looming if an Iranian steps in American Bull Dog shit.
