My mom’s sister is leaving for Netherlands, specifically in its largest city, Amsterdam – for good. She was able to marry a very polite Dutch whom she met while she was working in a luxury ship some years ago. My mom and the rest of my uncles and aunties will surely miss her. Last week, during her “despedida party”, we all sent our warm regards and gave her our hugs and kisses. Although excited, she was very sad to leave her family behind. My mom assured her though that she will come to visit her soon. I have read so many good things about Amsterdam so I am sure my mom and her sisters who will come to visit will have a grand time in this city that has a rich architectural history. I was even surprised to find out that Amsterdam is the 5th busiest tourist destination in Europe with more than 4.2 million international visitors. The number of visitors has been growing rapidly and steadily over the past decade maybe because of the great beauty the city has to offer. There are said to be a lot great hotels too that are located in the city’s center. Some Amsterdam Hotels are even said to offer special arrangements or activities due to the theme Amsterdam has every year for its tourists. This is to bring in as much tourists as they can according to Wikipedia. Now, knowing all these makes me want to visit this city too. I hope in the near future I can.
