Another Reason for Going to Amsterdam on a Bike. That idea came to my mind quite a long time ago. After visiting Europe and having seen how much bike culture is different in various places I made a reasonable conclusion: that subject definitely deserves to be covered in more detail. In my place especially in its most popular areas, a total mess is within a framework of ordinary. In downtown whatever direction you would choose for taking a ride, you are sure to face a whole row of obstacles. The first thing waiting for you is the absence of a well-developed system as it is. Forget about all of those colorful bike paths you got used to while going across the green fields of the Dutch countryside or in a vibrant downtown of the Northern Sea pearl of Copenhagen.

Leaving The Old Town Pt.1 Yesterday I left my town which I had lived in almost my whole life. Although I thought about moving out a long time ago it was not easy for me to take that decision and I was full of doubt. Whether it worth to change everything? To leave our beautiful, warm and spacious house which my father built for us. To leave home where a lot of things seemed to become a part of me, which many memories were related to and which I couldn't imagine living without. To say goodbye to my family and friends who always supported me, who I shared the moments of joy and sadness with and who I could always lay on. All of that didn't give me to calm down, especially taking into account the fact that my previous attempt to set my life by my own didn't bring a success. After considering all the pluses and minuses I made up my mind to move towards the new.

Second, I began to notice that my town was getting empty. A lot of enterprises stopped their activity. After the closing of our only cinema, there was no place remained to spend time except a couple of bars where you constantly run into the same people. Finally, I got sick and tired of long and freezing winter there with the average temperature of about 30 degrees below zero and lasting for half a year.
