Got an awesome money(approx $50) and time saving tip(you won't have to stand in line for 1 to 2 hours!!) for you if you're planing on going into the Coloseum and the Forum?

I'd love to hear it, as long as it wont get me arrested or sent to the back of the line like a naughty boy

Thanks for the warning! Lev has been here 5 years and hasnt heard about the salted licorice
As i mentioned, I went to the Verzetsmusuem which is a museum re the German occupation of Holland in WWII. The stories told and the displays were fascinating, although I felt an overwhelming sadness on seeing a display of farewell letters which had been tossed from trains by Jewish people being shipped to places from which they would never return.

Ok here we go
1: Protestors protesting......something
2: Protestor with funny hair
3: Multi level bicycle parking near Amsterdam central train station. The Dutch are sure big on bicycles and they are deadly I tell ya! I almost got bowled over by one yesterday and I got abused by the dear lady cyclist in dutch much to the amusement of those nearby.
4: Seven canal bridges in a row.
5&6: A couple of random pretty houses I saw.
7: Another view of Scheveningen beach, The Hague.
