Utrecht, The Netherlands
Utrecht — another city in the Netherlands, just about an hour south of Amsterdam.
The city wasn’t really on our list of top places to visit. However, the opportunity presented itself, so why not?
We had a couple of hours to spare, and instead of staying at the hotel all day, we decided to explore another city we’d never been to — and try to eat as much herring as possible! 😛
From Amsterdam, we took a train heading south to Utrecht. The timing was perfect because it happened to be the same day as the city’s open market. And of course, that meant food! There was only one thing I was looking for: herring. Yessir! I got herring — both plain and on a sandwich. Paired with pickled onions and cucumber? Satisfaction guaranteed!
After that, we did our usual touristy things: walking around without a clear direction, looking in every direction, waving the ever-annoying camera, and moving on. We didn’t really do much after our aimless stroll, and since it was around lunchtime, we went on the usual quest — finding the best local food in town: Vietnamese Pho. Yes, you can take the man out of Asia, but you can never take the Asian out of the man.
After lunch, we headed back to the hotel because, at this age, naps are already part of the routine. Accept it or not — it will come. 😀
Oh, and the main reason we were in the Netherlands? To watch a concert by “worldwide handsome” Jin. Do you know BTS ?
