Good afternoon this is M 28 of January it’s about almost 4:00 and this is going to be the last live stream from January 2024 Beautiful Sunday afternoon here a bit chilly weather uh the temperature is about 9 CS I think at the moment about the feeling is 6 Cel so it’s a great
Day for January it’s a perfect day here about the weather I mean the temperature good today we are going to walk through the oldest part of the city oldest and some considers that might be the dirty
Dirty part of the city but we will not go into the dangerous areas only we will take a look around I mean after the street this is D Rock behind of those buildings there is another streets called uh
N d n d is also probably one of the oldest streets of Amsterdam another one is here varos rad we will go to this part and this is the Bing Corp the department store pretty luxury items it’s a
Popular place and it’s the car park C Park there’s a paer cafe next to that building it’s part of bov Also let’s start our Lo door I will check your chat messages a bit later I will see who is online

Support our new drink provider maybe at the end of the video we can get a drink together I don’t know today we are again in Amsterdam because I woke up a bit late probably most of you know I was
In an International soua Festival of Amsterdam and I was there until 6:00 I slept around 7:00 and woke up again around 1:00 this is warmest R so that’s why I couldn’t go further other than Amsterdam and other city next weekend we will be somewhere else Saturday or Sunday we will be in
Another city or town this is Warr and probably the second oldest street of Amsterdam and on this way there’s a half circle it’s called zik it’s another Street between W and zik that two streets that area is considered uh the oldest part of the state is called D and also since
The 15 Century there is a woman Community uh work in that area for the for providing some services to the sailors in the past nowadays for for mostly tourists that’s the most polite way that I can describe this uh hard workers we’re going to go into this area like a few years ago
Until a few years ago that woman Community partly they were working in that area also not any longer because this area is changed slowly the Amsterdam municipality closed already more than 100 of that windows that uh Woman’s Work and this part of the city is uh clean now about that kind of
Traits so nowadays normally until a few years ago if you were walking around this area this street for example there were Windows both left and right side also on the left side and this corner there was also window there so in that window behind of the windows you you will see
Some womans uh touching the glass and call the customers but see there’s a Boutique here now jean shop like here it’s still under renovation this was one of that Windows actually and here you can see the old church
Tower normally this spot was the main area of the Red Zone the woman Community Center let’s say and this window model were in place since 1930s nowadays they’re empty they’re empty since the pandemic times during that time they couldn’t work and after that after that they
Were renovated I think amam municipality bought those windows and rented to some entreprene CRS like like you see here Cream Vintage fashion another Fashion Store some items and still under renovation by the way still there are many things are refurbishing
In this area and new stores are opened every time I walk around here I see another Stu we’re going to go back and take a look to the old church area also there are some other changes in that corner as well let me show you here
First we have a wacon cleaner here free to use beautiful day as I said look at that the canal after Brook wall canal oh forgot to check the chat let me see Terina is here uh danuta from Poland Nigel dson hello Tibor Hungary Martin deong

A lot talk a lot and finally I finished I think from Australia talk lot all right let’s start this is the first coffee shop of Amsterdam but it was it had a different name since 1978 I think as I see 19875 sorry the Bulldog Cafe is here it’s a popular place and
In the background you see the old church from the 13th century so this area that side other street is full with Windows the red Windows the woman Community the polite way I say that those damn B guys a good tort anyway we’re going to get back to the other side
The corner and then we will come back just a second let me show you those are beautiful by the way the design the CFT interesting look at that there are some fantastic figures here oh my God some of them are a bit dirty and exactly sorry to show
That supp for 30 years the Bulldog is here this is the most popular one maybe not the best one I think about like it’s McDonald’s of coffee shop coffee shop business lost so this area was the main District where Sailors were
Coming to the city because be before building North can North Sea canal and the Central Station this area was the port of Amsterdam since the 14th 15th century so you know like any any other country in the world whever Sailors arrive there is a woman Community who provides services to
Sailors so at least since the 15th century there was a woman Community working around this area underground or overround those are the new stores also so new entrepreneurs and the coffee lunchroom it was not there before this this small Street Narrow Street on the left for example this is
The Narrow Street of this District we’re going to walk through and that side the that lapon business is still there as I see but uh the windows are not any longer here also the same once upon a time it was really crowded here when you walk through here it it it wasn’t
Easy because it’s narrow and the both sides there were Windows not anymore I you see you can see still the red curtain here and there’s a workshop Place photo shoots tours Etc so all were closed especially this part of the the street it’s quite
Narrow only two normal siiz person can walk through together here The graft this it’s empty you can walk through it if you want they were they were looking inside but they couldn’t decide whether they are allowed to enter or not so I have them so we are back to the same Canal
Area carela cha from Italy our friend and what if you encounter another person yeah you had to wait in the wider area then sear welcome our Turkish friend is here David hello David will chess let’s continue a little bit more more walk around this old church
Area this old church is from the 13th century this is the oldest surviving building in the city and in the 13th century when it was built the first time it was a small wooden Chapel then it expanded it became this gorgeous great Dutch goic
Church some not some a lot of important person in the Netherlands history they were buried here one of them probably the most important one is the first wife of rembrand uh saskia rbr’s first wife she was buried here and also one in interesting thing that I read
Recently the only black person buried here there’s only one black person who was buried here he was son of an important person a mayor probably and I’m in that times so far but still they are revealing some new things about that a few years ago for example they founded document
Hidden somewhere an important document from centuries ago on the top of the sailing area in a hidden box they found something but so still they are searching uh archaeologist and and other related persons they are still looking for the new things I mean new hidden
Things anyways that side this side is Central Station area and that part is currently where you can find the woman Community workers hard workers are there also the other side of church that side there are still some windows here you can see a little sculpture showing the that you are in the red
Zone and the old church is open to public you can visit by a small Museum fee sometimes there are special exhibitions as well you can also take a guide tour there is a little beautiful Cafe here at the Cor corner of the old church
Here their apple tart is also good by the way the coffe hanry I’m going to show you the name in Good weathers like this usually it’s busy this is the name but still as you see there’s a free table over there so
There’s a little garden and also you can sit in insides next to the old church around the oldest profession workers you can get your coffee with apple tart traveler AI Houston Texas hello Toman good [Music] morning whiches are you going for another concert this
Summer the previous time you were here for Rin I think roning [Music] right and you can come by bike here as you see there’s a still there bike parking spots you can Ranch your bike you can

Soon here you can see some part of the radi area that Side get that’s other part where we are coming from the Bulldog is there now and we check out that look at how not straight that building it’s written I think previously it was an assurance I think insurance company maybe I’m not sure some some company building in the
Past uh who else is is Caesar is here welcome Caesar and C Kevin from Boston good to see you all thank you so much that’s one of the new businesses of this area it’s uh maybe last year or this year it’s open
But there are some tables that you seen by the canal so in the nice weathers you can by so the area is changing slowly especially this part normally if you were here like 5 years ago there were all like more than 60 Windows probably in that small streets not anymore maybe one
Or two left but all others they were transformed into stores or coffee places restaurant like that one for example it’s like a famili shops I think so Aman municipality the city management support to clean up this area removing them slowly also the other part the main part where you can find
The famous theater and many other things there’s a plan to move that area to south of Amsterdam so there is a designated complex uh where woman workers will be there in the future that that’s the plan and the mayor current amam mayor approved and offered that plan I
Think it’s still under review but probably it’s going to be real soon in a few years maybe that that whole area the woman I think they will be moving to the South the Reon they think because the people live in this area uh according to the Articles I read Al
According to the municipality they’re not happy to live in this area with that kind of uh workers or Nuance a lot of tourists day and night walking around that streets just because of that red atmosphere so people people actually live there even in the window area the main

Probably this is the oldest street of Amsterdam even like and other side of D there is warmer R it’s the second oldest one probably but nowadays the street despite this the all the F probably when you walk through the street you see only the stores like Primark uh New Yorker and CA
All all other popular brands You Don’t See Much history around that I mean there’s not like a national monument and the buildings are national monuments most of them but you can’t see a statue or something like that so far maybe in the future there will be something special uh
Is going to build in this area at the beginning of the street or end I don’t know the streets starts from the Central Station side and goes towards the the Royal Palace Tom Square so if you start from the center Station follow this street you will arrive to d square and it’s
Going to take a lot because you will probably take a look to all the stores around in the side streets there are also some coffee shops or bars or cheese stores that you can taste cheese do cheese Primark is right side there’s casinos also on the
Street if you’re hungry you can get into one of those cheese stores and you can get some cheese pieces for tasting purposes tasting purposes Prime gar Williams good evening from Cape Town wow how nice we have watchers also from South Africa how about the magnet prices one for €2 three of them5 there’s not a significant change about magnet prices for the refrigerator and two Li one bag for 450 two bags 8 F the balls with different
Colors that’s the corner where we began to Des video to this video and the casino is [Music] here another cheese store so if you start visiting cheese shops yeah from the beginning of the center station at this street Dak and if you visit all the chip stores around this area
You can get full without paying anything all have tasting plates just Pro tip just kidding Hotel D Rock in it’s a very Central located hotel and downstairs is price Shop store perfect location and you see another CH as you See I’m slow slowly walking towards to another place that I can get another energy but that will be the last one so soon I will find a place and we will get our drink together but uh we still have like 10 15 minutes I guess before that moment good lights for us restaurant
Okay I think the sunset time is around 5:00 nowadays I’m not sure it should be always I see Turkish people when I walk through this area that that photo shooting spot this the perfect and best place for Turkish people Bo cruises are getting busier in this type of weather
This temperature it’s not a cold weather today especially for the people living here the price is €13 for one hour Canal tour with the guided audio guide but uh usually at the end of the tour as a good gas chair you give some
Tip for the captain because he also gives information during the b t and it’s like a tradition you know it’s good to give some tips at the end usually there’s a tip box so think about it like it it’s cost like 15 then 14 or 15
Station this one is 75 minutes cruise and it’s a not covered one it’s for the summer or spring to all our watchers from Los Angeles we have a special restaurant for you here when you visit ham don’t miss this one La Burgers so you will not be missing your hometown
Yeah toing is not not normal I mean not mandatory but usually everywhere you see tipping box tip box in Amsterdam in every store there’s a tip box maybe in more local areas it’s more strange it’s not mandatory but when
You give a tip then stuff is going to be happy and maybe you will get some better Services I’m not sure Amsterdam service quality is the best in the world maybe not second best maybe not third best I don’t want to talk about
That but when you give a tip you have better chance to get a better service especially if it’s a place you you visit regularly another scanic view we could catch some good views today again I’m happy to be here on this time of the day uh
