Here We Are Again









Another week, another place. This time it's Amsterdam for a few days attending an important conference of regional economics at the prestigious Tinbergen Institute. I have a couple of days set aside to explore this city for about the fifth or sixth time, and it's a lovely place to wander, or cycle, around when the weather is nice as it is at the moment.

In fact, I'm just about to head out, so this message won't take long to post. The one problem with Amsterdam is that the street pattern is so irregular and interspersed with canals that it is easy to get lost. I did last Sunday trying to find my hotel and then yesterday morning attempting to jog to Vondelpark. Before I get lost again, have a look at the attatched pictures, which give you a flavour of the place.
