Amsterdam Airportdisorienting
endless non-descript modern corridors
scale's worst nightmarea compassion test:
should they speed up moving walkways?from a distance shops labelled only in black and white:
audio, films, cameras, compact discs, flowers, gifts cosmetics, perfumes, sunglasses, holland gifts, fashions, diamonds, portable officepassing through amsterdam entails heavy smuggling checks
you can't bring a mixed boquet back into the US
