Off to Zaanse Schans to see windmills

Based on my research, found out about this place where they've brought windmills from other Nederlands and plonk them in one area... complete with cheese, clog making... all to satisfy the curiosity of tourists. Many seasoned travellers say that these are all artificial... they're all made up to suck money out of silly tourists. Well... rather than not being able to see them up close, such disneyesque arrangement pun jadi lah...

The place couldn't dicari dalam Azlan's GPRS. So kita main agak hantam saja lah... felt rather guilty jugak when it took us a while to get there, and sesat lagi pulak. But when we got there, semua excited. Faz and family didn't even know about the place... now that they do, they can take their guests there for a dutch experience, albeit *manufactured*.

By the time we sampai it was quite late... the demos and workshops dah nak tutup. Couldn't get into a windmill. But we did get into the clog and cheese workshops :)
