Shopping in Amsterdam De 9 Straatjes

Rosewing — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:17:09 +0000

What the average tourist knows of Amsterdam sightseeing? Certainly the canals, the Red Light District, the Van Gogh Museum, Dam Square, Anne Frank’s house … all or almost unmissable destination for anyone visiting the city. But if you wanted to spend some time as futile as the relaxing art of shopping?

In this case necessary destination is a sort of quadrilateral composed of nine shopping streets, called De 9 Straatjes in Dutch, where you focus a nice little shops ranging from boutiques to modern clothing, jewelry and souvenirs through more or less sought after. As we see with Google Maps the location is in the central, which never hurts and that makes this destination also attractive to those seeking a little “different” between a monument to another.

On this site, done really well in my opinion, find the complete list of businesses in a practical map that can help you if you are looking for something specific. Otherwise, the call is simply to walk aimlessly through the narrow streets, an experience that will prove without doubt enjoyable.

Carnival in Brazil

Not everyone can enjoy a few pleasant weeks at the most famous holiday carnival in Brazil, wagon, samba, costumes and fireworks. We would tell you some histories of famous Carnival in Brazil from the nineteenth century, with the first masked balls since 1840 and the beginning of the big companies in 1855. The contribution of black and mestizo population, especially after the abolition of slavery, was decisive for the carnaval carioca leading to the creation of Blocos, or people who are the groups which made up the parade. Before the introduction of masked balls, entertainment consisted mainly in the launch of lemon flavor (in the case of girls) and any type of liquid or flour (street). After Independence arrived in Rio de Janeiro, the masked balls on the Parisian model. The great success of these dances led to the introduction of other forms of entertainment, such as walks or promenades in the manner of the Roman carnival was almost extinct.

As for Salvador da Bahia, its Carnival is famous for the great popular participation and the Trio Eletrico. A tradition started in 1950 by two musicians who had the idea to renovate an old Ford in 1929, abandoned in a garage and get out on the streets, giving birth to a concert touring sound directly from the machine on which they had installed a sound system . The show was followed by the crowd in the streets of the city center and since then the tradition is repeated in every edition of the Carnival of Salvador, which every year for seven days, welcomes tourists from around the world.

Carioca: is a Portuguese adjective or demonym word that refers to the metropolitan area of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The original word “Kara’i oca” comes from the indigenous Amerindian language of the Tupi people, meaning “White Man’s House”.

Blocos: are the street bands and groups that are the main popular expression in Rio de Janeiro Carnival in Brazil. These demonstrations are mixed under the term “street carnival”, a term that still includes the bandstands and parades at Rio Branco Avenue, and happen during a period of about one month (beginning before and finishing after Carnival).

Salvador da Bahia: is a city on the northeast coast of Brazil and the capital of the Northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia. Salvador is also known as Brazil’s capital of happiness due to its easygoing population and countless popular outdoor parties, including its street carnival.

Trio Eletrico: is a kind of truck equipped with a high power sound system and a music group on top of it, playing for the crowd. It was created in Bahia specifically for Carnival and it is now used in similar events in other districts and countries.
