That is sad though that the tulips time has ended before you arrived in Amsterdan. I suppose the tulips are one of the most sought for sight in AMsterdam.

Tulips are imported also here when Valentine comes. It is so expensive. But for those rich lovers, they don’t mind as long as their sweetheart can also receive even just 3 tulips flowers. I think a bouquet would really cost a lot, that an ordinary and practical person like me would just choose to spend the big money to a very nice dinner, complete with a band.

I have never actually seen a tulip flower. Only on pictures. My daughter always receive 3 tulips on Valentine’s day. During our time, we don’t have tulips yet.

It really can dampen one’s spirit if what you dreamed of is not what happened.

The photo that accompany your article is so beautiful and breathtaking!

You are also right that this should not ruin that European Trip you took due to the ineptness of the travel agent who arranged your tour.

I had the chance to ‘visit’ Amsterdam, to change flight in going to England, but only in Schiphol Airport, around July of 1991, and they were selling Tulip bulbs in their souvenir shops there.

Thank you for the very informative topic about tulips.

I also wish that we can grow Tulips in our country, the Philippines.

Wow, they look beautiful.

it really spiritual thing to look at this breathhtaking photo, i like green trees but also flowers and roses are awesome thing to look at, topic is really good and shops here also full of good breathtaking flower, i like to grow this things in backyards but tulip is hard to take care of and wish to do learn it one day though, i like now jasmine its not easy to take care of it but its easier compare it to tulips, and beautiful and has good smell that reach in house too

life has all features we have to take the good one leaving the bad ones. I have been living and leading a life like this. Had I given importance to bad things, my life would have been different without any happiness

So cope with the best leave the rest

If one has an internet he can be entertained by the many sites he gets to join like this and myLot.

You can share your loneliness and the friends you made can advise and comfort you.

You can download games on your tablet and play with them like what you play the virtual poker.

Actually, I have lots of things to do in the net but I have no enough time though to do them all because I have my full time job to attend to first.

So nowadays, to be lonely and to be happy is just in your fingers or through the net.

The importance of human being is on the wane as there is enough an more to keep onself usefully occoupied and in fact one is better of sometimes without them.

Glad you had the opportunity to visit our nation’s capital. 🙂

I must agree with you on this one. Of all the states visited in my years of travelling, DC was one of my best. I had the opportunity to be a real tourist by visiting the

I must agree with you on this one. Of all states visited in my years of travelling, DC was one of my best. I had the opportunity to be a real tourist by visiting the White House, Capitol Hill, Monuments etc. We also visited George Town where we went on a boat cruise for my sisters 40th. To be honest with you, I enjoyed DC, they had too many attractions for visitors, from the zoo, to the museums, we also saw the J. Edgar’s FBI building. Dc was an exceptional trip for me, it was not just about shopping alone, which is what I usually do. Thank God my sis insisted on visiting the tourist attractions.

Luckily, in our clan, most of the children although have grown up are still so close to one another. They may not be with each other always, but when they do, they share stories and laugh non-stop.

Though, there is one family amongst our clan who are divided because the eldest, a son is so greedy. He wants more as his inheritance from the dead mother’s properties. Same with that from his father.

In fact, he is the only opposing one amongst the clan in peacefully agreeing for the share computed for a big resort that the clan owns and will be selling.

But still I am praying that he will mellow and be agreable with the division per family because it was anyway divided equally.

It is somehow useful for people who need money immediately but cannot wait for the payday. I hope the lender will not charge a very high interest.
