Speaking of tulips... in my home town Ottawa, there's a tulip festival every year because after WWII the Netherlands gave us 100,000 tulip bulbs.. so that's what I thought of first when I saw this post

(Thanks for the tulips!

)

YOU DEFINATELY NEED TO GO TO THE ANNE FRANK HOUSE! Like seriously, go right this second! heh ;x But seriously you should definately go to it. It's very touching and just amazing. You actually like go through where they were hiding.
Yeah people here hate the tourists too. They're here all the time which is the bad part(I live in Washington, DC). They buy all the stupid FBI hats and I <3 DC shirts and just block the way on the Metro(subway) and street. It's even worse for me because i live so close to the Capitol. Oh lord it's TERRIBLE during the Cherry Blossom season. Traffic is terrible because of out of towners coming to see them. I use to have soccer practice down on the Mall(the grass sort of 'runway' between the Capitol and the Washington Monument) we use to be SO mean to tourists we use to try and hit them with balls and everything ;x It was fun too. Yeah.. i'm done now ;x
