It is very easy by taking a train from the Schiphol Airport to the Central Station. Just checked out from the custom and walk to the middle of the airport. Look for the train ticket counter and ask for a return ticket to Amsterdam Central, which only cost Euro 8.30.

After getting the ticket, take an escalator down to the train platform. The pretty girl at the counter will inform you of the departure time and platform number. The information is also shown on the ticket and on the platform. However, for a first timer, it is still quite confusing but manageable....
The train arrived on time and here we go...
The train took us about 15 minutes from Schiphol to Amsterdam with stop over a few major stations along the way. You won't miss the Central Station, where lot of people will alight.
Along the way, the sky was so clear and blue. There are many cloud lines formed by planes flying to others cities or to Amsterdam.
Best part of Amsterdam is the tourist friendly environment, a big sign board and a tourist information kiosk opposite the Central Station. You can get almost all the information you need about this city, but with a price of few Euro.
My gang decided to walk around the China Town area to feel the rush and ...... (quiet).
Regardless early morning or late night, business in the Red Light District still as usual.
The wind is strong and the air is cold. We stopped by a cafe at the market square for a cup of hot coffee.
After recharging, we moved on to visit the monument of Bredero and Major Alida Bosshardt.

Back to the Central Station and Amsterdam is waking up with car and people everywhere. However, it is times for us to catch our flight to Linkoping.
