Another aspect which I have observed in Amsterdam is that their is more diversity individual here compared to all the other countries we visit. European culture seem to accept and adjust to new things in Amsterdam compared every other counties we've visited. I think it's cool that there is a variety of different ethnicity since Europe can be interpret as an all White-European population. Not only dies having many ethnic groups help europenas with diversity; but also expose our UW-Platteville student to diversity since our university is pre-dominant white culture and lacks a lot of diversity/ ethnicity awareness.

I've observed and been exposed to so many different aspect of the European culture. The language here seem as if they are bilingual in Dutch first then English a well. As Americans our first language is English, but majority of schoolare requiring students to learn Spanish as well. Another cultural advantage is their food selection they have a variety of options- healthy and non-healthy options; however europenas are not all being identified as obese and over weight like Americans known for. They walk to majority of places or even bike. Which keeps then from a gaining so much weight.

I agree. I find Amsterdam to be the pinnacle of our trip in terms if diversity. Albeit, I think that the reason for the diversity in Amsterdam is because of the opportunities that are granted here for immigrants. Prague has a large number of impoverished people and a developing economy rather than developed; therefore does not create many opportunities.
