Google just released Street View for Amsterdam, meaning that you can virtually walk/drive around the city and have full 360˚ panoramas at Google Maps, just like you can in most major U.S. cities.
Back in August I caught these “Streetview Cars” driving around my neighborhood, and I actually posed with my absentee ballot. Alas, they haven’t yet published/uploaded pictures of my street, so I don’t yet know if my voting-from-abroad moment was captured or not.
Regardless, here’s a few links to some panoramas of my everyday experience:
- My school at the Oudezijds Achterburgwal
- View of/from a cafe which I’m sometimes at after classes.
- View of/from a favorite cafe – I was just here the other day (with Susan, who’s visiting)
- My Neighborhood – or as close as I can get to my house at the moment
- Elandsgracht – part of my daily commute to school or to downtown
- AHF – where I used to be at all the time, but haven’t stopped by in a while
- Kinkerstraat – always on this street, “Gary’s Deli” is also where Hiske and I spend time studying.
Maybe I’ll find some more later
