Living on the canals

Living on the canals

[March, 2011] We went through the canals in Amsterdam by a tour boat.

The total length of the canals is 150km apparently.

We saw the houseboats closely.

Some had small gardens and made me wonder why they chose to live on the canals.

The number of the houseboats are limited and it seems that to live in a houseboat is a kind of prestige.
