Phespirit goes to the Netherlands
Amsterdam     February 2001

DAM INCONVENIENT

Dam Square - the living heart of the city, the hustling hub of Amsterdam .....

..... and, at the beginning of 2001, the biggest bloody building site in Holland.

Koninklijk Paleis peers from behind the Mega Mix silos.

LOOKATIT

What is this all about?

Look for it embedded amongst the cobbles by the Oude Kerk (Old Church) in the heart of the Red Light District.

F.G.S. HE HWA TEMPLE

Fo Guang Shan "He Hwa" Temple, opened on the 15th September 2000, is said to be the first Buddhist temple in Europe.

Built on the Zeedijk, it has transformed this street once infamous for drug-dealing and violent crime into a new road to Nirvana.
