I know this is not the place to asking about education, but I was looking to apply for a masters course in 3d animation in Amsterdam, and couldn't find any (if anyone knows of a college or uni with such courses please tell me) so instead I found such courses in the Utrecht University which means I might be moving there if I it is the next best decision. I'm obviously not choosing this in terms of university's importance but more rather to do with the location. I live in Lebanon right now, so I'm wondering in general, what life is like in Utrecht compared to life in Amsterdam?

Hey guys! Are there any American backpackers in Amsterdam this week or the next?

I am travelling to Amsterdam this weekend for 3 days. I will land on the Schiphol Airport Friday night and return from Schiphol Airport on Monday night and I will be staying near Amsterdam RAI station for whole of my stay. I am travelling with my 2 year daughter.
I am planning to spend one day in Keukenhof, another day in Zaanse Schans and one day in amsterdam city vising attractions and canal trip.

Please can you suggest the best way to travel to these places from my hotel and also travel from/to airport. Is it any good taking three day pass. Will it be valid on travel to Keukenhof/Zaanse Schans

Also any other suggestions to places to see while in Amsterdam.

All suggestions welcome

Thanks in advance for all your help

I have tried to book a room at the hotel Estherea and the prices are 490 euros for the first 2 nights, 400 euros for the third night and then it goes down to 245 Euros. I don't understand why there is such a huge difference in prices. Another VT friend paid about 200Euros per night last year. I wonder if there is a special event that would justify these prices. Way over my budget anyway :-)
