I reverted back to a childlike state and accompanied my friends to the NEMO, which is like a hands-on science and technology place for kids to come and learn. Everything is in Dutch and English. It's 4 floors and each floor has its own set of fun things to do and, of course, to learn.

The most fun that I had was watching their 3D video of what I believe where white blood cells fighting off a virus. The video was all in Dutch, so I am not quite sure if I actually caught everything that was going on. Regardless, it was fun to see a 3D film.

On the third floor they had a whole section dedicated to sex. Mind you, this place is best for ages 12 to 18. In the states this kind of exhibit would not have even crossed the minds of science museum owners. Yet, there it was in pink and red and all its glory for everyone to go and see. I walked through with kids that only came up to my waist and saw the same things they did. They had an interactive Human Body that you could touch and find errogenous zones on, a bunch of little dolls showing different sex positions, a lay out of toys and protection and endless info on orgasm and sexual response. My friends and I are still stunned that this particular exhibit was meant for kids much younger than us.

On the very top of NEMO there is a cafe and a way to access the outside of the building where you can see the city from above. This is the point and time when I realized that I was definately not in the states anymore. No cityscape is really accessible from high up because the buildings are not tall enough. It was still a pretty view, nonetheless. You can get the same view by not going into the Nemo and simply by walking up the outside ramp they provide, as well.
