I present the lovely mess left by Ajax fans about 1 ½ weeks ago, outside of the Amsterdam Arena. It was just past noon when I snapped this picture, and already the heavy drinking had begun. The remnants of football followers – beer, beer, and more beer.

I’ve never made it to an Ajax game, and although I don’t mind watching football, I’m slightly terrified of being under the same roof as thousands of drunken fans. Actually, the main result I see from these games is the huge police presence, complete with riot gear and riot-ready trucks, and the mess that is left after these sometimes riots (i.e., smashed windows, trampled shrubs and flowers, more beer cans).

So for now, I’ll stay outside. And snap photos.
