Amsterdam has a rich history and vibrancy that can be connected to many aspects of the "world history". This beautiful city has more bikes than people, is the most international city in the world (180 nationalities) and a quarter of the city is below sea level. There is so much material, biological and cultural history and I will prove it just by analyzing a small tattoo parlor 20 meters from UvA's campus Oudemanhuispoort campus.
