We spent most of our last full day in Amsterdam footing it around the shops and markets, which are, trust me, plentiful. In fact, the Albert Cuyp Market covered so much ground that we eventually gave up on our attempt to explore every corner of it. Must say, though, that we didn't actually buy all that much despite all the looking around. I suppose we enjoy the thought that there's a mountain of stuff available to us if we fancied it without troubling ourselves with the demands of actual ownership.
It's very inconsistent of me to be fundamentally so doubtful regarding the benefits of capitalism whilst enjoying the idea of markets and trade, but consistency about anything has never been much of a strong point for me.
