Arrived in Amsterdam, first views

I've just moved to Amsterdam and its been a couple of days here. This is from my first email to my friends back in India. I'm just settling here. Work has just began here; the dev guy who is to train me has been keeping really busy due to upcoming release and some sessions with the traders. From tomorrow, I will be sitting with the integrator who sits on the trading floor. I have been told that IT people avoid going to the trading floor, because the traders are always after the IT guys for bugs and feature requests. Its like Saurabh Chandna trying to avoid coming to 5th floor if something or the other keeps now and then. Maybe the guy was exaggerating; I guess I'll soon find out. Amsterdam is a nice place.

Divorce statistics in Netherlands

Does this finding say anything? Is it realistic? Find the flaw in my math, if any.

You can specify the source and destination in many ways; address, train station, museum, theater, shopping center etc. You tell it the date and time. The time could be time of departure (from the source) or arrival (at your destination). Once the info is given, click geef reisadvies (Give Route Advice). If the info matches its database, it will give the fastest connections. Else it suggests corrections (for typos). Public Transport options include walk, bus, tram, train and ferry. Using the proper options, it can tell you all the stops on your route. It also tells you how much the fare will be (in strippens and train/ferry tickets). The only issue is that the website is all in Dutch. Unless you get familiar with it (and you soon will!), use Google Translate by...
