The Dam is in the centre and heart of Amsterdam,

The Royal Palace which dominates the square,
was originally used as the town hall and its
classical facade and fine sculptures were intended
to glorify the city of Amsterdam and its government.




- Amsterdam's canals :
The number of canals have giving the name of Amsterdam to become known as "The Venice of the North". And actually, a trip to Amsterdam is not complete without a boat cruise. A canal tour can be fascinating and relaxing by day. The four main city center canals are Prinsengracht, Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Singel. There are also lot of smaller canals.

The school.

The name of the school is Over Betuwe College.
The OBC of Bemmel !
It's a very big college in Bemmel with lots of class room, a cafeteria, a big lunch place and a play area.
We can eat our lunch pack in the play area or in the lunch place. It's a moderne college and we like it !
When students hasn't got a lesson they are going to a lunch room and they do what they want ( it's amazing because there is not supervisor)  but the class room are really small .

Out side there is a very very big bicycle park because the majority of pupils go to school with it
