Edam - A charming little Dutch town


Nothing to worry about the Dow and the other world bourses in the short-term, a slow moving major wave (V) but no danger.

Back to Holland - A small town call Edam

Edam, the name originates from a Dam on a little river E or Ije. 15 minutes drive to the north of Amsterdam. Those who loves cheese, especially Edam Cheese, must visit Edam to have free samples of various types of cheese from the cheese house.

In the 18th Century, Edam was a busy little port with more than 30 shipyards, but now it is a small quite town for tourists to see its lovely houses, canals, fields, windmills and to taste cheese.
