The canals in Amsterdam that exists today were established in the 17th century. Today the city consists of 90 islands and 1,280 bridges. The canals act as a tourist attraction, transportation site for locals, and home for many. Although long ago living on the canals was the cheapest living place in town nowadays it is the most expensive place in town to live. Three times a week the locks separating the North Sea and the canals are opened to clean out debris.
This relates to my studies because it helped to teach us the history of the city. It showed us how the city was built was is new and what was old and how exactly the new stuff became to be.
