Dream Vacation

My dream vacation would be to go to the Netherlands. I want to stay in Amsterdam and visit the Anne Frank house. I would stay in a hotel with modern amenities like free breakfast, a chauffeur to take you to and from the airport and touristy places, and room service.

Poor Safety

This picture shows poor safety. Knives in a sink is a safety hazard. With a sink full of soapy water you could possibly not see a knife and cut your self really bad.
