1. Very neat, and if you look closely, there are many rabbits

2. Schiphol is quite a place -

the terminal is like a huge high-end shopping mall with airplanes parked outside. Here's another view - took this a few years ago:

5. Got that pic

from the flight deck of the Airbus A330 next in line; I was riding in the jumpseat for my job at the time. Got a bunch of good photos from that location. Amsterdam is a fun city - some of the best pub crawling in the world. Great food, all kinds of beer. It's a fairly small, compact city so you can walk to most of the bars, restaurants and museums.
