1. Introduction

Good afternoon,

A practical assignment for geography, not again! Our assignment this time was to do a research on our own environment. Environment in this case could be anything, from a biological research to researching the amount of schools in two different neighbourhoods.

In order to keep ourselves interested in this practical assignment we've decided to compare two main shopping streets. And the two closest and biggest shopping streets were the Grote Houtstraat and the Kalverstraat.

For the girls; if you get bored by the text we (unfortunately) had to write, try looking at the magnificent high heels on the right.
For the guys; try to look through the pink background, font and the high heels. Our subject turned out to be quite interesting!

Have fun, and enjoy our practical assignment,

Sanne and Yona
