"In Amsterdam, Müller explains that one can buy almost anything in the streets, where merchants can sell in front of their own houses. He mentions the chimes one can hear anywhere in the city, religious freedom and the inhabitants' wealth. He then explains that drinking water is rare to come by and explains how people get water. He mentions the Jewish people in the city. He finishes describing the city and explains that it is not possible to go to the East Indies for now. Because staying in Amsterdam in the meanwhile is too expensive, he decides to go to Leiden to find a job. His innkeeper explains that while he is away, he should leave his stuff with him and only bring his best clothes. He advises him to go to Haarlem first."
