Sonidos de la ciudad / City sounds

Traje el walkman y monton de musica para escuchar, pero me di cuenta de que lo que mas me gusta es caminar por la ciudad y escuchar sus sonidos, todos los lugares en los que estuve son mas silenciosos que Buenos Aires.
La gente charlando en las calles, el ruido del tram, los semaforos (que tambien tienen sonido, cuando se ponen en verde emiten una especie de "toc toc toc", supongo que son para los discapacitados visuales), los timbres de las bicicletas, creo que son obligatorios, o al menos todas las bicis los tienen, una noche iba caminado cerca de Damrak y de pronto escucho una voz de varon que gritaba algo asi como: "mmmmmmmbraaaaaaaa, mmmmmmmbraaaaaaaaaaa", era un ciclista que, a falta de timbre, gritaba a los peatones para no atropellarlos con la bici.
El walkman sirvio para que en las noches me acostara y escuchara la radio, como estudio holandes esa era una manera de acostumbrar al oido, no podia creer que estuviera ahi, en la mismisima Holanda, donde transmite la 538!! la radio que escucho por Internet desde Baires. Escuchar mi programa favorito, el de Menno de Boer en "directo, desde el lugar de los hechos" me gusto mucho.
Segun me comentaron, esa radio es la emisora de la MTV local, alli empece a escuchar a dos bandas que me encantan, Maroon5 y Keane, toda la musica que pasan en general es muy buena.

I brought my walkman and tons of music, but I realized that the thing I like is get lost in the city and listen to its sounds, every place I've been is more silent than Buenos Aires.
People chatting on the streets, the sound of the tram, the traffic lights (they have a sound, when they turn into green they sound like "toc, toc, toc", I guess that's for blind people), the bells of the bycicles, I guess they are compulsory, or at least every single bike has one, one night I was walking near Damrak St. and I listen to a guy shouting something like "mmmmmmmbraaaaaaaa, mmmmmmmbraaaaaaaaaaa", he didn't have a bell so he was shouting to warn pedestrians .
The walkman was good at night, I could go to bed and listen to the radio (you know I study Dutch), and that was a good practise, I could not believe that I was there, in Netherlands, were 538 broadcasts!! the radio that I listen via web in Buenos Aires. Listen to my favorite program (Menno de Boer's program), live from "the crime scene" was really good.
I was told that 538 belongs to MTV Holland, in that radio station I started to listen two bands that became my favorite ones: Maroon5 and Keane, and all the music they perform is really good.
