Never seen them in my life, I was wondering that they could be chocolate, but wasn't too sure.

They sort of remind me of hundreds and thousands.......I hope we know what these are

"De Wallen" is the red light district in Amsterdam. But it isn't famous across the world I think.

Oh I wouldn't say that! Every American I spoke (when I played C&C: Renegade, I spoke a lot with them), almost everyone knew what Amsterdam is famous about!
And it wasn't because of the beautiful city itself...
