the place to party
What a crazy place. I went there this weekend and WOW. I think that everyone in the HMWHC has to get there for one weekend before you die. I highly recommend the Red Light district. Crazy times!!

4 of my friends and I did a month over in Europe about 10 years ago. We cruised into Amsterdam on Friday and crawled to the train to get out on Monday

How about those cafes eh?

we would go to the cafe get a bag
to the store and get a case of returnable heinekens
and go back to the loft that we rented

later it was out for space cakes and Belgian waffles and off to the red light district for some entertainment.

Yeah that place is clearly the city of sin!

I couldn't do the Coffe Shop thing because I'm in the Military but there are tons of other thing to there. There is something for everyone in the red light district live sex shows, sex shops, hash houses, bars, bannana shows, it is crazy.

unfortunately Holland is that way
I am totally against drugs. I ignored that part of it when I went. I was more interesting in the history, art, and tulips. Amsterdam was interesting, I once went on a tour via the canal system and then it went through the port. It was fascinating, and was during the soviet block days. There was a huge USSR ship, is was so dark and dominating. If you get a chance go to Dresdin, which is the birth place of the blue and white china that is so famous.

CMB
I don't know how many bars that I went into. It was a lot. I didn't drink that much because I thought that if they seen a drunk American that I would get rolled. If I had a few more friends with me it would have been a different story. But there has to 40 bars, 200 hookers, and 40 hash bars all in two blocks.

It sounds like you've never experienced Boy's Town in Mexico. It's only across the border instead of across the ocean.

YeeeeHaaaaw!
Oh yeah Baby! I was there for 3 months. Lovely place . . . really lovely. Good art, good bars, good "coffee" houses, good Euro boys, good shopping, good discos, etc. Too bad it isn't summer Kodiak. You can take the train out to the beaches. Good naked people, good bars, good "coffee", good sand, good sun, etc. Have I mentioned the good accent? Yum. Euro boys.
