I was in Amsterdam for 5 glorious days once. What a fantastic town. In the daylight it is very beautiful with great architecture and these little canals all over the city. By night the freaks come out and it is a combination of Mardi Gras , a Dead show, and the crack house on the corner.



Must Dos:



The Cheech and Chong Tour ( See "Up In Smoke")

Sit in the Red Light District at a cafe, and watch the asian tour groups come down the street as all the men peel off into the hooker closets

The Sex Museum- The front door is a giant vagina. i finally found one that fit. LOL

Eat awesome waffles in the morning.

Beat up the gypsy kids who try to pickpocket you



Things you can skip:



Anne Franks house- BORING!!!!!! $10 to get in, walk around this tiny house with no furniture in it that has brass plaques on the wall saying " THis is the living room, this is where Ann slept" Complete waste of money and time.

Smuggling drugs out of Amsterdam- big No No, the cops have machine guns and very large dogs. I don't recommend you try this and don't ask me how I know.



I had a great time and would love to go back. %v days was plenty because i needed to detox for a month after that 5 days. have a good time.
