  • Amsterdam is famous all around the word for the coffeshops, but as I think if you want to know more about they you have to visit a specific site, I just give you a short intro.

  • A particular one is Excalibur, in the red light district. It's the only one I found in which you can listen heavy metal and hard rock. The last table in the corner has the 'real' Excalibur inside (in the photo).

  • The Bulldog is the Amsterdam's historical coffee-shop. There are 2 or 3 Bulldog's Coffee in the city centre. I think that one of the most beautiful coffee-shop is 'La canna' with its 3 floors (the largest one, near the Dam).

    Remember that if you go to the coffee-shop you will probably listen disco music and if you go to a rasta-coffee you will listen reggae.

  • Dutch people don't like tourists which go to Amsterdam only for drugs. I agree. Coffee-shops are typical, but Amsterdam is so nice. It's a pity to use all your time only to smoke, don't you think?

    ~ UN GIORNO MIGLIORE ~

    Cosa mi aspetto dal domani
    il sole in faccia avrò
    ma in fondo io ci spero ancora
    che tu ci sia nel mio domani
    e se ti incontrero'
    spero di sfiorare le tue mani
    soli oppure in mezzo a gente io te
    riscaldati dal calore di una 'benson and handge'
    se mi vuoi
    domani sarà un giorno migliore vedrai
    se mi vuoi
    domani sarà un giorno migliore
    se mi vuoi
    domani sarà un giorno migliore vedrai.

    E cosa dire di noi
    forse che in fondo
    non mi importa se tu mi vuoi.
    Cosa mi aspetto dal domani
    bè credo che
    sia giusto dirti
    che non voglio niente senza te.
    E tu sei molto di piu di quello che tu sai
    sei sole e pioggia negli inverni miei
    se mi vuoi
    domani sarà un giorno migliore vedrai
    se mi vuoi
    domani sarà un giorno migliore vedrai.

    Aspetta almeno un minuto (aspetta almeno un minuto)
    non dirmi che non mi vuoi (non dirmi che non mi vuoi)
    devo trovare un appiglio
    prima che tu te ne vai da mee
    ooohh
    apri le tue ali e vola via con meeee…

    Cosa mi aspetto dal domani
    il sole in faccia no
    ma in fondo io ci spero ancora
    che tu ci sia nel mio domani
    e se ti incontrerò
    spero di sfiorare le tue mani.
    Soli oppure in mezzo a gente io te
    riscaldati dal calore di una 'benson and handge'.
    Se mi vuoi
    domani sarà un giorno migliore vedrai
    se mi vuoi
    domani sarà un giorno migliore vedrai

     Lot of good info! PS: mancavo da un po'... Bel restyling della home, ottima l'idea dei concerti. Insieme al jazz, io ho 'scoperto' anche il blues. Ciao.
