Amsterdam is Awesome | Yes, a wooden house actually exits in Amsterdam |
It's interesting that right now in Nevada, there is an initiative being promoted by the Committee to Regulate and Control Marijuana (CRCM) to tightly regulate and control the sale and distribution of marijuana in the state of Nevada. It will appear as question 7 on the Nov. 7th elections and if passed, will make the sale of less than one ounce of marijuana by tax department licensed entities fully legal.
Las Vegas will no doubt soon become a major alternative to Amsterdam.
And for that I am glad.
It will give Amsterdam a chance to prove its reputation beyond just its coffee shops.
The people are superbly nice.
The history is rich with wealth, fires, pestilence, famine.
That it survived World War II largely intact is no small feat.
So if you come to Amsterdam, please keep your eyes open for the many other beautiful things Amsterdam has to offer beyond the coffee shops. |

Poco Loco for my 30th.Service v poor. Staff forgot we ordered. Food arrived after 2 hrs we were not given what we ordered. After informing staff we were not prep to pay full price for shoddy service we were warned Police would be called. A sham! BEWARE! | lovebrazil Wed Nov 14, 2007 19:20 UTC

Glad you had a good time in Amsterdam. I also rented from Holland Rent-a-Bike and was very satisfied. (I'll try the Ostrich Steak the next time I'm there.) | ozalp Sun Jan 14, 2007 08:17 UTC
