I was there over 25 years ago(give you an idea how old I am) when Ireland were drawn against the Dutch in a World Cup or Euro qualifiers. I was down in the Red Light district with a few mates when we got chattin with a few American sailors. After a while they suggested trying to negotiate a group rate for a sexy blonde that was sitting in the window across the road from where we drinking.
I know these ladies go through quite a few blokes every day but the idea of being in a queue of 10, one after the other, didn't thrill me at all.
This is why I like Amsterdam. There is a bit of everything for everybody. Usually when I say that I like Amsterdam people look at me as if waiting for me to say that enjoy smoking or something like that,nothing against it but it is not my thing at all.
I enjoyed the Van Gogh and Rembrandt museum, The Anne Frank's House and most of all the Dutch attitude towards tourists.
