Hi Guys,
Ever Dreamt Of Going To Amsterdam ?
well why these are my top 5 reason you should not hold back on that dream.
Amsterdam enjoys one of the lowest costs of living of the European capitals. With its historic city centre, healthy work/life balance, competitive business benefits and cultural diversity, the city has many reasons to boast. With their city ranked at number three in the OECD work/life balance study and regularly coming up high in Mercer’s Quality of Living index, Amsterdammers sure have this one figured out.
Amsterdam is simple to get around in and easy to explore. At a size of only 219 square kilometers and with a propensity towards ‘vertical living’, in Amsterdam ways are short, everything is accessible and new arrivals find it easy to become familiar with the city, feeling at home after a short time. This village-like charm is combined with the cosmopolitan vibe and cultural life of a European capital.
With roughly 2.5 bikes per head in the Netherlands, it’s no surprise that getting around the city by bicycle is everyone’s preferred mode of transport. With dedicated cycle lanes and road rules designed to protect cyclists, cycling is a simple and healthy way to get anywhere in the city and may well be a key ingredient towards enjoying a happier lifestyle. And if bad weather’s making you feel disinclined to jump on the saddle, the public transport system is a fast, reliable and efficient back-up.
And We Cant Forget The Weed And Hoes Ofcourse. Lol
Today just 175 coffeeshops remain in Amsterdam, half the number that existed in the Nineties. Amsterdam has more coffeeshops than any other city in the Netherlands, though Rotterdam, Utrecht and the Hague also have a handful to speak of.
Over the counter and never off street dealers. Most coffeeshops have a weed menu, which gives information, usually in English, about the various strains they have available. Pre-rolled joints are usually available, if you don’t want to roll your own. Alcohol is not permitted in coffeeshops, though patrons can buy soft drinks, hot beverages and snacks.
Red Light District
The "kamers" (Rooms) are the most visible and typical kind of red light district sex work in Amsterdam and are a large tourist attraction. De Wallen, together with the prostitution areas Singelgebied and Ruysdaelkade, form the Rosse Buurt (red light areas) of Amsterdam. Of these De Wallen is the oldest and largest area.
Amsterdam prides itself, and rightly so, on its wholly liberal and tolerant attitude, embracing the fact that people may be into prostitution, soft drugs and pornography. And that it is only human. So instead of criminalizing everything, they enjoy the honesty of it all.
