    I don't know nuthin about nuthin, buddy..

    Pretty sure our resident International man of mistery and and veteran string puller can advise Murus on where she could go better than most of us

    I've lived within stonesthrow of Amsterdam all of my life, but i actually know relatively little about the place. Don't ask me to tell you how to get somewhere, because I'd get just as lost.. My knowledge of local navigation ends around the limits of Centrum..

    He was wearing acid washing jeans with a jean jacket and a mohawk. He would scream at nothing ever few minutes, and kept following me. Kind of like he had tourettes or something.

    Almost like techno viking.

    Murus: Prague, Warsaw, Vienna(Bern?) or Venice? They're all relatively closeby, unless you're deadset on visiting Northwestern Europe..
    I was in Vienna last weekend. No we will choose between Amsterdam and Coppenhagen.

    We send all our weird types to Amsterdam, gives the tourists something to wonder about and the rest of us some calm.

    Not my style, so no, wasn't me.. There's a lot of loonies walking around Amsterdam, high of their rockers.. Encountered a guy that was hopping around a tram stop a few weeks ago, who almost C-walked into the tram before getting kicked out.

    Certainly more to look at than here in Zaandam.. At some point some genius decided to systematically demolish all elder buildings here.. Zaans Groen comes from somewhere, but these days the Zaanse Schans is about the only place you'll find it. Our new City Hall building is green, hower it also appears to have some sort of tetris pattern on it(make of it what you want)

    I can spend all day walking there. Walk around the outer neighborhoods where its peaceful and quiet, and its very nice. I have never used the public transportation there, yet I have covered some good distance.

    Once the package deal 'see Europe in 10 days' start to show up by the busload it can get a bit crowded at times. So if you want to see some of the sights or musea it's best to do those early. Spend the rest of the day away from the big touristy stuff.

    Derp..I've said it before, Damrak is ground zero for the tourists straight out of CS, looking for Hooters or the *** Museum.
    PROTIP: If you have some money to spend, get into the Bijenkorf, which is basically on the other side of the street, or don't get out of the tram until you're at the Muntplein and go to the Kalverstraat or the Spui, or go west instead of east at Centraal and visit Magna Plaza on the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal.

    Would you believe most of those are imported too, they seem to follow the tourists around Europe.

    Figures. That and the little side streets that connect to it on the west side of the street is the shadiest place in Amsterdam. Worst than dealing with the crackheads that try to sell you cocaine and **** in the RLD.

    If you absolutly have to walk down that street, at least do it on the east side, where there are less people. lol
