Do you need a place to stay Dec 21--Jan 5? CHEAP

Re: Ta-dah! New people!

Uhm, hi. I actually just moved to Amsterdam from Sweden. Never been here before, so i was kind of surprised by how easy it was for me to feel at home. Now i still get lost all the time, and I can't speak a word of dutch, but I've managed to survive soon two months and am quite happy about that. Rea...

Am I the only one who don't get why they need special stuff? oO

But I guess it's nice for those who actually use it.
Because they are a long persecuted minority that feel better with their own kind.

You disagree that the issues of cannabis are kicked around for purely politcal motives? That surprises me. I am also surprised that you think I would believe that people only vote on cannabis issues, thats a little insulting tbh. Enjoy your flight! I disagree that the issues in NL are the same as e...

Yes I live here and I lived in Austria, France and Luxembourg, although I am American. Shaved heads are fine, in fact its really fashionable in France to have a shaved head. And when the spirit moves me I get my hair super short. Baseball caps are becoming more and more accepted across Europe since ...

Broadly speaking imo the issue of cannabis is exactly the same in the Netherlands as elsewhere in as much as it is kicked around like a political football and the relative truths largely ignored. Obviously, I disagree with you on this. But i have to catch a flight to Berlin. And I will be voting in...

I didnt say dutch parents, i just said parents. (we are in international and miscellaneous) The issue is the same worldwide i.e. Politicians want problems such as organised crime and drug problems to campaign and legislate against. The minutiae may vary but the principals are the same. I was agreei...

I agree with you, however, remember its not legal to sell cannabis here. Regardless, they have set up a system that invites organized crime and they get what they asked for . seems to me that organised crime and drug "problems" are more than welcomed by politicians. its something to make ...

One thing I'll never understand is that it is legal to sell marijuana yet at the same time it is illegal to grow in Amsterdam. Where are the coffeeshops suppose to get their weed? It makes absolutely no sense. They should at least issue special licenses to the coffeeshops to grow. I found a video o...

I didn't say I thought it was, I said it was supposed to be and, as it happens, it still is....though apparently losing the tiara. The attacks on gay ppl from a certain minority group you brought up, although not only isolated to the gay community, surely highlights why it's better to have gay tour...
