Try and keep track of purchases in a little book I have just for that purpose. Pothead from Channels found the perfect notebook for this... the "Moleskine City Notebook". Your local Barnes & Noble bookstore should have this in stock, costs about $16. Comes with transit info and maps i...

I'm arriving on the 28th, ping me if you're free for dinner, or just have some leftovers you want to hand off before you head for Schiphol ;) Hi 4th trip to A/Dam and 1st solo. Staying in appartment near flower market Singel. This trip i aim to take notes which i envisage alot easier on my own as so...

The cheapest way to get cell service while traveling is to buy a local SIM (subscriber identity module), the little chip that goes into a GSM phone and facilitates the phone's connection to the network. Buying a SIM is cheaper than renting or buying a phone, and gives you a local number. This option...

I will be arriving on the 3rd of Nov. Just 2 MORE WEEKS! I can't wait. This will be my second trip to the Dam. Last trip I was able to get familiar with the city so this trip should be a blast. That's pretty much how I feel -- my first visit I was overwhelmed, barely saw a fraction of the city. Now...

A man with a plan.

I'll be arriving back in Amsterdam the afternoon of the 2nd, from a side trip, most likely to Haarlem, where the prices are lower.

For those days, I'm staying way West, but will be taking the tram into Central in the evening on Monday/Tuesday, so anywhere is good.

I recommend Thai Bird.

In case you're planning to visit in March, here's some pictures from the St. Patrick's day before last, to give you an idea what to expect.

Pack a jacket. You'll need it.

Mostly I found little bars with limited dinner menu.

Three "real" restaurants stood out:
In De Waag
Kaiko
Thai Bird

My favorite bar was the little place directly across the street from the Heineken Experience. Anybody know the name? I noticed that most of the places I stoped in served Grolsch instead of Heineken. Every time I've had Grolsch in the states It's been disgusting skunked beer, but it was the most comm...

Abraxas had a good selection of muffins and brownies. side note, but anyone know the name of the argentinian steak house down the street from nes? its not on the same street as nes but the street after it as your comming toward nes's street on the right as if heading from the palace. it seemed to be...

My favorite restaurant from my trip last year was " In De Waag ". this has to be the best restaurant in the RLD, and they stay open late! (closes after midnight!) On Nieuwmarkt, the restaurant itself is built into the old city gatehouse, serves "continental" cuisine along with so...

I've been using Channels since early 2006 when I planned and executed my first trip out to A'dam. Pictures from that trip are published at http://public.fotki.com/Nonesuch773/amsterdam/2006/ Seeing all the ACD users on FBN's Who's In Town , I figured it was time that I checked out the forums over he...

Sounds good, I'm in town and at loose ends that entire week. If anybody is interested in meeting for dinn...
