Yes, the view of the Amsterdam skyline from the roof of Nemo is fantastic. It's free too, no charge for going up there.

Only had shoarma from Ben Cohen, at Rozengracht and Marnixstraat. Open late, too. Supposed to be some of the best in town. +1 on the Ben Cohen recommendation. Has a good reputation as Amsterdam's premier Shoarma takeaway (you can eat in too). I don't know it if worth making your way over there if y...

Do I really need to say it again? When i linked to that story, nobody had been rescued from the wreckage yet. Later a body and the injured were recovered. The story on that page was updated after I linked. Not that hard to understand is it?

Yes, I did ****nuts. At the time, nobody had been recovered from the collapsed stand. News, and web pages, do get updated you know.

The roof of one of the stands at FC Twente's Grolsch Veste stadium has collapsed, trapping construction workers. I've seen a couple of pictures and it looks quite bad. I hope nobody has been killed. :( http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/932723/part-of-fc-twente-stadium-collapses---report?c...

Definitely eat at Pizza Rimini at Lange Leidsedwarsstraat 75. All the pizzas are about €5 so you can sit in a restaurant and have a pizza and drink for under €10. They are very good pizzas too, factor in the low cost and it makes them fantastic pizzas. It's always busy in there and especially popula...

Weekdays are definitely better for a 3-5 day trips. Seats are always free in coffeeshops and restaurants, no tourist hoards on the streets and the biggest plus is that you're on holiday anyways! So, it always feels like the weekend. All my Amsterdam trips start on Sunday or Monday these days unless ...

That coffee smell does it for me too. There's a cafe that I walk past every morning on the way to work that has that fresh coffee and fresh orange juice smell that hits me as i walk past. It instantly makes me think of Amsterdam and coffeeshops. The building that the cafe is in has similar architect...

April through to early May is the peak time for visiting Amsterdam because it's tulip season. Coachloads of, mainly older, tourists from Germany and Britain arrive to visit the tulip fields of Keukenhof. So, winning bids on priceline at this time will reflect that. I had a winning bid of £49 (£55 in...

Anybody underage who thinks they are just going to waltz into a coffeeshop and smoke to their hearts content - no questions asked - is in for an unwanted surprise. Every coffeeshop asks for ID if you look young. If they don't then they won't be open for long. The Dutch government has become very sen...

The Ajax Jewish thing is with a strong sense of irony amongst Ajax fans. It started as a term of abuse from rival fans that, at first, annoyed the Ajax fans but then they turned it around and started to call themselves "Superjews" and waving Israeli flags. This led to Feyenoord fans waving...

I voted for Homegrown Fantasy, Dolphins and Hill Street Blues. Homegrown Fantasy was the first proper coffeeshop that I ever visited and I still have a soft spot for it seventeen years later. I like it best in the afternoon when it's a little oasis of mellowness away from the crowds nearby. The menu...

It's often said that countries in north-west Europe; Britain, Ireland, Belgium and The Netherlands don't have a climate, they have weather. Because we're sandwiched between the North Atlantic, North Sea and the continent it makes predicting the weather difficult. It's usually pretty mild all year ro...

Great. A shooting in a coffeeshop. Negative publicity for coffeeshops at a time when their very existence is under scrutiny.

Are these the ones from Albert Heijn by any chance? http://webwinkel.ah.nl/process?fh_location=%2F%2Fecommerce%2Fnl_NL%2Fcategories%3C%7Becommerce_shoc1%7D%2Fit_show_product_code_1384%3E%7B10%3B20%7D%2Fpr_startdate%3C20110305%2Fpr_enddate%3E20110305%2Fpr_ltc_allowed%3E%7Bbowi%7D%2Fcategories%3C%7Be...
