:D I've been reading this forum for about a month now, and I can finally ask a few questions. I'm going to amsterdam for the first time on the 8/11 to the 11/11 and, thanks to the threads on here I already feel pretty clued up about the coffeeshops. I did want to ask though, if there was one place in amsterdam you would recommend, completely unrelated to weed, what/where would it be?
Also, where's good to eat?

peace.

Boerjongens and or Bij, they are sister shops, around the corner from each other.
Can not smoke inside either place, just for purchases.

Plus one of the best selections in town, not even going to mention how great there prices are because on your first trip that should not even really matter.

If you can handle the emotion of the place I honestly think anyone thats interested in Amsterdam should visit the Anne Frank house.

If you know anything about her, I was very high and know nothing of Anne Frank other than her being someone who hid during WW2 and found it completely and utterly boring.

It's certainly not for everyone but I also think it's not somewhere someone should visit when stoned either.

I knew the story, and saw the house stoned, and I think it made it more emotional for me. It's a real heart-wrenching experience, and I couldn't imagine being sober for it.

I went in there and this trap door opened and I fell into the room below, then they asked me to sign the Anne prank diary 8)
