we get a lot of tourists in Amsterdam, but most of them dont know how to behave, so now, i am starting a semi-serious thread, tip 1: bikes are for transport, not for stunting, please refrain from doing wheeleys in the middle of trafic tip 2: The drug use in the Netherlands is lower then that in most european countries, so do not automatically assume all dutch people do drugs tip 3: Yes, we know we are going to hell, dont rub it in tip 4: Most dutch people speak english and either some french, spanish or german. Please don't try to speak dutch since you really really suck at it tip 5: The most popular tourist area's are also very popular with the Amsterdam population, we have no area's in the city that are mainly used by tourists tip 6: the people wearing cloths from manga characters arent street performers but japanese tourists i might update later
Well seen jiffie ! Twice time the last month I cought tourists in Brussels in my taxi (once they were from New York, and one week later I took other people from Russia, young people). I asked them the same question : "what will you do in Amsterdam ?" And before answering they both hesitated and answered "We're going to see flowers and tulips". Yes, they both answered that ! Two young men from Russia, going to Amsterdam just to look at tulips, and spending money to rent a room in Brussels before taking the train to Amsterdam the next day, and they come to see tulips ? mm mmm nah ! It was for drugs of course. I suppose. There were nothing interesting at that moment, no soccer (voetbal) match too.
Rofl @ 3, only Geert Wilders You might want to add that those stupid politicians decided to ban mushrooms forever now. And then they are shocked that the amount of tourists decreased. They are now doing research on what might have caused it. Fools...
tip 7: get here quickly since our dumb major is trying to shut down the redlight district and softdrug legislation he also closed down our most popular musea for repairs and his plan actually was to increase tourism
The level of intelligence this guy shows scares the crap out of me. The people who actually chose him as a mayor even more...
if i remember correctly, the PVDA choose this guy as mayor, and then the CDA got a mayor in utrect and in Rotterdam
Well, Rotterdam hosts the start of the next Tour of France. Amsterdam gets the start of the Tour of Italy. -not really into that, just heard it on the radio-
Me too. Today in this morning. Very strange they go so far to start those Tours. But good towns they chose too
A tour where every contestant is tested for drugs. It starts in the 2 cities with the most places to get those drugs. You call it a good choice... rolfmao
