Apparently theres a fair bit of 'culture' too if you don't want sex and drugs. 
I don't remember there being any though.

Does it do anything for you Bex , the thought of going to Amsterdam? I want to take the missus there in the hope it would turn into a filthbag holiday, but reckon she would be unimpressed, find it degrading, or some boring shit like that.

Yeah can't wait.
He doesn't know we are going yet. Just told him not to plan anything between certain dates.
See a filthbag holiday is the whole idea. He'll love it.

Do not stay in the Regal
Me and 3 mates went over in July and I thought it was utter bollocks, a total dive of a place.
One lad wanted to get laid 24/7 but only come with enough money for about 3 x
I would advise you to take plenty spending money, some bars we were paying £5 a bottle.

I can't remember the place I stayed in It was a good mile from the red light district, so it was quiet, but the bus/tram in was free, so it wasn't a problem.
Was cheap too, cost me under £160 for return flights and 3 nights, plus a bit for trains from Schipol to the hotel.
