    When you were there did you ever use the services of a prostitute or smoke or take drugs?

    You could just do those things here and save the cost of the flight?

    When I visited Amsterdam I did neither.
    I stayed in the Hilton, famous for when John Lennon and Yoko Ono had a love in there.
    I also visited the Van Gough Museum to see the original works of Gauguin and Van Gough.
    Not everyone visits Amsterdam for prostitution of drugs.

    When you were there - October 2007
    did you ever use the services of a prostitute - No I'm a woman.. but I was taken aback at how stunning some of the women on show are!
    or smoke or take drugs? - I ate a 'space cake in a cafe'

    Natch. Never got to the red light though because I pulled a normal girl.

    Smoked me brains out. Though my first joint in the greenhouse effect gave me a panic attack. Stuck to hash after that. Which is the posh option.

    Seriously? :confused: are you sure you were in the right place?

    I'm a straight female and 90% of the girls I saw were stunners!

    Went to the dam a few years back. On the train from Brussels myself and my friends met a bloke from Sligo who informed us with great excitement that he was going straight to the red light district to get a black hooker.

    So off he went anyway and later that night we strolled down to the infamous place ourselves to see what the craic was. The vast majority of the girls were absolutely stunning but no sight of any black women.The only place we saw black hookers was a whore house called Fat City. Think Big Mommas House - these women were HUUUGE :eek:

    The following day we went to the Van Gogh museum and ran into yerman from Sligo in the gift shop. He recognised us and loudly declared that he indeed had enjoyed the services of a lovely black woman in the red light district. He was ****in delighted with himself.

    We were nearly thrown out of the place for falling around in hysterics. What a dirty dirty bastard :pac:

    Would love to go before they change the laws re: the coffee shops. I'd like to go the Red Light to have a gander, but doubt I would avail of any of the ladies' services. I'd like to see all the historical schtuff , too though.

    Went there: drank only mineral water, eschewed drugs and shunned the sex industry in order to defy convention.

    I thought it would be nice to have one less cosseted male student cunt with a zany Amsterdam story in the world.

    It is quite a dark and seedy place.. but if you look in the right places you can really have a good time..

    I love Escape http://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=escape%20amsterdam&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CDAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.escape.nl%2F&ei=5sgIT-i2EpCwhAfC_4WHCQ&usg=AFQjCNGQsv-1gCl2ILSk5BKCnnKJfEMnqA

    Possibly the best nightclub I've been to..
