Going to Amsterdam, again!

The first time I went to Amsterdam, I was 16 years old and I went with my parents. We were visiting friends who lived in the Hague and we travelled all over Europe by car with them. Amsterdam was a cool place and my friend and I discovered a few "coffee shops" that served more than coffee (if you know what I mean). We went to many of the art museums and cultural attractions in Amsterdam then, but we did not get to see some of the more "grown-up attractions."

Amsterdam is a city that leaves you wanting more, so I went back twice since that first trip. The last time I went to Amsterdam I stayed here. I have yet to got to Amsterdam with my lovely bride, but we're looking to go next year sometime sans children.

One of the good things about Amsterdam is its people. There are folks from all over the world there and the natives are very friendly. They are also eager to speak English-unlike some other European countries- so communicating is relatively easy. There are a lot of art museums in Amsterdam worth seeing and its a fun party city.

Amsterdam has a wide variety of places to stay and its not too expensive. Can't wait to go back!
