Tomorrow! I have some questions:
- Where are the music stores that are worth a visit?
- Which museums should I see?
- Where can I find coffeeshops?
- Do you know some fabric-shops? (I don't really expect an answer to this one, but if you know, pleeease tell me :-)

Heh.. It's only two hours by train, but 've never been there, tho.
The coffeeshops are the last of what I worry about. (unless I find a lot of money today)
and..What has Jacques Brel to do with Amsterdam?

go to the Utrechtsestraat (tram 4).
2 record stores there, Concerto and Get Records.
Concerto has a lot but Get Records has it all - mostly cd's though, but if they can stock it, they will. all of Planet Mu, Warp, Schematic, you name it, it's there.

Where can I find coffeeshops?
don't worry. if you're anywhere near downtown you won't have any problem at all.

so the coffeeshops are all over the place? okay.. Well, I thought they were all located in one neighbourhood, like I saw in Maastricht.

granted i've only been once, but it seemed like they were all the fuck over the place.
my favorite place we went was the 'grasshopper'.

to be honest, i wasn't overly impressed.
i wish we would've stayed long enough to explore outside of the downtown area. but alas, we just stumbled in and out of bars & coffeeshops, and went to the redlight district to see what all the hype was about.
it actually seemed kinda dirty, and touristy. not exactly how i expected it. but, if smoking pot without fear of john q. law is what you're looking for, i guess it's a good place to go. and definately a good story to tell.
the architecture was pretty nice. but, i've seen prettier places, and smoked better pot than i got there too.

Pity I can't do that. We're going only one day, especially to see an exhibition.
I'll sure have a good time, cos my personal Godess is coming with me. =o)
Thanks for the suggestions! I definitely want to see that boat!

cool, I was in Amsterdam a couple weeks ago... as far as museums, I guess the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museums are the two big ones... especially if you like art... I didn't get to see a whole lot, but I plan on going back there for a day to see the red light district, and some of the more seedy areas, like the sex and torture museums, and the porno supermarket! :)

ok, just a few doors down from the main Grasshopper is a coffeshop called the Speakeasy, cheapest weed in amsterdam.
also, the Hill Street Blues is a nice little bar/coffeshop.
also the 4:20/Zappa bar/coffeshop for nice hash, dont buy weed though, just hash.
just a few stops on the tram from the center you will find alot more cheaper and freindlier coffeshops, most in the center want you in and out in 10 minutes, no chance of spending a bit of time.
also if you need any other goodies, let me know and i can get whatever you need.
