Think about a place where everything runs naturally, just like the wind blowing or the sunlight at every summer morning. (Meanwhile a bloody discussion is disturbing my thoughts). Well, so this is Amsterdam.
In this pic I was standing really close to Van Gogh’s museum, one the most amazing places I’ve been to (maybe it’s because I’m a fan of Van Gogh). At this very time I was eating a Cadbury chocolate bar.
But there’s something about Amsterdam most people might not notice: the relation between hunger and feeding can easily be inexistent. Why? Because when you’re starving you need money to buy food, right? Ok, so, most people in the Netherlands have enough money to buy their things. What else do you need when you’re hungry? Places to eat, right? And that’s the point!
Like almost everybody knows, Amsterdam is well known because of thousands of coffee shops spread all over the city. In those places you can buy dozens of kinds of good marihuana, hash, skunk, space cakes and mushrooms (the last ones at the Smart Shops specifically). And if you don’t know, it is completely legal there. You can buy and then you can smoke freely, walking on the streets, happily, with the chance of asking policemen: ‘Hi, sir! Have you got a lighter? I bought this nice joint, but I’m running over matches’. They speak good English there, different of French and Belgian people.
And what happens after an amazing coffee shop experience? Just take a look around, my friend! Amsterdam is crowded of grocery shops, home made sweet pie places, delicatessens, chocolateries and whatever your mind can see, depending on the stuff you’re high from. Summing up, it’s the perfect place for you to try new sweets and delicacies. Even if you’d rather eating salty things, such as their more than 1.300 types of cheese.
Worth it? Try being there to get sure.
