Amsterdam is a great city. Is alive and bubbly, multicultural, liberal and full of colorful people. But is can also be a very dangerous place if you’re new in town. Here’s a list with things you don’t want to do:
- Eat to much paddo’s on the 7th floor of your hotel and jump out the window – A France girl did and now politicians decided all smartshops (paddo selling places) need to close.
- Have unsafe sex in a gay darkroom – More a thing of the 90-ties but still a serious problem amongst the guy community.
- Quickly cross the road on your bike, right before a tram and get stuck in the tracks. – It happens. People really get killed this way in Amsterdam.
- Go on a boat trip through the canals, get drunk, bang your head agains a bridge while you’re telling this awesome story, fall in the water unconciance and drown. – It happened once.
- Fly to Amsterdam Shiphol airport as a ‘little ball swallower‘ with 80 balls of coke in you’re stomach. Die in the airplane – or in Amsterdam when you’re lucky – when the ‘balls’ pop before you reach the toilet in your crap hotel.
For the rest; Amsterdam is a pretty safe place. Watch out for those bikes now …
