A cold, wet and boastful city where
self proclaimed artists sip on overpriced coffee with their equally
arrogant counterparts. The idea of “going green” is not so much
to help the earth but for an ego boost. Tourists flock from around
the world to smoke marijuana and waste their days away in dark and
dingy cafes and then to use other elicit drugs to give them the
unhealthy energy boost to dance the nights away.
If you can remove your attention from the shallow individuals within the buildings and rather focus on the city itself, it does have small city charm. The man made canals radiate out from the city center and are lined with colorful and historic buildings including the infamous Anne Frank house. Tour boats cruise the waterways and church steeples overtake the sky. Amsterdam is whatever you want it to be!
