Amsterdam 2007 Photos #9

Category: Amsterdam,Friends,Personal,PicturesChrisM @ 2:55 am

Finally, we have a last shot of Cocos, and a pure pre-roll of something from somewhere. I’m hoping to eventually find my notes from the trip, and I’ll then be able to change vague descriptions like that to something a little more specific.

Shock, horror, something schmokable in the next picture, so….

Just a quick question, is everyone happy with that level of anonymity? Over the two series of Amsterdam photos, I’ve blanked anyone’s face who might want it. I could have caught someone on the streets/parks randomly who didn’t want to posted online, but as its al fresco, if there wasn’t a street girl on one hand, and a 3′ long spliff in the other, I’ve left faces unmasked. If anyone wants their body hidden as well/mask removed, do just ask.

The flat from 2007 was Hotel Amstelzicht’s (see the bottom of their page). It was not part of the same building, and the hotel’s WiFi only went as far as the balcony, at least on my phone’s little WiFi antenna. No affiliate link there or anything, just wanted to save you the bother of googling it.

    I was told during the week that the good people of Amsterdam are making moves to clean up the image of the city by ridding themselves of the sex & drugs trade. Have you come across any news on your net-travels of this?

      The politicians/residents group seem to say this will happen at least once every three or four years. I don’t particularly mind if they push the red light district outside of traditional residential areas, but FFS, can we keep the coffeeshops please, we’ve already lost quite a few in the last 9 years 🙁
      I’ve not come across any news online, as I tend to avoid my favourite schmoking & Amsterdam forums when I’m not able to partake/visit.
