Holland: The land of beautiful flowers, beautiful (cheap) women, and copious amounts of cheap weed.

Yep, my hunger for Europe always surges as summer approaches.

Europe + warm summer + Eurail pass + camera = heaven!

Luckily for me, I will be spending a total of four weeks on business in Germany this summer and one week vacation on the Greek island of Naxos.

I don't see the big dea. I can smoke cheap weed in the comfort of my own home if I want. I certainly don't need to go to Holland to do so.

It ain't about whether you can/cannot smoke. It is the whole idea that you can go with a friend to a pub have fun and no one will make you a criminal.
And much more...

Yep. I spent about a week there last year.

Heinken Factory
Anne Frank House
Museums
Prostitutes
Castles

Just being in the city is cool. Smoking is neat and everything, but it s different over there since it's legal. Also, the vast majority of them don't smoke. Also, once you overindulge you ll hit a ceiling. I recommend dampkring.

One thing I noted about the beer....Heineken normally has almost a bite at the end of it, almost a slight after taste. If you've drank it before you ll know what I mean. When you purchase it over there, it doesn't have that. It makes drinking it all the more pleasurable.

I do recommend getting baked out of your mind and wandering around the red light district at night at least once and seeing a sex shot. Be careful though, it can be shady.

It is a beautiful city.

The cafes in holland are a tourist thing. The locals don't go there. Just like anywhere else in the world, the locals smoke up at home.

The Dampkring is great, for anyone going there is some unspoken rules for smoking over there. its all joints, really not that may pipes or bongs. also, only smoking in participating coffee shops is accepted. look for a green and white flag on the window. lastly, if you go to a place to smoke, either buy weed there or buy coffee or tea, dont just go in to smoke some stuff you brought in.

and the heineken is great over there...definately do the brewery tour.

the reijks museum is also there, but i think its under construction until 2008. there is a sex museum by the main train station that was decent to go to, and of course go to the van gogh museum if thats your bag.
