A lot of things I could tell, but I'm a little tired and need to sleep ;-) enough to say that first night in Amsterdam, wandering without purpose and not following any guide, guess in what neightborhood I ended in? let me say there were a lot of rainbow flag ;-)
I stayed a few weeks in Amsterdam then went on to Berlin, good thing I did, the Berlin Wall was a-cumin' down. I don't know which was better seeing the 'prostitutes' of Amsterdam or seeing the wall tumbling down. It was November 1989.
