If anyone feels like exploring cleaner parts, go to Nijmegen (lots of female college students, too). It has all the weed foreigners need, and none of the 50 year old hookers.
Nijmegen : Even for dutch people that's outback ... Give these people some proper advice , you cunt ! Even Drente or Twente is preferable to that 'city of the bored' !

As much as I love crappy weed and overpriced pudgy hookers (and your offer to "slip it in me"), I'm going to have to decline.

I believe there are nicer parts so I tried to disclaim that. As I said I went strictly for my friend and that's what he wanted to see. I'm sure there much better parts of Amsterdam and still better parts of the Netherlands.
Thanks for the tip on the college students - I'm there next time.

As a Dutchman I don't like to go to Amsterdam much myself. But first you said you spent a lot of time in the red light district, then you go complaining it was seedy and filthy.

Amsterdam ís a filthy city, though, compared to lots of other ones in this marvellous little bastard of a country.
And you, my friend, had the misfortune of spending the warmest summer the Netherlands have ever known in an AC-less hotel room. I salute you for it. AC usually isn't necessary because the heat almost never goes way up like this.
If anyone feels like exploring cleaner parts, go to Nijmegen (lots of female college students, too). It has all the weed foreigners need, and none of the 50 year old hookers.

I visited Amesterdam about 2 years ago and the lasting memory is a friend managing to puke, piss and shit himself within the space of 24 hrs. He also lcoked himself in the hotel toilet after a bad case of the fear on mushrooms.
Good times.

I loved Amsterdam, and I didnt even smoke weed. Though I did stand outside a redlight district window making faces at a hooker while I was shitfaced for upwards of half an hour.

I love Amsterdam, or at least I used to when I could still enjoy a good smoke.
The place can be a little dirty, particularly around the Red Light District, but the same can be said for the tourist areas of any major city.
Summer is the worst possible time to go. Spring or Autumn/Fall are by a long way the best times to visit. The temperature is lower and although you might get rain there are planty of places to stop off for a Beer or a smoke.
There are a shitload of good places to eat, although the majority of them are outside of the Red Light area. The profusion of fast food places in this area simply reflects the clientele, the bastards all have the munchies.
The Heineken tour is great and cost less than the price of the beer we drank (about 8 years ago). For all of you that are not fans of Heineken, I can assure you that the stuff at the brewery is a totally different drink. Do they still have the gravity pumps? Or the clear Glass pipes?
I don't think you mentioned the "Space Cakes". Baked with pure MDMA they are one of the best experiences of the coffee shops, even more so when you don't realise what you are eating.
For a more relaxed, less busy and cleaner experience, try Maastricht (sp?). Some really good coffee shops. There is prostitution, although it is a little less obvious than Amsterdam, but I found the vibe much better. Probably a nicer place, but more for the slightly older pot head among us.
Keep these posts coming.

I've been to Amsterdam twice, once to do all the cultural stuff, Rijksmuseum, Rembrandt House, Anne Frank House etc, and it was brilliant. The second time was just a week of stoned craziness, I went in April and it was pretty temperate. Good times.

Excellent description. I'm not a big fan of Amsterdam either. There's much better places to visit in Europe, but it has to be on the list.
You're right about the border control, it's rubbish! We smuggled throwing knives, hash, skunk, WAY too many cigarettes, shrooms, and all kinds of illegal shit. We thought this would be a universal thing, so we repeated it on our final leg back to England. We nearly got busted 'cos we got back on quite a significant date. September 11th 2001. If we got back the next day, I think we would have been totally fucked.

You're right, no two experiences there are the same. I spent 5 days in Amsterdam in the latter part of August 2005, and this is what I found there:
It was cold (about 60-65F) and rainy the whole time.
The city seemed pretty clean as far as big cities go (aside from the public pissers).
There were high-end restaurants everywhere. We ate at an expensive Argentinian steakhouse. I wasn't offended by the American fast food smells, though (I primarily ate KFC, McD's and FEBO).
I found a VERY hot Italian prostitute on the main drag in the RLD for €35/half hour. For the ones that were hot (nearly every one on the main drag, the trolls were in the alleys), they were way hotter than anything I saw in Germany, and cheaper by half.
Fuck Heineken..Amstel's the shit.
I was constantly being asked if I wanted to buy coke from random drug dealers.
I drove up from Giessen, and yeah..there's no border. One of the guys I know used to go up at least once a month and bring down a fresh supply of weed, coke, E, and shrooms. He never had any problems.
