Yes, yes and yes. But as always you might need a local to show you around or you won't be able to find the really good places.

But you should probably remember all of these things are normal here. The red light district, with women behind shop windows, might be exciting to you, but if you round a corner you'll find yourself in just another residential street where normal people live and children play on the streets.

It's not a wild city by definition. It's just different. The vast majority of Amsterdammers are completely normal people, don't expect one huge party scene like Berlin during the Love Parade or something.

Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n Roll?

Lie, cheat, and steal. Beg, borrow, and deal.

That's the case for every city probably. Ok, if I once come there, I'll let you be my guide. But you gotta promise no Blue Oyster Club's.

LOL, that's not what I imagined. I thought the district was in some "deserted" part of town where only those who want something go. So what a kid looses a ball, goes across the street and a hooker gives it back to him? What a town.

That couldn't be further from the truth, it's in the heart of the city and there's a good chance you'll stumble upon it by accident.

Like Erik said, nobody cares.

No it's right in the city centre. Same goes for The Hague. In fact, on my way to university I used to take a short cut through the red light district. Just walk past hookers and pimps with my morning coffee and my DHU bag

I'm drunk I'm out after the next cig.

Is it a prosperous one? Cause in Utrecht there's this one street with like three shops and that's it.

Even greater

Like I said I heard stories. I don't know much about the town except for the stereotype; wild city, sex, drugs...

That sounds awesome.

The stories make the rounds to sucker tourists to come spend their money in this country.

I think there's about 20-25 in all. Doesn't take more than two minutes to cross through if you walk at steady pace though.

Ah, the classic come-visit-Holland-and-you'll-see-garbage-bags-in-the-streets.

 

[Slagathor]

As opposed to giant dumpsters in Italy and randomly migrating garbage in the UK, yes

Spain is no different. Barcelona is perhaps one of the dirtiest cities I have ever seen.

 

[Seven]

Wait a minute. There are cities that don't have garbage bags?

 

[Martin]

That's why Germans are infatuated with Norway

Wait a minute. There are cities that don't have garbage bags?

Amazing as it sounds, yes.

 

[Slagathor]

Not on the Continent there aren't, that I've seen anyway

So how do you take out your trash in Norway?
