Thinking of Amsterdam....

my Amsterdam born-and-raised lady friend did give me one bit of advice: she said NEVER, NEVER, sleep in the park, like I may see some people do ... she said it's likely I would wake up being robbed, at the point of a knife ... (sounds like my hometown in Illinois :D)

^

good advice but I'd say that applies to everywhere

^
Haha

Hahaha, same in newark :( kind of sucks

Why do only americans get killed in european hostels? Is that a statistic. Please enlighten me :)

Thanks for the advice so far folks, more info is welcome.

psteve, thanks for the info mate. My aim is to just go out there and get very high to be honest, maybe dabble in the culture also lol. Do you have any recommendations when it comes to accommodation?

Could be reffering to the film "Hostel".

hash is alot more expensive than that. Usualy fromm 30-50 euro for the good stuff. But theri are always deals and somtimes they are very good deals like the best hash of the year for 25 euro a g. Weed however is pretty cheap compared to the US, If you realy wana go go for this years cup it is Amsterdams off sesason so Hotels are a bit cheaper and for 200 American you get a judges pass and youll get at least 3 OZ of good herb and Hash to Judge alot with invitations to cafe parties or specials, kinda like happy hour here. Last year I was wasted the whole week and this year I got a nice spot to stay at and its right close to everything on the CUP. I recommend getting a bike its like 30 euro a week so if you stay a while it is good.

I'll be staying at the Bulldog hotel. It's like a hostel, but with the services of a hotel.
I sometimes stay at the Quentin Hotel.

I was thinkin about the Quentin Hotel have you ever stayed their?? I t looks kool i am gonna be either at ledsplien or at the central. Not sure which one yet the central is prtty cheap but right at the central, the ledis is right on the ledsplein I stayed at the leids 2 years ago and I liked it. They have free contintall breakfast buffet every morning and its right on the leidsplien. I found Price line is the best if your booking a total trip (air, car, hotel) For about 1300 american you can go to the CUP for a whole week and have a nice place to stay. I heard Manu Chow might play in the DAM somewhere during the cup week, I realy wana see that.

Many times.
At one time, I had a regular room there for three months a year.
