this is absolute b/s.
the closest this came to being reality was 2 years ago when 2 'dutch' guys were refused sale in 'smokey' coffeeshop, they were told 'we don't serve dutch here', and i don't even think that was true.

Maybe I should try to book my ticket months in advance so it will be cheap, what is a good amount of days to stay there and everything?..It would be really cool to get a group from Texas to go or something, I just know much about amsterdam. But i know its beautiful, I want to go for the sites and the smoke shops and to just hang out..
What does everyone think i would spend on tickets if i booked in a few months in advance, even tried to go through a travel agent or something.
I really want to go.

flights from america can't be cheap. as far as i know there are no budget airlines flying to/from america, you'd have to find out the best prices on-line, not sure where to look for america.

a travel agent can be good as they can find the best priced flights, but they charge for the service. if you want to book on-line but can't find anything go to an agent, they will find you the best prices, tell them it's to much, go home and book it yourself. :thumbsup:

as for hostels/hotels/appartments etc, the best prices are at, www.bookings.nl
i normally go to a'dam 2 times a year and stay 3 or 4 nights each time.

my favourite coffeeshop, dutch flowers, singel 387. i think it's the best in a'dam. :stoned:

i got back last week i loved it will make a thread soon!!!!

i'm off to amsterdam tomorrow for a couple of nights.

gonna check out as many coffeeshops as possible, especially ones i've not been to before. :stoned:

I'll be in the dam on my b-day the 12th of Oct with my friend. I can't wait! :rasta: :dance: :p :stoned: :cool: :)
