any answers would be helpful


I love this site, and you all rock!


thank you all!
English all over Amsterdam. My mother was there over the past weekend and she said it was great apart from the Food. She said it was so laid back that food wasn't top of the agenda. She wasn't there doing what we would be doing, so she says anyway, and reckons that English is spoken more than any other language.

Dutch isn't really neccesary, good to know if you have the ability, but your English will get you through no bother!
