make sure you got a nice warm coat, feb is cold, it snows quite often in feb.

150 if that's just for smoke it's about right, depends how much you smoke. i spend 70-100 a week. i always buy specials when i go to a'dam so always spend more.

i went last year with a friend, he spent 1000 pound in 3 nights, including everything travel costs, flight, hotel, smoke, food, drink, going out, smoking parahernalia etc. he did go a bit crazy.

drinks can be expensive, around 2 euro for a small soft drink in a coffeeshop/cafe, beer about 3.50-4euro a pint.

if you wanna save money on food and if your lucky the hostel will have a kitchen you can use(the flying pig did), go to a supermarket and buy a couple of pizzas(there own make will cost less then 5 euro for 2) and a bottle of soda or a few cans of beer. if they have a microwave you should be able to eat cheap every day. :thumbsup:

i've only found one resturant that's what i'd call cheap:

hap-hum 1e helmersstraat 33

i had a pretty big bowl of tomato/veg soup followed by a plate of potatos and broccoli with another smaller plate with braised beef, there was no room on the plate for the beef, i washed it down with a bottle of heineken, it came to just under 9 euros, i gave her a tenner, 'at that price keep the change dear'
