I saw nothing the slightest bit scandalous. Granted, that probably had a lot to do with the fact that I was there with my mom, but it's a gorgeous, clean, well-run city. The entire populace is not lighting up all day.

Did you have a good time?

That's what bugged me when people learned I was going to Amsterdam, because I'm just not that kind of person. We did walk through the red light district inadvertently after a long day of walking from gallery to gallery, but that was about all the scandal we had. Well...I tell a lie. We went to the Sex Museum too, but I practically walked around with my eyes closed so I don't think that it counts haha. So uncomfortable :s I was more taken with the architecture than anything else, and especially the local parks which were incredibly stunning. Especially because they all seemed to have a random guy playing Guitar which completely made the atmosphere. There's nothing better than sitting in a tree in Amsterdam listening to a Guitar playing and taking in the surroundings. I didn't even mind when it rained. I had a wonderful time! Thank you for asking I was ill with sun stroke on the last day, so rather than traipsing through the last of the galleries myself and another friend sat in the most homely, dingy cafe called Rooie Nelis while the others walked around in the sun. It was absolutely splendid, and I wanted to take the cafe home with me haha.
