Open Freedom

The reason I like Amsterdam in the Netherlands is tolerance. What other place can you find a large multitude of languages, religion, and sexual orientation in the world? Or watch a canal boat pass by a bridge as a homeless man (perhaps a drug addict) defecates in the waters of the Amstel? The homeless man waving to the tourists on the canal boat as the feces continues to fall. This is actually a bad example of Amsterdam. Amsterdam is actually one of the most friendliest places on the planet. If you have a desire to smoke a marijuana joint you can do so at a coffeeshop. Haven't had sex for a while? Well there is the red light district. That goes for men as well as women! There are male and female....um...givers of sexual pleasure. If you're gay or lesbian the same applies. Lots of places to get a large frothy cup of coffee or a large mug of beer. Watching a woman kiss another woman or a man kissing another man is tolerated so well in Holland. Too bad the world can't do the same.

My best friend got to visit Amsterdam this year while in Europe. She said the same thing, everyone was friendly. I wanted pics of the red light district but she said they told them they couldn't take pictures. lol
