I went Amsterdam (Netherlands) during this hectic weekend! I really love the place despite it RED LIGHT district! Joined a day tour and realized that the oldest prostitute around is 82 years old! OMG! I seriously cannot imagine!
okie...some info about the city culture n history...
It is really ironical that just right besides the red light district are churches! n people can repent in ADVANCE! tt means to say that u noe u r gg 2 sin this weekend and u just gg to the church BESIDE the red light district to repent and confess before the weekend! the churches r built right beside the red light district to facilitate such conveniences!...hahaha...when I heard of it..I seriously don't know what to say...
Prostitutes pay taxes!! In Amsterdam, as long as there r money to be made, any profession, any dealings are OK..as long as it is done discreetly! That the local political attitude..tt why drugs and prostitution are allowed...
No pic of Red Light District! becoz tt is forbidden! U will suffer a terrible fate if the prostitutes saw people taking pics of them! Terrible fate: pour acid on you, punch and beat the hell out of you!
These prostitutes will basically stand n pose sexily in front of a transparent glass door, trying to entice passer-bys..n there r many glass doors beside each other..haha..so from far, it looks to me there r many mannequins in human life form posing..people called it fish ~ bowl..it is actually a very very nice looking view from far..but too bad I cannot take pictures so cannot share with u! Next on...DRUGS!
Drugs are normally sold in places named "Coffeeshop"....the coffeeshops' names are discreetly hinting that drugs are available!
This pic shows an example of a typical coffeeshop selling drugs! It is not obvious at all right?!Amsterdam allowed drugs and prostitution BUT it is illegal to drink alcohol on the streets of Amsterdam!...what logic? We were approached by 2 policemen telling my friends that they are not allowed 2 drink beer on the streets!
There is a chinatown street in Amsterdam citycentre! Hahaha...there are temples n many different chinese cuisines..dim sum, roast duck, chinese food,...etc...feel a sense of familiarity when I walked down this street! But the food r all soo expensive!
Next...showing u all the nice pics of Amsterdam rivers, canal, architectures and building.. the place is really beautiful
The night view is even more magnificent! But sadly..my camera cannot capture nice night pics..those nice ones r with my Jap friend! Wil get from him and post them up soon!
