The more that I read about Amsterdam, the more I’m determined to move there. Is marijuana legal? Check. Is gay marriage legal? Check. Fast internet? Check. Primary modes of transportation are bicycles and small boats, meaning less pollution and less costly than filling up on non-renewable fossil fuels, and is also some good exercise. With 176 different nationalities, Amsterdam is home to a wider variety of nationalities than any other city in the world. I love how tolerant this place is, it seems like everyone is welcome there. Hockey? Check. Baseball? Check.
I need to go brush up on some Dutch.

When I first found out my son was going to college there, the first thing I thought of was opium dens. Just something I would like to try once. He’s got 2 more full years there so I still have a chance to visit.
IU would like to go there too.
I don’t know if I could bring myself to actually move out of the country, but visiting there is something I’ve always wanted to do.
Not trying to start a conflict or anything, but how does gay marriage affect you personally? (with my assumption that you are indeed heterosexual) I just find it interesting that you used it as a stipulation when considering a place to live.
Geezus, I want to go there now.
It’s too cold for me.
Yes! I’ve been a fan of Amsterdam for years. First, for a certain “colored luminous” district (hehe), but then with a few more years behind me I found some other priorities in life and Amsterdam just kept getting better.
And like most similar countries, even with legal marijuana and no real drinking age limit, the crime rate is so much lower than here in the states. *sigh*
ryc: I’d appreciate the effort but I’m a bit bogged down with class at the moment. Thanks though. :/
Gearjammer007 he’s trying to support his statement that Amsterdam is overall run better than the United States. I have to agree too, this country is full of too many idealogical morons.
My brother and I went to Amsterdam for three days and it is the most friendly, beautiful and amazing place ever. Yeah, everything is legal, people are open minded and friendly, and they’re incredible enviromentally minded. Definitely visit. I miss it.
