@Pralina1 Don't die. Move to Amsterdam instead.

@WonderWartHog99 y ?

@Pralina1 Liberal politics and compared to the US, few fundamentalist Christians. One of my Dutch friends recommends Rotterdam instead.

One of the things that got to me is their plan to get drunks off the street: give them daily pay for cleaning up the streets with a six pack of beer at the end of the day.

@WonderWartHog99 I was born in Italy and I grew up btwen Italy and Greece . I ve been to A twice , and I will have to say , if u are not drinking or doing drugs , not much to do there . I haven't been there in 25 yrs , but I doubted the culture has changed .

@Pralina1 Petunia and I spent most of our time in their museums and dodging people on bicycles. Everybody assumed I wanted to go there for the coffee houses. I was more interested in sampling their Indonesian cuisine than getting blotto. I was awe struck finding public works of art on almost every corner and their intense interest in gardening. Unlike the US, excellent and cheap public transportation. z

Unlike the US, except for night clubs, once the sun goes down the city closes down.
