Ib2K8: I Learned in Amsterdam..

May 29th, 2008

- COFEESHOP is different from Café

- houses were taxed depending on their width

- There is three red light districts in Amsterdam

- Mushrooms along side with Marijuana are decriminalized, but not legal

- Prostitutes rent the windows for 60-200 Euro for 6-8h and charges 50 Euro for 10-25min

- “XXX” Stands for the three disasters Amsterdam went through, which is fire, flood and disease

- The houses are tilted a little bit to the front so they can lift stuff up with-out breaking the windows

- The Blue light district branches out from the red light district and girls in there aren’t necessarily girls! Usually girls that have blue neon lights offer something more, kinkier

- The old church that is in the red district has always been there along with the red light district. The reason is back in the days fisher men come for the girls, the second day they feel bad for sinning, so they go to the church asking for forgiveness and the only way for that was to pay money for the church. So it was a win-win!
