Hi T-Mendes. Welcome to Mobilitysite. You'll find lots of good info and ppl here. I strongly suggest using the search feature if you have a question. It has probably been asked before. You'll also find surfing the forums to be very informative.

Enjoy. :approve:

Hi Tiago, How is life in Amsterdam, I have been thinking of at least visiting your area for a while maybe even moving there. This site is a lot of fun and has alot of information saved up over the years if you search for it or even just post a question if you want. There is more than just axim info here, especialy lately lol.

First of all thank you very much for the warm welcomes :)
Life in Amsterdam is just perfect. As most of you are probably aware prostitution and usage of softdrugs weed, shrooms, salvia etc... is completely legal, and harddrugs are somewhat tolerated. Needless to say Amsterdam has a "perfume of its own". There are many coffeeshops ( you can drink coffee, but for the ones that dont know, its purpose is to smoke weed).



COFFEESHOP THE GRASSHOPPER

Interesting is the fact that prostitution is legal, the whores pay their tax like any other worker, and they have to take healthchecks etc...
A tourist coming here most likely comes for these 2 things, and they remain somewhat amazed at the people here that they are not hogging the grass or going past the Red Light district 5 times a day.



A small section of the Red Light

When you grow up with this around you, it just becomes normal whether you do these things or not. The city of Amsterdam is also a very beautiful city definitly worth visiting for other reasons than the already mentioned. Amsterdam is a city for every taste since there is plenty to do. The weather sucks generally, but once you get used to it.




Another thing which is quite fascinating about The Netherlands is the bicycle.
Most roads in the Netherlands have a lane coloured in red/purple for city bicycles. In Amsterdam there are more bikes than people ( 2 per person on average) and its important to lock them up because they are like gold over here. There is always a place for you to cycle and if there isnt, it generally is safe to cycle on the road.

MALE BIKE



FEMALE BIKE





Imagine finding your bike in this mess



the roads for bicycles

Other things about the Netherlands, the food? it sucks, they havent got exactly many tipical dishes. They have some nice ones but generally you can forget about it.



the kind of thing that i wouldnt eat

you wrote inhalen-> Overtake ( as in overtaking a car) in a party way (feestelijk)?

This just shows translators are absolute rubbish, unless this really was what you are trying to say :P

Nice post Tiago, welcome to the site.
I must have missed your original post when I was off line for a while.

I love Amsterdam, been there many times, as recently as last week in fact.
But that was only Schiphol, flying in from Miami and straight into a Cab.

Yes, that's our Box, always flying into things. Here's a picture of him flying straight into the said cab:

Well Breley, as I was stumbling home from the pub, I remembered that a friend of mine happened to catch that event on her mobile phone camera.

As you can see from the irrefutable photographic evidence, I once again managed to save the day.

If only I had some video of me landing the plane safely and walking to the Coffee shop.




Now that's what I call hijacking a thread,

Sorry about that Tiago, but sometimes these things happen.
