Go to Amsterdam anyway.....................Trust me on this.
I've been there enough times to know it's the sewer of western Europe; the place losers go to drop out of life. I thin it was on my third trip when I stopped and thought "What am I doing in this dump?". The whole place smells of mold. I'm sure there's a nice place somewhere in that city, but it's not withing walking distance of the train station. Since my roaming days are long behind me, I can't think of a reason to ever go back.
