I know I could easily open up a book or google Amsterdam to find out, but I like hearing from the people that live there, and/or know their stuff.
What kinds of food are tied strongly to Dutch culture in Amsterdam?
(theres gotta be foods that are a must while your traveling there..)
Any reccomendations of local breweries?
(I've been reading; a lot of locals rave about these "Brown Cafes")
Aside from the cafes, red light dist, and museums, any cool looking churches or interesting architcture? (if so, where?)
I was reading a bit about graffiti walls in and around Amsterdam.. Where abouts would I have to go to see them? (or perhaps they are very obviously seen once you get there..)
How do the trams work?
(Are they easy to use, or is there much room for complication)
A fellow told me something about going to the GVB and getting a multi-day travel card.. ?
(Cost? is it a good buy for your buck?)
and lastly..
Are there any clubs or places for people more laid back.. for lack of a better term.. hippies.. (besides cafes..) I mean, places that won't blast you out with techno dance and lights that make you want to siezure.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!! :)
