guestMakes interesting reading. Sounds like not much has changed in since the late 70s and early 80s. I lived and worked in Amsterdam for a number of years. Lived on the Singel, worked on Herengracht. Lived in Beethoven and Corbetstraat and worked in the same area. I even lived on Prinseneiland for a while as well as Gaasperplas when the Floriade was built there. Many happy times were spent on Leidseplein as well as Rembrandsplein, not to mention shopping on the Albert Kuyp. Free summer concerts in the Vondelpark and bike rides in het Amsterdamse Bos. Celebrations in de Jordaan, singing along with the Jordaanse muziek. Then there was Sunday morning coffee, reading the newspaper in the Amstel. For some quiet during the Saturday afternoon, a visit to the Church of Scotland and the gardens of the Begijnenhof. Such happy memories. I wonder how much of all this is still possible?
