I am dutch that at first.
My opnion about Amsterdam en i am not allone in this.
You want drugs go to Amsterdam
You want to be robbed, you go to, indeed.
You want to live expensive, again, yes.
You want to be ripped by restaurants, yes, again.
You want to be ripped by parkingmeters, o wel,l yes again.
You want to pay a lot of money for a place you wanna call home, and if you want to pass eachother indoors, you have to step out, go to freaking Amsterdam.
In short i hate Amsterdam its like New York and Paris you wanna be there and if u are youre gonna be ripped robbed en mobbed en ruined.
Tourists taken one advice if you going to this freaking place get yourself a bodyguard and a safetydepositbox for your belongings.
Don't leave them out of your sight.
O and one advice if you take a taxi wathc your freaking money htey let tourists pay more, A LOT MORE, than the Dutch exept when they are drunk.

and the country is called the netherlands not holland!
THE NETHERLANDS!!
holland is just the part where all the 'cheese heads' live.

The Netherlands is not as it's depicted in this vid. I went there in 2008 for a 2 week vacation and got mugged on the very first night. I suffered stab wounds during the attack and was hospitalised for my entire trip. Sadly complications set in and I died a month later. I'm never going back I can tell you!
