Yeah Amsterdam is awsome, I came back a month ago. But you have to be prepared, because if your not the place will eat you alive. I spent over 4000eu in less than a week.
The first 3 days for me was a big cocaine binge, you can't help it because when your walking the streets of the red light district all you hear is whispers of "Cocaine ... Cocaine...". Before my time in Amsterdam I would have never smashed a prostitute, but I swear some of them are like supermodels, but then again some are men aswell so choose carefully.
I went during summer which is the best time to go, The best place to stay would have to be the Bulldog Hostel in Central red light district. Its is a backpackers hostel but its 5 star, and the women you meet come from all over the world, there is such a general friendly attitude amonst everyone so you will be very comfortable. The bulldog also has the best coffee shop (Weed Store) in holland.
Dont go to hard though, I lost so much weight in 4 weeks - all that hard work down the drain
