In Amsterdam we might not always be aware that what the city has to offer us – is not the standard for many who come to visit. As born Amsterdammers we are somewhat spoiled with so much choice to experience and entertain us Food Lovers, Fashion Passionates, Art & Music Lovers, Creators….
Local Virtues
Where others may still perceive them as unique once in a lifetime experiences, vices even – we Amsterdammers have accepted those vices as virtues, and walk from one unique experience to the next as normalities almost in every-day life…
…A thriving creative & music scene …dodging the 800.000 bikes when we are not biking ourselves…when was weed ever illegal….electing a night mayor as an official spokesman for all things concerning Amsterdam’s nightlife & clubscene…staying at hotels that are creative hubs or creative hubs that are hotels….clubbing in a church…not noticing the amazing history everywhere…swinging from the top of a tower…
