Sure, the Red Light District is a must see attraction there (i lived there when i visited the city - in a Christian Hostel) - but it's just one of the many things to see. Just walking around the city is a wonderful experience, seeing the tall, narrow (and sometimes crooked) buildings huddling close together, taking a boat ride in the many canals, paying a visit to Anne Franks' house - and be touched and moved by a powerful experience, taking a train out to the country side and see the windmills, go to the flower market, visit the museums (the 10 euro price tag for Van Gogh's museum is worth it!), check out the many little stores wif interesting wares, etc.
I'll be away for a couple of days so i'll leave ya with some pics to enjoy!!! Yes, i've finally got all me pics compiled together (took me half a year!!!!) and you can check them out in me Picassa Web Album.
Here's a collage of the red light district at nite and the many canals to whet your appetite!
Oh, and did i mention that everyone cycles there? Bicycles everywhere!!!!! When you cross the road, dun worry about the trams and cars - keep an eye out for the biicycles!!!
p/s - France pics will prolly take another 6 months to get them ready...

Wow Amsterdam looks really, really nice. I'll be visiting there during the summer term, so yes, I'll look out for all those places that you mentioned! The photos are really lovely. It's getting me excited and looking forward to my summer tour! When did you go there, by the way?
Just wanted to ask, how did you manage to find that hostel? Because that's the only thing we're trying to sort out.
