An open minded country


From drugs to sex trade, Amsterdam is willing to show you everything they got



A lot of people smoking weed in coffee shops, or even on the streets. Hanging out for a while with some friends or just studying. It seems to be very normal; they are obviously used to this in a free minded country like Holland. You can’t imagine this same picture in my country, Chile. Here – in Amsterdam – nobody cares about what are you or aren’t doing.

They are a very open minded society, you can find different stores where you can buy many types of weed, and they are all over the city. You can also go to the nearer coffee shop where you will find a menu with different sorts of beeps. Nobody is going to say anything to you, because it’s legal, and most of the citizens do it currently.

Every tourist that goes to Amsterdam visits this places looking for a new adventure, thinking that they will feel freer because there, it’s normal and they will not have to hide from the law like in their countries. It’s an attraction from this great city, and is impossible not to at least enter to one. I wasn’t alone; I went with my very traditional parents, who thought this was horrified.

Well that isn’t all the freedoms that the Dutch have, they also have this famous place called the Red-light district, where different types of women offer themselves. I was impressed by all the variety they have, from incredibly beautiful young ladies to very fat and old ones. There was definitely a kind for each taste. There was an old couple from Spain, who couldn’t believe all the sin they were watching, they were practically shocked; they even told us not to go. Of course, we went anyway.

It is a very interesting place to go, you really can’t expect anything, of course you have to go with an open mind, and ready to see everything, From people smoking anywhere at any time, to very young prostitutes ready to satisfy every male sexual fantasy.
