When i personally think of Amsterdam i confronted with 2 different thoughts; on one side i have the thought of unique art and architecture styles, images of the canals,small streets and houses built around water, friendly people and then the other thought is of the marijuana cafes and the late night district but i want to know more about the city and not judge it as a stereotype.
