I love Amsterdam and The Netherlands. I always will. I have spent six months there over the last 20 years, and loved every minute. I am sure that I will spend more time there, but I will miss the coffeeshop culture and the young people that it attracts.
I like to think that I can somewhat understand the issue from both sides having seen some pretty nasty behaviour from visitors while staying there. They come for the weed, but get in trouble because of the booze. That might drive me crazy too.
On the other hand, some value liberty over all other needs and desires, and that is something that I can totally relate to.
It should be interesting to see how it plays out.
