Hi

Next monday i go to Amsterdam, 4 days and 3 nights xD

-¿Where i can buy letter and stamp?


Letter? Or postcards and enveloppes?

You can buy poststamps at the postoffice, the supermarkets (almost all of them), department stores, office supply stores etc.

Almost all shops which seel postscards...and you won't miss any of them when you are in Amsterdam. Don't worry...you will have a hard time not finding stamps.



-¿Where is party Tuesday and Wednesday night? Discos, pubs, concerts, rave, i dont care, anything its ok

Rembrandtplein (Rembrandtsquare is a good start). THere are a lot of bars and pubs there.

For clubs you have to ask Psycho. He is more familiar with the scene in Amsterdam.

There are several clubs...but yeah...rarely go there if at all:

Paradiso, http://www.paradiso.nl/web/show
Melkweg, http://www.escape.nl/club.html?show=home
Escape, http://www.melkweg.nl/





-¿Where i can take the breakfast?

Don't worry...you can have that everywhere.

The squat scene agenda is here: http://radar.squat.net/index.php?mode=search&profile=radar&what=0&where=22 but is pretty empty
For tekno etc parties ask around here: http://www.freetekno.nl/
The clubs hindsight linked you too are pretty expensive but if you send me a pm on time I can probably get you on the (half price) guestlist for paradiso or melkweg.

But to be honest you pick a bad time to visit Amsterdam, everything is here always pretty much dead between Christmas and newyear. You should really consider to extent your stay to newyears eve, that's when all the good parties are (and the most obscene amounts of fireworks you will ever see).

Last tip, stay away from the bulldog coffeeshops, they are tourist rip offs, if you go to a big one go to rokerij, dampkring or abraxas

go to the minds! :P

go behind damn square, cross street, pass a huge store on your right, then take a left into the street with the wonderfully painted squats. Then, look for the red neonlight arrow pointing down.

Beer 1.70, wodka 2.10, whiskey etc 2.30. You can smoke inside. Lots of punk music.

Not exactly a party, more of a place to get drunk relatively cheaply and bump into -> meet people. Maybe for before your raves etc ;)

Sugarfactory is nice, say hi to the bouncers for me ;-)
On Tuesday ill be working this party: http://www.melkweg.nl/artikelpagina.jsp?language=nederlands&batchno=1&offset=0&artikelid=230898&disciplineid=muziek&agendaitemid=230899
Paradiso will have a more gayish party: http://www.paradiso.nl/web/Agenda-Item/Glitterazzi-1.htm

Whiskey cola is just whiskey cola, rum cola is a baco.

I wouldn't buy a bike, all cheap bikes are stolen and the cops do check a lot.
Rent one instead, macbike are a decent company.

Oh, and do not wear your bilbao shirt while clubbing, most clubs bounce guys in football gear.

Surely i´ll visit melkweg, looks great


Thanks for explanation about shirt, but with dc shoes, jeans and random shirt when i clubbing, no?

One question more, can you recommend a smartshop?


Thank you very much for answer

Some clubs bounce ppl on sneakers but they suck anyway.
Send me a pm for the melkweg guestlist.
Any smartshop should be good as long it is indeed primarily a smartshop, innerspace are friendly people.
