I would like to have see a bit of the city all-around, I'm thinking of moving there for 6 months or more.

Good choice... Although it's hard to really see what the city is like if you don't know anyone there (yet), because the most likely places you would end up are mostly very touristy places that don't reflect the city life at all.

Is the Stedelijk Museum still in its temporary site or has it reopened?
Whatever, check it out, was good when I was there last.

Damien Hirst's skull is on display here. Pretty interesting see, wheter you're into his work or not. Nice clubs are: Flexbar (a bit druggy, but nice) and Sugar Factory. A nice bar for Amsterdam local drinking experience is Café De Wetering. A nice market is mondaymorning's Northern market, and a really nice designshop is called 290 square meters. Oh, and FOAM, the photomuseum is good.
- Needless to say: the drugs are good too, but not necessary for the Amsterdam experience.Sandder

The hotel Linda was nice when I once stayed there, actually very nice for the price, BUT I read reviews about it once and got the impression it might be hit or miss...
All the others I know were terribly overpriced, but I can email around..
when are you thinking of coming?
btw - the temporary Stedelijk museum is closed I believe now.. I'm not overly impressed with the museums in amsterdam, rotterdam is better and have yet to check out the design museum in breda...
The Wim Crouwel exhibition just ended last weekend – http://fontfeed.com/archives/80-…
drop me a line anders when you have your dates confirmed and I'll see what I can do..

How was your trip Neue75?
I just arrived in NL myself, and am looking to spend a couple days in Amsterdam and some of the other cities this week. Most likely spending Nieuwjaar in Amsterdam though — will try my best not lose any eyeballs or limbs.
What places did you enjoy on your recent visit? There were a tonne of great suggestions in this thread

The Dolphins coffee shop near leidseplein! Free wifi, lots of goods and great coffee.

are you planning to work in ams?

Depends on the city I guess — I currently work in NY.
I would definitely be checking out a lot of museums, and enjoying a bean + pint or two.
Why do you ask?

Has anyone visited the Escher museum in The Hague?
http://www.escherinhetpaleis.nl/…Also probably high hopes here, are there any Wim Crouwel related exhibitions or places I should visit while here in NL?

WTF are they doing to amsterdam?
they are seriously ruining it and they're going to loose a TON of money.... why would tourists go if theres no more chicks, weed, shrooms?
sad....
