Amsterdam is great. coffe shops everywhere. All over holland. Maastricht is cheaper and better quality. The dutch french and germans go there. Its like buying bread in bakery. I went to cheech and chongs, mostly. Next time - definately maastricht

No hassles (i was there in 2001). Just stay far far away from the red light district, and it is the best thing outside of africa at midnight during a thunderstorm

The only problem is that they won't give you a work permit. If they do - let us know how you did it. Please!
