RCdc -> RE: Amsterdam to close red-light district (2/9/2008 9:28:55 AM)
|
This is Darcy I visit Amsterdam farily regularly due to work commitments, and I have to say the first time I went for a look around the red light district I was susrprised at how un-sleazy it was. Compared to Soho in London, Amsterdam's red light area is clean, feels safe and is actually a pleasure to wander through, though some of the 'girls' on display could be serious contenders for proof of the missing link theory. Don't get me wrong, I love Soho and London, but Soho does have that feeling of being dirty and slighty unsafe, which is not necessarily a negative thing, as it adds to the whole atmosphere[;)]. My biggest complaint with Amsterdam is, ironically, the lack of many decent sex shops with quality toys and accesories. Everything is either cheap tat, or in the few 'upmarket' shops, so ridiculously expensive compared to Soho.
