Amsterdam

I love this city. Having been many times, it's one of the few other places I'd consider living. A city that can be as busy as you want it to be, from the intense red light district and the many stag parties, to the very quiet and peaceful city centre backstreets. It also helps that they all speak English!

Getting around is madness. You have to skip past cars, buses, trams, thousands of bikes, and then they stick canals in the middle of everything just for good measure! There's good retail, restaurants, art, and coffeshops for every taste!!
