Mobile phone cam shot of tourists and buildings, reflected in a puddle in Amsterdam. I've played with the contrast and saturation a bit, otherwise this picture is unedited, no Photoshop has been used to create the wickedness :))
It is thanks to brave people like these right here that the Amsterdam economy has not completely collapsed yet despite the harsh, idiotic, childish rules we have now in the best city in the world...for example, you can't stand up while having a drink on a terrace, you can't smoke a cigarette with your beer, you can't drink a beer with your joint and you can't have magic mushrooms with anything, while you're obliged to always carry a valid ID and bike lights on you, even if you don't have a bike (OK, that very last bit I made up, but with the current weird rules trying to control us like little babies, it could have been true ;), it is outrageous!
It seems that we're slowly turning back the wheel of oppression though, the 'Ai! Amsterdam' campaign, who's only goal is to make Amsterdam a fun city again, has announced that the ban on standing while drinking has been revoked, I'll have to look into that to be able to confirm it, so for now, make sure you're sitting down when you're enjoying a beverage, better safe than sorry ;-P
Have a wonderful weekend!
