Amsterdam was amazing. 
the Stones Cafe Giant posing throwing me out of the pub. he realised that the pub name would be in the pic and this would be plastered over the internet. if you get a chance go check out Stones Cafe - a great place for Drinkers and Smokers. And a with a bit of entertainment thrown in provided by The Giant!
so theres not that many photos. I've been to The Dam three times now, and theres only so many pictures you can take of the Canals and buildings and parks an that.
we had a great time chilling out. we really didn't get up to that much - each day consisted of us walking through Vondelpark to go to Leidseplien to have breakfast at the Pancakes House (a godawful british tourist sports bar, that sucked at night, but did great breakfast). then we'd wander off for a walk round the canals, stopping off at a random bar for a weise beer. then we'd hit the RLD, go to The Old Sailor, get pissed and watch the Xmas/Boxing Day football and listen to a crazy selection of shite europop and motown??!!
this was my fave bar - the atmosphere was so great, and even though it was in the centre of the RLD, the clientele were a dead normal friendly bunch. great place.
after that, we'd have a nose round the ladies on the way to Stones Cafe - where we'd sit and drink more and smoke (as you could in this pub, which was excellent). once we'd had enough, we'd then go for a posh evening meal, then head off to Leidseplein, where for three days running, we'd end up in the worst bars in the world (apart from our last night, the 3 Sisters was really nice, go there if you get a chance).
i really didn't wanna come back, as i knew i had nothing going on till New Years. i absolutely love Amsterdam - and i'll really miss the place while i'm unable to go back (other plans for 2009 will get in the way).
hope everyone had a great Xmas, and has a fantastic New Year.
S'laters!

I really would like to get my shit together and do a bit of travelling this year, but I seem to be running out of time and holidays already!
