Our
gay scene in Amsterdam is without doubt the largest
in Europe.
Amsterdam
is a tolerant, liberal city and open free lifestyles
are everywhere ... Leather boys slide'n on down
to the "Warmoesstraat" ... the oldest
street in Amsterdam ... a friend calls it `La
Rue de Vaseline'.
The
... modern, trendy boys, pose down along the "Reguliersdwarsstraat" and
hang out at HAVANA ... often spilling out into
the street on weekends.
The
classics, mostly camp it up at the "Amstel" bar
conveniently and "fortunately, considering
it's name"...is located along the Amstel canal
near "Rembrandtsplein".
