-
- There are hundreds of small hotels in Amsterdam. Even at the height
- of Summer you can usually find a room within 15 minutes walk
- of the train station. Ignore the agents trying to palm you off
- with an out of centre caravan unless you are really stuck.

-
- They tend to have menus in the coffee shops at presumably tourist prices.
- From all accounts it's far more expensive than it used to be since the
- government started supplying it to the shops. No more than typical for
- the rest of Europe though I think.

- Anywhere really. The Hard Rock Cafe, Amsterdam?, McDonalds? (Would you
- like some Marijuana with your Big Mac sir...). Everyone speaks English.

- Certainly not in the big name ones that would like to stay open... But
- at night almost every second person on the street will offer you this.

- Never motivated to find out.

-
- Cannabis effectively nil. Your mileage may vary on the rest.
