Thinking about what there is to do on a Friday night in Amsterdam. I've heard really good things about this place. It's actually right across the road from Melkweg that I talked about on the post below (which translates as Milky Way.......fact)
What I like about the look of clubs in Amsterdam, is the same as what I loved about clubs in Paris. The girls.
No, not like that. In Britain over past few years (....this is where I start to sound really old) girls have conformed more and more to what has been termed 'Stripper Chic'. We've all seen it, most of us have done it. 6 inch high heels, 2 inch skirt, big hair, piles of make-up and gallons of booze.
There is an atmosphere in the clubs and night-life streets of Britain; and it's not a pleasant one. It's tense, it looks seedy and there is often trouble.
In Europe, clubbing and night life in general is not based around drinking. It's much more about having a casual good time, being with friends and having a dance. Which is why you find most women dressed in attractive but comfortable clothes; jeans and a top. A dress they wore out shopping or to work.
There isn't the same pressure or expectation that British clubbing has where the girls, on mass, dress like they are on a mission to earn a few quid. This is not a judgement; people should be able to wear whatever they wish. These Stripper Chic girls (before the booze kicks in) do look amazing.
But I'm of a lazy disposition....... it's too much effort......and if your look doesn't fit in, you don't fit in and you feel uncomfortable. So I'm looking forward to the clubs in Amsterdam where I can just go and concentrate on what is important................. dancing really badly.
