Sorry Kate, just read this and as an inhabitant of Europe and frequent visitor of several Dutch towns including Amsterdam, this just made me laugh. Out hard.
That said, dear folks, just a reminder:
-Traveling to Paris will likely get you abducted within a half hour after landing.
-An overnight stay anywhere in Eastern Europe will get you sold on the internet.
-Not only is Belgium rampant with serial killers,
they get to film their exploits as well!
-Never mind roaches,
Spanish apartments are commonly infested with raging zombies.
-Just stay clear of Germany altogether, if you don't want your mouth getting sown to some stranger's ass, or vice versa.
-All in all, Amsterdam seems to be your best choice. With a little luck you'll bump into George Clooney and Brad Pitt in a coffee shop!
All joking aside Kate, and this is no attack, but rather some good advice: pay as much attention to any movie's 'warnings' about foreign cities as I take lessons from Deliverance or Texas Chainsaw Massacre: ABSOLUTELY NONE. Traveling broadens your mind and relieves those paranoid anxieties you may have about other people. You'll become a better person for it. The girlfriend & I have just made the decision to fulfill a lifelong dream in 2012: a four month motorhome trip through the States. The savings account just got established, but damn we can't wait, and no amount of grisly horror flicks we see in the meantime will change that.
Sorry for the derail, carry on about this Van der Sloot fucker. The amount of douchery on display would be laughable, if there weren't two people dead already.
