Amsterdam: Red Lights, Camera, Action!

Friday, October 19: After museum-hopping during the day, what better way to follow it up than with a trip to the Red Light District. This is an area, basically of just a few streets, alongside the canals, where prostitutes sit in windows, lit up by red neon lights, waiting for some one to hire them. It seemed like most of them were just chatting on their phones or smoking cigarettes, bored. Some were old, some were all S&M-ed out. Derek pointed out a couple of the more famous girls, that are always there, and well-known. No pictures of this though, not allowed! It really wasn't all that sleazy, except for a few shady alleys, that we didn't really venture into.
