Wanted to get this back on my first trip in 2001,,then again during many years and drunk walkabouts in the Wallen but didn't want to go to the FKK clubs with a fresh wound....

So,,I finally imprinted Amsterdam on me for life...

A crossroad in my 40's that empowered me to Seize the Day,,,Carpe Diem

Having to explain the meaning of the three XXX's is the main challenge when I meet women in the USA :) :(

The meaning has morphed over time going back to the 13th Century

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Amsterdam


Motto

During the 1941 February strike in Amsterdam, for the first time in Europe non-Jewish people protested against the persecution of Jews by the Nazi regime.[3] Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands wanted to remember the role of the citizens of Amsterdam during World War II and created a motto consisting of the Dutch words "Heldhaftig, Vastberaden, Barmhartig", meaning "Valiant, Steadfast, Compassionate". On March 29, 1947, Wilhelmina presented the motto as part of the coat of arms of Amsterdam to the city government.[1]

Never will I forget the emotion that overwhelmed us, when eyewitnesses first notified us in London of how the entire population had actually turned against the inhumanity of the cruel tyrant.[i][3]
—Wilhelmina of the Netherlands

In the coat of arms of Amsterdam, the motto is written on a silver scroll. This scroll is positioned on top of the compartment under the escutcheon.

Coolwhip-

I came very close on a few occasions to get tatted in the Wallen but I didn't feel comfortable with the parlor's AND as stated previously didn't want to deal with an open wound whilst going in and out of Kamers. Sauna Clubs and Fkk's.

Good choice as I found out that the healing process does take a bit longer than I would want to deal with on vacation.

Most people that see the XXX don't have a clue as to the true meaning,,,both in Amsterdam History and from my personal experiences:)
