those are some really cool pics..I used to visit the Dam in the mid to late 80's, then skipped for 20+ years..I know stuff has changed but family tells me it hasn't, windows are still the same from the 80's..bullshit i call it..
seeing these calls them out on it..it's shocking how it was about 50 guilders ($25 for us yanks) back then, and has only really doubled over a 20+ years...hell, in the states, it takes $40 to get in the door at a parlor and then another $100 for full service....ah,i regress...cool pics man!
It hasn't even doubled. It used to be 50 guilders suck OR fuck and then it changed to 50 Euros suck AND fuck. The 50 guilders was typically for 10 mins and not the 15-20mins considered the norm today. With inflation it's actually cheaper now in real terms for a Dutch citizen or if you ignore exchange rate changes for foreigners.
I think you could walk along the main canal at 9pm and not think anything had changed. It's only when you venture into the Sexyland area that it becomes obvious or when you notice all the sex shops are closing at 10pm!
