The tour guide said ‘It’s divided into two divisions – the first and second division’. No, it’s not the football league. It’s the Red Light District in Amsterdam! Walking down the packed cobbled streets we witnessed the distinction. In one area, slim glamorous women paraded their ‘smalls’ in brightly lit window parlours. In the adjoining area, grossly overweight unkempt women desperately tried to gain attention by tapping on the window of their dark seedy cabin. You need to check it out to believe it! I would recommend a guided tour of the area. Hear the real facts without attracting unwanted attention!
