Regarding the hi-tech bar and brown cafe bar situation, one of the things I love about the place actually is the lack of Hi-Tech bars. I lived in London which is full of them and have to say I hated them. They are bars full of the most mind numbingly boring people you could ever wish to lay eyes on - people who are more interested in what they and others are wearing, trying to be trendy and interesting when they are in the main air-heads who are in general only interested in money, house prices and who idea of fashion in clothes, music, films etc will come from a magazine without having the imagination to find out for themselves about the subject. In Amsterdam, I would term places like the Mansion (hideously horrible), Jimmy Woos etc as types of these bars.
That's me in a nutshell. :bis:
Though I disagree. I just don't like the mood in brown cafe's. It's dark and gloomy and people go there to drink - a lot.
I like to nurse my drink (not a heavy drinker at all.) and look around and chat w/ people w/o having to shout 'cause of the loudness of the music or having to twist and turn because of the crowdiness around my spot.
