Any suggestions on places to go, things to see... I have 24 hours to kill here! I detoured through Amsterdam whilst lecturing in Germany for one of the first three international Linux conferences and twice on my honeymoon (it's nice to stop someplace close to one end of your trans-Atlantic flight, catch your breath, and then continue on your way after you have more sleep). I like walking in increasingly large concentric circles stopping at anything interesting. Herring is nice, John Lenon's sketches at the Erotic museum are interesting, some of the other Dutch food is decent, Van Gogh is interesting, the coffee shops are good, and the pastry shops are just fine after visiting the coffee shops which sell joints of different flavors in convenient five packs. One of the ladies in the red light district said she'd do both me and my wife; as a single person you might find some one like her. The same strategy works for other metropolitan areas although the specifics vary. Madrid and Barcelona have better music, Berlin has a better bar scene, Barcelona has better architecture, it's all different and fun.
