Everyone who knows their way around the shops in the capital knows that 60% of them are shite, still, WTF !!??
Closing all those shops does not mean that tourists will cease to buy the goods. They just don't have a place to sit around and do it peacefully without bothering anyone while their at it.
So here is my prediction:
A tourist (probably french) will wander on the streets of Amsterdam while high. Very high, for the first time in his life. Head like a rock spinning round and round he gets run over by a cyclist, or falls into the canal or a pigeon strikes him in the eyes.
The french tourist gets badly hurt and needs to go to the hospital, he barely survives this unfortunate course of events.
We all know what happens when french tourists get hurt. The french at home are outraged, they demand that the dutch alter their policy. And we as good Europeans immediately do so. Fucking french tourists..
I'm almost sure this will be the course of events, just like they banned the selling of magic mushrooms last year. Guess what ? People are still using them, but now they do so with no control or oversight or instructions. We are definitely improving society here, More danger to society, very 21st century.
Also they will close some of those famous windows where the prostitutes offer their services, I will not write about that because I don't feel the same passion for this subject but basically the story is the same.
