Red Light District Police

Just a wee footnote to the Amsterdam trip.

We kept one of the little visitor guide things that the Hotel gave us when we arrived. In amongst all the usual tourist stuff is a section written by the police of the red light district. The whole thing is well written and casual, but here are some of the more amusing bits:

"If you visit one of the women, we would like to remind you, they are not always women."

"If you have any problems with a girl or a pimp, do not hesitate to ask a police officer. We know why you are there and can hardly surprise us."

"If you feel sick after smoking or eating space cake, drink lots of water with sugar."

Truly, theirs is a different world.
