Be wary, some ppl in bars abuse of you when you go the Hedonistic type. They think you're gullible and drunk (so don't be too drunk)

Last time I did that (not in Amsterdam), a group of 5~6 sailors wanted to come in my hotel room. (And they also wanted me to pay for the note at the bar and for the taxi) (these were memorable holiday, for the record)

@op Don't you have internet friends that you could join in some other country ? Or is there some city that organises a mildly interesting fair around, with boonies to explore around ?

Very good point. Know your limits, and do things like only keep your hotel room key, phone, and a half empty wallet (keep money in your pocket as well as your wallet).. but don't let fear get in the way. We only live once.
