    Posted

    Like yourself Stew, i've fairly sensitive skin and occasionally get a touch of contact dermatitis. however i've found the following items/process work for me

     

    Steam from scalding hot shower and exfoliator for getting the pores open :thumbs: (Really should go down the hot towel route).

    After that the kit i use is:-

    Lots of great places to eat and drink pretty much on every street. If you're going for Steak, try to find an Argentinian restaurant.

    A few highlights though...

    Boom Chicago at Leidseplein for a bit of comedy http://www.boomchicago.nl/boomchicago/,

    Vondelpark is great for chilling,

    Villa Zeezicht for apple pie http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/villa-zeezicht-amsterdam-2

    and Barney's on Haarlemmerstraat for brekkie and a very different (smoking) menu :wacko:

    The Jordaan area should be a must :thumbs: as is the Oud Kerk(Old Kirk), Stedelijk and Rijksmuseum.

    Road users (not just car drivers) using phones or in-ear music devices and cyclists either not using light when dark or having them flashing. Had a near miss with a cyclist on the edge of the village a while back, who was cycling on the wrong side of the road, wearing dark clothing, had no lights (no hi-viz or reflectors) and was listening to an ipod. Not what you'd expect to see coming towards you on an unlit street at the end of a row of parked cars :bang:

    Drivers who will swing out around a pushbike on to your side of the road because they have no intention of slowing.

    +1 and drivers who won't stop behind a parked car forcing you to either slam the brakes on or mount the kerb :angry: - like the woman driving at about 40ish in a 20 zone in the village yesterday, who was too busy talking to her passenger.
