Is it incredibly easy to use the Dutch rail system. Almost everyone in the Netherlands speaks English and I am pretty sure all the employess of NS (Netherlands Railways) do also. At the ticket office just ask in English for a single or return to Alkmaar. They also do tickets for example Amsterdam CS-Alkmaar-Den Haag CS-Amsterdam CS.
As a foreigner you can also buy a ticket valid for travel for any three days in a month. This offers unlimited travel in the whole of the system (except international trains). The cost was Dfl130 (about €60)
The rail system is relatively clean, very safe and quite relaible.

I'd forget about the Alkmaar RLD, as prices are now the same as the Walletjes,
but you pay an extra 10 Euro for the train, and 6 for the taxi (each way) - If you
don't know where you are going, the RLD can be difficult to find from the
station. The number of girls is also much less than other RLDs. If you do
feel adventurous, you could try the Zandpad RLD in Utrecht (20 mins by train
from CS) or the Leeuwarden RLD (2hrs by train, but the price there is usually
25 Euro and most are quite lenient with the amount of time too. Quality of
girls is pretty good, even an Anna Kournikova lookalike!, or there was the last
time I was there a few months ago - Authorities here in NL are cracking down
on places where there are girls from outside the EU). The Geleenstraat RLD
in Den Haag (which is quite close to the HS station) is also very nice, lots of
good qualities there, but I wouldn't go to either of the other two - in fact I read
one of them was being closed down).
As for trains, just state your destination, and you may get asked "enkeltje?" (single)
or "retourtje" (return), but most likely the attendant will spot from your accent
that you are not local and will ask in english. An alternative is you use the ticket
machines, which have instructions in english [they tell you which buttons to press
since they are written in dutch] - You have to use the ones that operate with
coins, because the card operated ones don't take foreign credit cards.

A few thoughts on Amsterdam and Alkmaar. With about six trips under the belt to Amsterdam, I'll post a few things remembered and learned. In the last 4 years, things have changed for the worst. Four years ago the price was 25 - 50 nlg, now 50 euros is standard. All of the windows were full in the past, now often there are many empty windows even on a weekend. Many of the girls look much more hardened now, and if any of us had to do this work we would be aging as well. In the RLD there are some really nice girls now, just not as many as a few years ago. I have never had a bad session with one of the asian girls. Most will give you a 5 minute massage and actually act like they care if you are enjoying yourself. Same with the latin girls, but I have never seen many latin girls in the main RLD, mostly in the Singel area. The Dutch ladies are always very pleasant, but understand that time is money.
I have been to Bianca and it is true she is very nice, but I would not say it is better than Park 118 and is more expensive. As for Park 118, yes it is probably the best deal in town if there is a girl to your liking at the time you are there. Usually there is. Rosa, the large Latin girl is really fun, she is not a stunner, but she really loves what she does. I have not tried the other Prives, but you will not go wrong at Park 118.
The Pijp, this is where Bianca is and the area is pretty small. The girls are nice, but not spectacular. Thay asked 50 euros, same as the other areas.
I do remember the prices in the Singel being 35 -50, with 35 being for the older ladies. The younger ones all asked 50, same as the main RLD.
Alkmaar- I was there one time about 10 AM and that definitely is not the time to be there. It was about 70% empty, but I will go in the evening sometime as I liked the feel of the place, everything is in one area and less hectic than the RLD in Amsterdam.
I read in an earlier post that the prices are now 50 E, same as in Amsterdam. Can anyone confirm this has happened? The prices wre posted on little signs at 35 E in April.
Uetrech ( sp? ) is a lot of fun. Take the train taxi from the station, you have to wait a few minutes and usually share a ride, but it is about 6 Euros I think. They know where the boats are.
I walked the boats and near the end was a real nasty looking older Italian lady (35 - not real old, but not a 22 year old ). I usually try to pick the models and I will honestly say that I do not recommend doing that as MOST of the time, not always, it will be a very poor experience. So, back to the nasty older Italian. She did not speak on word of English and I , not more than 10 words of Italian. Well, she was unbelivable in any thing you can think of. She took me to her little bathroom and washed my ***hole and then proceeded to lick that area for 10 minutes, then greek with her and I stayed for one hour for 200nlg, then about 80 usd . So , I have not been to the boats more than once, but I know I will go back!
Den Haag- It was really bad! It was daytime, but I never saw any areas where there wre good looking anything. The area to the left of the staion is the worst, the area to the right was better, but not anything like the RLD in Ams or the boats. I think maybe I missed the better area in Den Haag, but I did go to three areas. In Amsterdam, you have better choices.
I would love to hear from the posters if things are the same or better today. I will be in Holland again soon and any new info is appreciated.
Holland is a great place and even if you have less than porn star experiences it is a great place to visit and enjoy!
I too would like some info on the current prices in Alkmaar. If its 50 euro now, then I'll skip the train ride and stay in Amsterdam. I
have had several good experiences in the Singel and I like it there because I don't make a habit out of looking for 10's on a looks scale. If she is pleasant looking with a decent body, thats fine. If she has a good attitude, then I am there. I was paying
30-35 euros in the Singel last March. I also found some very cute Asian window girls in the main RLD for 30 euro. Their attitude was great.
I was in Alkmaar in late July and the price was still 35 euro.It's possible that it has since gone up,but I'd be surprised.In any event,I strongly reccomend a visit especially if you like Eastern European girls.
I will be in A'dam mid-October. Can anyone recommend the better Prive huis in the city. I would like to get as much info as possible as I would like to try this as will as a club and the windows. I'm probably attempting more than I can handle but here goes. I diffently want to get with a Thai during this time, where will I find the best (beauty or figure).
Re the situation in Alkmaar during Oct 2002:
I was there a few months ago and the prices were, as AFI, states in the 35Euro range. The selection was also rather good with many East European girls.
But there have been recent reports of police raids in other Dutch cities that target illegal East European workers. Can anybody confirm whether Alkmaar was/is affected by this? Is there still the same number and range of Eastern European beauties as there used to be? or has the number declined now due to the stricter controls on illegal immigrant workers?
Thanks...
On one of the dutchlanguage boards, I have read that girls in Alkmaar are now asking 45 Euro. Whether this
is all of them or not, I don't know. But a trick a lot them pull is to say they have no change. I know I was recently (last week) asked for 50, but I negotiated
125 for 45 minutes. Last week, there was about 70-80 girls I think, most are from
eastern europe and south america. The best time is about 10pm-2am, as this is when there are
more girls behind windows. As for the prices, I'm not entirely convinced the girls have control
over how much they can charge (or at least for the minimum). I know in 2000 there was a change from
50 NLG to 75 NLG, and I believe the people who control that street arranged it. However, most of
the girls there do not have a verblijfsvergunning which means they are a prime target for authorities.
Recently in Amsterdam there was a lot of Bulgarians and Romanians rounded up, and they have been
deported. Many working as street prostitutes, but also pimps, gangs, etc. In Amsterdam you can
find a LOT more nice looking girls, and there the east europeans are legitimate since they must have
EU passports or residency cards to be able to rent a kamer. An alternative to main area and the
singel, is the Pijp district near Albertcuypstraat. Most dutch guys go here. For value for money, you
could always try a club like Vienna, where you get much better rooms (double bed with jacuzzi
and air conditioner!), a much more relaxed and inclusive experience - If you don't like any girl there
you can leave, and you don't pay anything.
Groetjes.
Hy Guys,
I would like to receive some more information on the gangbang night at Paradise Club i. Is it still on Thursday nights?.
Thks
Yes, it is still on Thursday nights. Can be anything up to 50 guys or more there. You will need to get the ferry behind Centraal Station over to Noord-Amsterdam, as that is where the Paradise Club can be found.
ok,
still on the bangnight
how many girls? and their quality?
Can you get there by taxi from the central station?
thks
i'll be there in two weeks.
thks freeler,
do you think that paradise is the best place for that kind of night or others are better.
How many girls are there usually?
bye
Well I was at Paradise for the gang bang night on Thursday last May. I was alone there but I can assure you there will be a really good atmosphere, everyone fucking everywhere in the club. As I noticed there were about 5 professional girls there and a lot of guys, everyone waiting for his turn to fuck. One of the girls, a blonde was really hard fucking and sucking everone around. Highly recommended to go even if you just observe, have a dring or watch a porno.
I think there's also a gangbang night at the showboat club, or something like that. Never been, I don't go in for that, but I heard it is beter than Paradise in someways.
