Holland has some of the best cities in the world. I love Utrecht and Amsterdam so much. Plus the Capital has one of the best vinyl markets at Utrechtstrasse. I bought a Duke Ellington double live LP for just 4 euros! They had lots of turntables at the store to try the used vinyls out but I said "come on...in the worst case I'll just hang it on the wall". And it sounds great too!

Aha super! Yea, we have still some good vinyl record stores in Amsterdam. I think this one you've been to is Concerto. Next time when you are in Amsterdam, also check Rush Hour. Boudisque is another one around for decades, not sure how good they are in vinyl these days.

I can't recall the name of the store but it had ground floor and basement as far as I can recall, kinda big with lots of turntables and huge collection of vinyls. Lovely city. Lively but not too noisy, neat but not neutral. I spent my birthday there 6 years ago and you had the warmest November ever. Almost +20C sunny days with cafes flooded by people soaking the sun. A friend called me and he thought I was still in Greece listening to all this crowd outdoors on the phone :) I couldn't be luckier.

WooHoo, you had the best experience of Amsterdam I think! Such weather at end of autumn is rare. That said, our major back then must have arranged something special for you with the weather gods hahaha I really like quite a few cities around the world, but I still have to find that one city I would exchange Amsterdam for. San Francisco I really liked, I would be able to live their for some time.

I did the same comment haha. It was like I took the weather with me from Athens :)
I've never been to the States but I'd love to. San Francisco must be so nice undoubtedly or at least excluding its high humidity and insane real estate prices.
