It's still worth going. I was quite surprised at the place, thinking it would be all young stoned hairy guys (and they are about). I was shocked to find the people were incredibly friendly, the streets clean, and the scenery alone worth the trip. We had a wonderful time there- the Jordaan is lovely and we ate lots of yummy food like Indonesian and dutch cheese (lots and lots of cheese). Oh, and they make their own gin and it is yummy. I would go back in a heartbeat. Whereabouts are you staying? We found a perfect studio apartment with kitchenette and a full shower in the Jordaan for 75 dollars (euros?) a night.
