Yeah, I know what you mean. I know some people in Amsterdam who I visit from time to time and they always show me great parts which aren't invaded by tourists. Last year one of them took me on a tour to the 'Negen Straatjes' part (which I loved, of course). At one point (when we were heading back for her home) we had to cross the Kalverstraat and she was really like: 'okay, let's get that Kalverstraat over and done with, I hate it' an we both 'fought' our way through the crowds. Amsterdam, our very own touristic jungle...
