Another great find from my favorite travel guide: Here's Holland (www.heresholland.com). If you're hankering for a night out on the town but you don't speak or understand Dutch, the best place to go for a night of laughs is Boom Chicago, an improvisational show -- all in English -- run by Americans. It's located on one of the main, 'anything goes' squares in Amsterdam -- Leidseplein.

Show titles for 2008 include: 'Last One to Leave the Planet, Turn Off the Lights'; 'Screw the Planet... Save the Oil!'; and in October/November, what else but 'Bye Bye Bush!'. Trust me, it's a real hoot, and not to be missed. Dinner is also available before the show if you want to keep life simple. Have fun!
