a nightlife-MUST is Paradiso (near Leidsplein). other good clubs are Club 11, Melkweg or Escape.
a nice place for a picknick or a walk is the Vondelpark.
best shopping places are Kalverstraat and the markets at Waterlooplein and Albert Cuyp Straat.

Personal comments
For supermarket go to Aldi or Dirk. For celular phones don't use vodafone since it is the most expensive company. For bank use ABN Amro it has few taxes and internet banking. Avoid shopping in the center (near Centraal Station) because it is quite expensive.
