During the trip she talks to 22 experts. Jerzy Gawronski, Amsterdam city archaeologist, is introduced as ‘the man who knows everything about the history of the city’. According to Sophie, drug expert August de Loor has ‘seen everything’ and the American writer/ historian Russell Shorto receives praise: ‘Anyone interested in history and liberalism should read his books’. ‘Gedogen’ can’t simply be translated for the American tourist who does not know the middle between equal and unequal. ‘Technically illegal, but officially allowed’ is what the app makes of it.
