A. Sheesh. How can anyone check for ID when you book the room? Seriously, think about it.
Of course they check ID when you check in. All hotels do. They want to match the ID to the credit card. They always check mine.
Sorry, kid, you'll just have to wait.

What is the legal drinking and smoking age in The Netherlands?
Q. I also want to know how much a flight from D.C. to The Netherlands would cost including a passport and a standard hotel for about a week or 2.
A. Drinking age - 16 for beer and wine under 15% proof (alcohol content) and 18 for 15% and over e.g. spirits
Smoking - 16 to buy cigarettes and 18 to buy marijuana (not legal actually but tolerated under given conditions such as being 18)
ID checks are the norm (unless you are obviously old enough) and by law every person over 14 in the Netherlands (including tourists) have to have have official ID (passport, driving licence etc) on them at all times to show upon police request. Therefore a "I forgot" or a fake college card won't be accepted either
As for the cost - well it really depends on when you come and how far in advance you book (usually the further in advance the cheaper). I will give you a rough indication for Nov 2009 and the sites so you can check for yourself. Take into account about $100 a day on average spending, and the cost of a passport (assumuing you are American) is here http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/fees/fees_837.html
Flights from DC to Amsterdam flying out on 03/Nov and returning 10/Nov then the cheapest is $737.79 with KLM. http://www.skyscanner.net
Hotel prices vary massively depending on what kind of accomodation you prefer. Assuming you want cheap and are happy with a hostel then using the same dates as above then 7 nights would cost you $20-25 per night in a dorm and $30-40 in a private room. Again you can check for yourself here http://www.hostelworld.com
EDIT - Well I haven't returned from the Netherlands (because I am still living here!) and unless the drinking age has been changed without it being announced in the national newspapers or TV channel news, then I assure you that the drinking age has not been changed to 20
The only thing I can think of is that there has been a misunderstanding by the person below. From this year on then people purchasing alcohol and tobacco have to show ID to purchase if they are below 20. This is the official site http://www.noggeen20.nl/ (in Dutch). You can see a confirmation of what I said about the age limits based on alcohol content here and this is the official site from the Ministry of Health, Welfare & Sport http://www.minvws.nl/en/themes/alcohol/default.asp

How long should i switch on my air purifier?
Q. My room is 3.5m by 5m and roughly 2.5m in height. My air purifier is roughly the height size of a standard hotel toilet bowl. How long should i switch it on for sleep each night? I sleep in an air-conditioned room where the air-conditioner is turned on at 9pm and i wake up at 6am. My air purifier is one that comes with an ionizer function. I am asking as my air purifier is as noisy as an aircraft carrier and i am hoping to swtich it off after the least time possible for it to carry out its function. Thanks!
Hi, the brand is AMCOR. I have taken apart the machine and cleaned everything possible. There is one general filter that I have replaced with a new general filter. The next layer is the âforeverâ filter that need not be cleaned. Running the machine with everything taken apart, I have found out the sound is caused by the running of the motor. The model is outdated so it is not listed on AMCORâs site.
I have attached a picture too, http://www.flickr.com/photos/24243779@N00/213520842/

A. your air purifier should run all the time. But if its making alot of noise it may need to be cleaned. Is there a manual that came with it? Look to see if there are any filters that need to be replaced - number one cause of air purifiers making noise they have been clooged up. Some now have "forever" filters that can simply be rinsed off once in a while is it a permanent filter? If so , it should state that. Go to the manufacturer web site too, they will have specifics on it or an 800 number to call.
If you list those specifics we can help you more. also the brand type.
