That explains! Otherwise there is nothing "must" in Birmingham or in the entire state of alabama, except get the hell out.

From Desi's POV, skip Birminghan, go to Amsterdam instead (want to know more about Amsterdam, check out the youtube).

Thanks folks,
Yeah, I meant Birmingham UK[sorry should have been clearer]. It was an absolute joy to visit the "City of Culture". Very vibrant and young crowd!
Desi, Have been to Amsterdam already, - I highly recommend it!
