BOBI WINE BACK TO AMSTERDAM TO MEET HIS LGBT ASSOCIATES

Many people wonder why “Bobi Wine” has profound love for Amsterdam and not any other city in the world. There are two spectacular things about Amsterdam that will always attract Bobi Wine to this City. Just like they say, “Old habits die Hard”.
