Netherlands day 2

Pablo and i took the 9:30am bus to Amsterdam. Its really cool. There are bikes everywhere. Every street corner, every coffee shop and every parking lot is covered with 1950s looking bikes. Needless to say, i almost got run over at least 3 times.

We met David Frew, Des, and a friend of theirs at a small little coffee shop (an actual coffee shop). Its so weird seeing David in not pymble.

After that we wandered throughout the city and even went past the red light district. It was only 12, but prostitutes were already getting started by posing in front of giant glass windows.

We eventually ended up going to a "go museum" which featured a lot of modern art. I'm not much of a fan for art (unless its made out of bottle caps), but I found it a pretty interesting experience.

After that we went to a pub selling local beer only. Holy crap the beer here is great. So strong and flavorful. Goodbye V.B, I've got a new favorite beer. Its called "brouwerij'tij".

Lastly, to end the day we went into another coffee shop (no, not a proper coffee shop). I said the magic phrase "I would like one weed please", and we spent the last hour chilling out upstairs. I don't really like the effects of weed too much. Its kinda like instant jet lag in a cigarette.
