What are some things I should check out in The Netherlands
 
Besides the obvious answer of weed coffee shops which don't allow foreigners in anyway.

:rockon:

pale_princess 05-07-2012 04:08 PM

killtrocity 05-07-2012 04:12 PM

I'm there right now. Pretty crazy.

Toby 05-07-2012 04:15 PM

why would they pass a law like that?

The whole world hates us (I assume they did it mainly to deter Americans)

MyOneAndOnly 05-07-2012 04:23 PM

get a bicycle and ride around the city. it's really easy to do and a lot of fun.

No, they did it to deter Germans and Belgians.

Utrecht looks like a cool city

memories_unwind 05-07-2012 05:48 PM

The best part of the Netherlands is the border to Germany. Go there.

I should have made a John Edwards troll...I feel like that avatar undermines the serious nature of all of my posts.

Toby 05-07-2012 06:29 PM

you should check out some legalized prostitution.

rottenugly 05-07-2012 06:34 PM

Me? Well OK I guess.

The Omega Concern 05-07-2012 06:39 PM

If Dadara is doing any exhibits, go. Drop Fyshe's name and that could be enough to get you in to the cool parties later.

cocksure 05-07-2012 06:47 PM

i remember an old nimrod post where he said weed "wasn't for him"

Travis Meeks 05-07-2012 06:49 PM

i remember an old post where Elvis the Fat Years said "cock wasn't for him." We all are wrong at times.

cocksure 05-07-2012 06:51 PM

the thing few people know about elvis the fat years is that most of his posts are actually pretty funny

i realise it's probably fairly obvious but...

the van gogh museum was amaze. the wheat field painting...

amsterdam has this reputation of being sin city but i think that sort of misses the point. it's a beautiful city with an incredible and accessible history and that was my favourite part. p.coll to be drinking in pubs that have been around since the 1600s.

frankly I found the red light district depressing, and smoking with friends in nice places (parks, old docks) was much more appealing than sitting in smelly old coffee shops.

Trotskilicious 05-07-2012 11:13 PM

van gogh can't truly be understood until you see his work in person

cocksure 05-08-2012 12:46 AM

it's the same with my shits

this has been implemented only in parts of the netherlands iirc. amsterdam should still offer you ample opportunities if you are so inclined

Cool As Ice Cream 05-08-2012 09:00 AM

yep, amsterdam should still be fine.

Sonic Johnny 05-08-2012 09:09 AM

Yeah a friend of mine was there like last week and from what I can tell he got rightly blazed.

Cool As Ice Cream 05-08-2012 09:15 AM

yeah but this law is only one week old. so maybe he was there just before?

Sonic Johnny 05-08-2012 09:28 AM

Maybe

Cool As Ice Cream 05-08-2012 09:36 AM

anyway, you should stay in your hotel room all the time. it's the best thing you can do while you're over there.

I was under the impression it goes national this year, and I probably won't be over there until the fall.

wHATcOLOR 05-09-2012 03:40 PM

da nizzo's or whatever it's called

yo soy el mejor 05-09-2012 03:51 PM

You`ll be able to get weed in Amsterdam this year, they`ll go national in 2013.

sppunk 05-09-2012 04:38 PM

I agree with the "go to Germany" post.

But yeah mercurial's suggestions are mine. You should get out of Amsterdam itself though, into the countryside. And get to Bruges.

Trotskilicious 05-09-2012 06:44 PM

that's in belgium

sppunk 05-09-2012 07:09 PM

Yes, but close and super easy to visit from Amsterdam. It's like you going to Dallas, but not having to deal with I35.

Trotskilicious 05-09-2012 07:09 PM

why would anyone want to go to dallas

Cool As Ice Cream 05-10-2012 02:44 AM

I wouldn't say Bruges is close to Amsterdam.

"If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me. But I didn't, so it doesn't."

Trotskilicious 05-10-2012 06:30 PM

ahahahahaha
