this is a bit last minute, but uhm, anyone have any
eclectic recommendations for things to see/do in amsterdam?
i'm in town for twenty-some hours before i catch my
connection. i'll be back here later this month, but for now
i just have today.. my internet cafe time will run out in 20
mins so prompt replies will be appreciated!

get as stoned as is humanly possible ;o)

But on a more serious note, the canabis museum is quite cool

aha, so, the day i was there (you people didn't tell me!)
was a part of an electronic music festival called "5 days
off" and it was warp night! so i saw chris clark, dj ned and
james lidel at this nightclub called 'milkweg'.. i met this
cool dutch couple, the girl knew the bartenders and kept
getting us free heinekens. chris clark played an awesome,
awesome set of all new material only to tarnish it with a
disappointing 'diesel raven' that was EXACTLY like the cd
version.. i saw him pop a cd in and basically tweak the
equalizer.. that's it. DUTCH PEOPLE ARE AWESOME, very nice
and friendly, tho they don't dance, unfortunately....

the stedelijk museum was nice. its main location is closed
for rennovations, so the collection has been temporarily
moved to this nondescript office building appropriately
located in the middle of a busy construction sight.. so the
entire visit was punctuated by a loud chatter of various
industrial machines buzzing away and moving outside the
windows, which went very well with the modern art.. the
collection itself was a bit disappointing, but my
understanding was that a lot of it isn't present due to the
renovations. the reijksmuseum, unfortunately, was also
closed for renovations but i went for a nice walk in the
adjacant park. ended the 27 hour marathon with a long walk
in the rain back to centraal station through the rather
surreal red light district.

all in all an amazing city.. looking forward to spending
more time there in the future.

the no-dancing could be because as a people we hate the
funk.

i had a good time when i went. this girl paid the trip and
everything coz she didn't want to go alone..... :) i tried
really hard not to shag her.

i'm drinking an amsterdam navigator atm, not the nicest of
beers but not bad considering the percentage in it...

yeah but she was going out with a really good friend at the
time, and even though i could see her coming, i'm really
glad i hung on... the first day we took all these herbal
pills we were bying in allsorts of shops and the problem is
they made me well horny.... i will always remember her
touching my feet in bed and i'm like trying so hard....

to this day though i am still quite chuffed, and i can
still lokk at my mate in the eye... dunno where the hell
she went to though!¨ hehe, back to canada i think...
