Here we are, the naughty city. We flew in to Edinburgh on Sunday at around 5:30 and then had to take a taxi to the train station to catch a train to Amsterdam. The train ride was about an hour and went through the Netherlands country side. It was interesting seeing the farms, there was even some soybeans that I recognized. Once in Amsterdam we t...

We ended up watching the EuroCup game at The English Pub surrounded by a bunch of Spain fans. Lots of fun. And the ladies room was clean and had tp the entire night! Our bartender Helena was very nice, although her co-worker seemed to hate us (or maybe just Andrew...I couldn't tell) We basically hung out there the whole night, drinking some kind...

So couple things to add. 1) Its the Great Smoke Out here at the hostel (not smoke in as my previous post mentioned.) 2) Andrew wanted me to say that he was impressed by the amount of "corrugated metal siding"used on the houses and buildings in Reykjavik. We just got in from our post-dinner roam about town. (The 2,50€ pasta sauce we found wa...

Woke up this morning to the kid who had been sleeping on the floor trying to stand up by way of the rail on the bed next to my head. After teetering there for a while, he went and relieved himself in the room's sink (better than the floor, so I can't complain). He then tried to crawl into a bed on the other side of the room that wasn't his. Oddl...

Walking through the city this morning was amazing. I was out and about as people were getting ready to open stores and shops. The calm of the city at that hour is incredible and a perfect addition to the beauty of all the canals and streets. Everyone here bikes and their ability to dodge and weave on the bikes is just outstanding!! Its fun to se...

We are planning on leaving in the early morning tomorrow to go meet Andrew's friend for the day, so in planning ahead, I decided it would be better to go all out last night instead of tonight so that I would be fine to travel tomorrow. Thanks to my over doing it last night I spent the vast majority of today sleeping and having a "recovery day." ...

After a nap, a beer, and a good dinner of cheat pasta and sauce, Andrew and I, along with our new friends Amanda and Lili went off to the Anne Frank house. While a very sobering experience, it was completely worth while. Things like that definitely make you think twice about the way you live your life and how you treat others. Upon leaving the m...

Amsterdam was beaaaauuuutiful. Re-affirmed my post-graduation plans of living with Mandy for a year. I went to the Van Gogh museum for the second time and it still impressed/entertained me as much as it did the first time. Went to the Sex Museum for the first time. It was...graphic, kind of enlightening (people have been and always will be VERY ...

WOW!!! If you thought New Orleans was sketchy or that Las Vegas was shady, you obviously have not been to Amsterdam. For those of you who have been here, you know that it is the craziest and strangest city in the world and while I'm glad to have experienced it, I'll be happy to get out of here in the morning. No need to go into graphic detail. I...

Amsterdam is a fairly small city (less than a million) with a big atmosphere, very relaxed (possibly something to do with all those drugs) and picturesque. We got off to a poor start at a hostel that gave us the wrong beds and then refused to sort it out, but then moved to the best hostel we've stayed at so far (flying pig palace). The city is a...

today i checked out the hotel, and checked into a hostel , the flying pigs. this place is wicked sweet (thats right i said it). i kinda played lazy today, got settled into my room, met the ppl in my room, went for a walk and found a post office, did some window shopping,.. actually i went back to the red light district to find the condom store, ...

Okay... So I figured I'd start this thing because at the moment I have nothing better to do, and I keep sending the same stories to different people and type them out too many times.. SO.. instead I'll give this webpage out to everyone to read about my crazy adventures. Alright.. so on the 15th of September (saturday) we landed in Amsterdam at 1...
