Well, my first day in Europe started, and ended on a exciting note. As I'm checking into my flight, putting my crap through security, something catches my eye. Sticking out of my lap top is a freakin Ak-47 round and Wes must have missed when he was cleaning out his backpack. I quickly grab the round, throw it away discretely, and pretty much crap my pants hoping that no more rounds were in the bag, otherwise I'm pretty sure I would have been diverted to Gitmo. But i passed through, our flight was delayed because of a curfew in effect in Amsterdam, I wasn't entirely sure. But the pilot was pretty damn funny and entertaining. I didn't sleep at all on the damn flight, I just watched a few movies, listened to some music, and was bored out of my mind. No problems at all going through customs, or finding the correct train to the city center. Pretty much everyone speaks english, its nice. I found my hostel through the tourist information center, meandered my way to it, and then proceded to wander through the city  for 5 hours. I never knew where I was, but I just walked everywhere, trying to find all of the cool sights that I'm going to visit tomorrow. This place rocks; cool architecture, nice cars everywhere, hot chicks everywhere. Oh, immediately after checking my bag at the hostel, some dude came up to asked if I wanted to go to a "coffee shop"; I declined. Just thought that was funny. I meandered through the Red Light District, holy crap, that is somethin else. To say the least. And I got soaking wet because its been raining sideways for the majority of the day. Welp, that is all.

Oh, my room mates are from Peru and Japan.
