SOoo.. im not actually in groningen anymore, but things happen and there just isnt time for this.. im currently in berlin waiting for ken to arrive to go try nad watch the oilers game.. game 7 baby.. who would've thunk!
So.. people probably want to know about our adventures.. well there's been a couple as of now..but im not gonna share them with anyone.. well i would if i could remember them, and remember what i told you last time.. my immagination isnt too high right now, we went on a tour of berlin, hahaha i just realized i titled this groningen.. ya thats this tiny town up norht in holland, basically a college town, 70000 people 50000 students, you do the math and you end up with good times. its about 2.5 hours north of amsterdam, and our tour guide, a local decided to get us lost.. haha we met at the train station in amsterdam after a lot of nothing and went to our platform to wait for our train.. we had 10 min, so chris and i went off looking for food.. i found a crocket, delicious! he found something else.. a sausage bun or something like that, o ya you buy them from vending machines.. its ridiculous i ahve a picture and will figure it out later to show all you.. we head back up and look for our train.. then our gracious guide figures out that we're at teh wrong train.. haha now we're running to the other side of the platform to catch our train that is now just pulling away from the station.. haha so we sat there for 10 min waiting for our train that was on the other side of the platform only to end up missing it.. this ment we would be late for the holland football game at 6pm.. not a good thing.
The next train was in 30min, and ofcourse chris was still hungry so we got some authentic dutch cuisine... pizza hut.. we made our train, and as we all went out hte night before to some local club/carnival that cost 30 euro cents to piss we were all drained.. and seeing as we spent the day doing nothing.. no energy for any of us... we passed out on the train.. now getting abruptly woken is a fantastic thing, especially when you have to grab three bags and a sweater and run out of the train to another one.. but wait its not another one.. why are we switching carts? apparently trains like to split up and go their seperate ways too.. so now theres NO room anywhere.. im squished between two inflatable bikes and a few dutchman.. and my bags.. sweet, perfect place to catch up on the 3 hours of sleep i had the night before.. haha.. o well what can you do..
we enter farm country, its amazing that their are 16million people in holland and just hours of stretches where you see nothing but farmland, where to the people go??? I know... the bars to watch football games.. now we arrived late so we were running, literally to go to the city center of groningen to find a bar and start chanting HUp Hup holland and doing a little jiggy i can only act out..
now i dont know what the bars are like there for the oilers run, but i highly doubt they come close to comparison to these bars.. no room anywhere.. people sitting on the bar, standing on the tables.. filling up all possible fire exit routes,, really quite safe, we finally find our spot.. 4 bars later, we're upstairs over looking the downstairs, which is just packed with hollanders transfixed on the tv screens, ALL wearing orange, everything you can imagine.. just incredible.. so we're watching the game.. holland score, i believe it was van persie! see i know my shit.. place just errupts.. and i mean errupts men kissing men.. men kissing men.. whoops. you know what i was looking at! haha.. no just kidding.. no im not.. haha ya fucking, whoops no other way to describe it.. im jumping around chris is jumping around everyone is.. impossible not too.. then the songs start.. what the hell? i dont even know how to describe these songs.. imagine a carnival when ur 2.. now if u can think of the possible music, make it dutch and you got it.. and EVERYONE is singing along.. haha.. and doing a little shake with the hands.. amazing.. at half time we got served complimentary weiners with dijon mustard, just grab one from the dude with the huge silver trey and dip ur weiner in.. haha so good.. holland won 2-1 on van neisteleroi? i think i just committed suicide with that spelling.. but o well.. anyways the game finished and we headed to finally drop our shit off.. get showered up, it'd been a while and head out on the town.. more carnival music.. ok i gotta finish this later oilers game.. GO OILERS GO!!!!!! ya.. groningen was SICK.. no tourists either.. best place!
Cheers all.. you'll get part 2 later..
