I really don’t know what to say other than it was awesome, and the five days was four days too many. Seriously, I’m at a loss for words and totally burned out.
But I will tell you this: If you ever make it to Amsterdam do not, under any circumstances stay at the Whiite Tulip (Yes that’s how it’s spelled) hostel in the Red Light District. It was dirty, it was dingy, it was creepy, it was loud (it was over an Irish bar) and I think that Oscar the Grouch was staying in the room next door. It was bad, but then I got stoned so everything was okay; until one of the girls caught the owner going through our bags. Seriously just avoid.
I am also waiting to hear some of y'all’s (I go to school with a ton of southerners) Halloween stories. I feel like I totally missed the holiday this year. My Halloween consisted over getting really stoned wandering about Amsterdam “looking for Halloween” finding the Dungeon Ride (like a haunted house type of thing), having the shit creeped out of us by some dude in a costume outside and being told that a private party was going on which we could pay 40 euros to get into—not the 6 I was planning to spend on a ‘haunted tour.’ I suggested the next best thing—going to the torture museum—and got quickly shot down. That was the extent of—what in America is—a great holiday.
The Red Light District was a freak-show all of its own. I remember walking into it during my first twenty minutes in the city on the first night trying to find the hostel and being greeting by a sketchy guy who came up to me and said, “Hello, welcome to Amsterdam,” and then as I nodded and kept walking and he hisses at me, “The best coke. The best ecstasy.” That same drug dealer accosted me several times during the trip, it was REALLY creepy. The place is pretty crazy.
I’ll try to write more as I remember it latter on, but seriously guys, what’s new?

Amsterdam is in fact a ridiculous place. On a more serious note, I also go to school with a ton of southerners, and Mike, my man, you're gonna have to learn how to spell y'all if all y'all over there in Europe are gonna try and use it. That said, it is still a great word that I have long been a fan and user of. Living in the south has only made my comfort with the term even greater.
haha yea i tried to use spell check on it, i guess microsoft has let me down... again.
