Channels forum

Rookies. I had a semi whitey and the staff were very helpful until I regained the ability to find my way back to where I was staying.

Thanks for the report. I am learning some new language along with knowledge of your trip. I may have to ask for translation of some parts. Peace!

The bombing has started. I remember on 9-11 my reaction was I wonder how many people will die before this is done. I still do not know the answer to that question and now another ramp up of military action. I get so tired of all of the hatred. The military have made the choice to get involved so let...

Thank you everyone for the information. I love how despite some negative vibes regarding the viability of this forum a group of Channels people are still willing to be helpful.

Thanks for the info. I better stay away from the holy water I might get burned!

I would like to know if distilled water is readily available in Amsterdam and Haarlem? I did not need this knowledge during previous trips and never noticed. Also if available where can it be purchased? Thanks cpap is a pain in the a** but it has helped me a lot.

I hope you made it home okay after the weather in Colorado during your return.

Hi everyone! I have met several of the old timers here. I just renewed my passport and it got me thinking about channels. I have not been to the Netherlands for over 5 years now but I am planning a trip sometime this year. I would love to meet up with some of the people I met at the 10th anniversary...

I enjoyed your trip reports. It has been several years since I have made the trip to Amsterdam and Haarlem and your reports bring back the memories. I was also at the 10 year anniversary and have my tshirt ready for the next trip!

Thank you. Your report makes me feel I am there.

I will not be able to make the trip this year. I hope that the friends I have met through Channels will have a great time and post lots of trip reports. Fire one up for me. Peace

Thanks for the report. I will always remember you as a skilled mat roller. May our paths cross in mokum once again. Peace

Thanks for sharing. Your enjoyment of Amsterdam is evident in your writing. Peace to you and yours.

Thank you FBN. Your continued reports with photos are a great help to me when I am going through Mokum withdrawal.

Hello everyone. I am getting ready to head to the airport. I am looking forward to meeting everyone saturday at the anniversary party. I will post some type of trip report while I am there. I always plan to report but get caught up in Amsterdam partying. Oh well Amsterdam promises. Peace

It sounds like you wil be sampling alot of what Amsterdam has to offer. Have loads of fun and I look forward to meeting you and everyone else on the 26th.

Nice photos, thanks. It seems like alot of the early shots did not have many people. I was wondering if you planned it that way or if the euro exchange rate had made for less people?

Thanks for posting. When the world gets shitty sometimes remembering Amsterdam in April always brings a smile to my face. May we all meet again.

Thanks for the pics. I really love the feel of the canals in your photos. I could spend a very long time just smoking and contemplating things while sitting on a canal bench. Nirvana

I made the same mistake.

Thanks for the report. The Coin is a favorite of mine with the Coin Special hash being one of my best buys. Have fun!

Well yesterday was a fun day.I spent the day wandering around and stopped by Dekuil once again.Had a good meetup that night at 7:00 at Old Church. Still the best seats in town but watch out for the prices. For the cost of a couple of orange juices you could make a good down payment on a prostitute n...

Yesterday I went to the Heineken Experinence. It is not really all that but you do get three short beers and a free bottle opener at the end of the tour. Also they have a couple of neat areas where you can DJ or send an email home showing you having fun and singing along with folks singing in dutch....

Hi everyone. I started my trip missing my connection in houston and arriving in Schiphol 4 hours late. Man I was pissed till I spent the down time drinking Amstel Lights and watching the Giants take one in the sports bar at George Bush International. Kinda strange place with a giant cutout of Terry ...

I understand what you are talking about not wanting to take pictures and just enjoy yourself. It is really great to walk around, soak in all the sights and sounds and absorb the vibe. It sounds like you had alot of fun, thanks for sharing your experiences.

I know what you mean about the Amsterdam vibe. It hit me the first time I sat down in a coffeeshop and fired one up. Just sitting there smoking and watching people go by I got what I can only describe as a revelation. The feeling that this is how life should be. No one looking to throw me in jail fo...

Hey chig.I am heading over to sensei later if you fancy a meetup.I go home tomorrow.peace

I agree with Sam Clemens "Golf; a good walk ruined" PaXXX Actually Bo, I have to tell you Sam and you have it all wrong. Golf isn't about the game of golf. Golf is the excuse to be able to have the chance to spend 4-5 hours with your closest friends without interruption. I hear ya.The sam...

Although it was not in the Netherlands I would like to remark on European anti american feelings from my own perspective.This past june I was in Munich on vacation.I was waiting on my ride in an empty parking lot outside of a theater.I had spent some time listening to a homeless guy ramble on in fre...

Hey Purperen.Thanks for the company watching football.Ah watching sports while partaking of some fine cannabis.
