Yeah, LH, be sure that you keep the I.O.U. for my super space cake. I am really embarrased, but I just ran out of time and I didn't have a chance to make it for you before you departed. Upon your next arrival, I'll have one waiting for you at my place. That way you can enjoy the view and a cake that...

I have never had the space cake from Chocolata, but I can say that the bon bons do wonders. I really like the dark chocolate version that they make, one or two of those will have me ready for blastoff in short order. T:minus 10 minutes and counting... Dannymac, it was great meeting you and I enjoyed...

A gentleman never tells. Where did this notion that you are a gentleman come from? Despite the fact that other inquiring mind want to know I can't really see what sharing that particular details would have to offer. Personally, I think that this information is far better discovered on ones own. Aft...

We were a little worried about you buddy. I guess that the combination of travel, lack of real food and quality sleep, the beer, and the buds all caught up with you at once. But it looks like you fought through it with flying colors. Sorry I ended up missing the crawl. I had to got out to Arnhem to ...

I have to hand it to you Banks, this is one of the best trip reports that I have read in quite a while. Normally, I don't spend too much time reading this part of the forum while at work, but I ended up setting some time aside today just for this one. Great detail, and the fact that you are talking ...

I don't really think that falafels are particularly bad, but they might have been the culprit in your case. I eat them all the time and I never have a problem, but you might have gotten one from a dodgy shop. Maybe it was the fact that you were eating something for the first time and you might have ...

I have been living here for two and a half years and I never have had any problems with the water. Actually, when I first moved over I found a ranking of water quality and the Netherlands was ranked in the top five, behind most of the Scandinavian countries. If something makes you ill, I would be wi...

Brunoost is a brown goats cheese that is particular to Norway and a few parts of Sweden. It is usually served with breakfast and has a slightly sweet taste to it. It is very high in iron; and I believe that the numeric designators with the name have to deal with the iron content. My Norwegian friend...

No worries, it was really no problem to make it down to the Kadinsky. I ended up meeting cbs77 and his buddies there later in the day. He was running a bit late as they had some problems finding a hotel for the evening. But he more than made up for being late by bringing some great brunoost from Nor...

Progress, sorry I didn't see your post until 2:45 today. I was at the Kadinsky at 3 and I guess I must have missed you. I did introduce myself to another young guy thinking that it was you. I guess that I just ended up looking slightly silly when it wasn't. Anyway, I realize that in my previous post...

How about joining me, cbs77, and a couple of his other friend on Saturday afternoon at the Kadinsky Cafe. It is the location with the bar on the Zoutsteeg, just a bit north of Dam Square in between the Damrak and the Niuewendijk. We will just be hanging out and chilling with a smoke and an adult bev...

So does this mean that there is no point in checking out the rental next Tuesday? If not, I'' keep my eye out for other places. I might have a line up for you. Details to follow...

This would be the good time to start a discussion: Would you rather have more frequent trips by budget spending or save up until you can go hog wild?" Personally, I really depends on where I am going. I think that Amsterdam by its very nature lends itself to a more budget approach. You can go sever...

Sorry I missed you guys at De Kuil last night. An unforeseen circustance at work meant that I had to play tour guide for a former colleague who is making his last trip to Amsterdam with the company. I ended up just stopping by very briefly around 22:00 but it looked like everyone had already departe...

A good triple bock? I thought that there is only one triple bock out there. Is there something else than the Sam Adam's?

DedBud, sounds like you are having a great time so far. If you still haven't hooked up with shrooms yet, I might suggest the SmartZone in the RLD. My flatmate works there 4 days a week so if you stop by when Dwight (the Surinames black guy) is working (Tuesdays, Thursdays sometimes Fridays and Sunda...

I feel your pain about trying to type on the various euro-style keyboards. Whenever I am Germany I always end up with all these z's where my y's should be and funky dots and hats on all my letters. The French keyboards are even worse... I am looking forward to meeting up with you guys when I get bac...

Great shots guys! I'd love to see more of your other photos. Have you guys got an FTP site set up?

"lit" indeed! OMG you guys are smokers and tokers! Great report! BTW does anyone know what the "Kantil" in Kantil en Tiger means? and exactly how does "Ballontje" translate and what is the meaning? Just wondering. Pax Well I did a bit of research into this (read looked on the net and asked my Dutch...

YAY! Feel free to make me an internet celebrity. Post 'em!

I am looking forward to checking the site out.

Normally when I make a 8 gram hash cake, I don't let people eat more than one slice. It is usually pretty hard because the cake tastes so damn good, but 45 minutes to an hour later they thank me as they are off to la la land. Next time you might want to pace yourself a bit better, you can have more ...

I'd love to meet up with you when you get back to the Dam after the 31st. I am still stuck traveling back in the States and it doesn't look like I will be getting back home until after you leave for Brussels. But after you are done, it should be time for some fun!

cheers,

I actually enjoy finding the mystery weed that you can't quite remember where it came from or what it is. Having "more" weed is such a pleasant predicament. Plus, it is fun to play cannabis detective and try to deduce from where the unknown strain came from. Or you can go with my friends approach wh...

Good to have you back guys! I really feel your pain about the dial up connection

"Never again is what I swore the time before"

I am really looking forward to your reflections on your trip this time around and I can't wait for you to be a pain in our keesters again.

Cheers,

I was chatting with Anty yesterday and they managed to move into their new place, but it is still a bit unorganized. You know how it goes with everything in boxes and the rest of everything strewn about... Right now their only net access is on dial up and that drives them crazy! But they have all so...

I don't think that confuzn and Anty in Florida are back online yet. While they were here, they mentioned that they had to move after right after they got back from their trip. I don't think that they have managed to get good connectivity installed yet, so they are out of comission for a bit. But I a...

As far as the chocolates go, you might also want to try Unlimited Delicious. They are right up the street from the Internet City location nearby Centraal Station. A quick walk down the Haarlemerdijk on your way to Barney's and you will pass it on the right side of the street. As good as or better th...

Nogbin, It is a shame that you had to leave Friday morning. I tried to meet up with you at De Kuil on Thursday, but I was a work late and by the time I arrived there you had already departed. I was looking forward to having another game of chess and a smoke. What did you do with your stash this time...

You can even use strippenkart on trains! If there is tram or metro service between the train stations you can simply stamp the same number of zones as if you were riding the tram but board the train instead. You can use this in places like Amstel or Duivendrecht Muiderpoort etc... Just so you know!
