Anyone coming from southern Netherlands? I'll be taking the Heerlen > Alkmaar intercity train so would be cool to meet-up along the way.

On a serious note:
who cooks on a meet?

Or is it all take-out/ all fend for themselves?

Lol i heard about missing the flight, did you have to pay any fees? I'm not flying back till the monday, i should be awake by 9 at night though! First and last time i went there i chose the wrong day to experiment with their special kind of cakes out there though.. i somehow made it throughamsterdam and london airports without getting strip searched.. i was basically sleep walking.

Will you be getting your banana phone for out there?

Also did you check out the map i posted? I stayed near amsterdam central station last time so i only know that area, your hotels to the south west of the station about a mile away.

Oh yeah, THEY HAVE OUTSIDE URINALS OF A NIGHT, last time i went there, we went on a pub crawl trying to go in every one.

I looked at your little map, but all I see are girls, sex, drinks, sex, coffeeshops, sex and a mc donalds. There are going to be quite some young kids around, and also girl(s), so I don't think these places are very appropiate for the meet, and also would scare some people off. Of course if you want to go and eat a banana out of some girls p*ssy then you're very welcome to go and do that, but right now we're still looking at some nice & fun places to go that all of us would enjoy. If you have any other suggestions please let us know! ;)

For fuck's sake please do it three months later so I can show you guys all the good weed. I'm an expert in the field but I'm not eighteen yet, so I have others running my errands for me.

I swear, do it in June and you'll be grateful for the rest of your life.

Bleaugh forgot about the kids. Erm Casino's out too then.

I never really left that area that i have highlighted, what else is there? Feel free to put them on the map too :).

I went to one town on the tram, forgot where it was but they had an outside ice rink.

I weren't exactly pointing out places i expected people to go, but just giving people the option so they know whats there, i did put a marker on the museum :P, there was 2 mcdonalds, they were open all night from what i remember and were very handy so i thought i'd let people know of that. I pointed out my hotel and luis' hotel.

I thought the prostitutes was part of the culture :S, people of all ages and sexes walked past the windows, i even went past the shemale ones to see the sights, however ugly they appeared. Same with the coffee shops.. i don't do those kind of drugs but i went into the places to see what they were like.

I think i pointed out 2 areas of brothels, 1 sex show.. i didn't think that was bad going for what it was like in the area i stayed. Also pointed out a cheapish places to eat.

Another warning for new people.. some dodgy characters may come up to you on the street to try selling you drugs, do not buy off these people, the drugs are fake, more likely going to do more harm than normal drugs and are expensive.

Well I am Dutch and live in Amsterdam - it's definetely not part of our culture to walk by the prostitutes and go to those places (except maybe smoking pot ;). In general it's just tourists and drunken students (guys). I absolutely understand the appeal of those places - but as a girl I try to stay away from that area. I did mention a bar called Belushi's to Luis for a possible meet up, which is in the Redlight District, because you are right it is cheap there and tourists like it.

Further away from your map (but only 10-15 mins walking or 3 mins with a tram) are Rembrandplein and Leidseplein which have a ton of restaurants and bars as well, but are a little safer to be around and therefor I think more fun for all of us.. I don't think it's gonna be a problem to find bars at night. The only thing I still don't know is Saturday - there might be a lot of people, some aged 14 others 28, so I'm still thinking of places to meet up for that. I don't know of a place similar to let's see Namco like in London here.

Holy mother of cheese.
A 10 minutes trip to totally awesomeness!!
Maybe i'll come.

Are you OP coming to the Montreal Meet-up. I am setting Grand Rapids Meet you should come to that its on the 12th of December. Last Year it was just me and some strangers that went to the food court in the mall but it was a blast.

Leidseplein is where i went on the tram.. that weren't bad, pretty busy.

Belushis was the name i was looking for.. that weren't bad.

What's heineken experience?

Bowling alleys listed there... i'm not trying to be patronizing if you know all these places, just trying to do a bit of research while i'm snowed in off work today :P

Holy shit, you're coming to the Netherlands? Noted in calender, might make it.

I just checked my calender and I will most definitely be able to hang out at least one afternoon (evening as well if I can crash on somebody's floor in an hotel). Luis, I PMed you with some questions for details, get back to me and we'll set some shit up.

This is awesome.

Hmm I havent been keeping up on this thread. Okay so being that this is a NG meet and that i get to play Mother Hen I wanted to say this:

i love you all very much and would love to take care of you, but do realize that im on vacation just like you are and you need to like be well aware of what you do or dont do. That applies wether youre 14 or 24+

If you want to try acid-laced coke off a local hooker's ass crack thats great, its your choice and youre welcome to do as you please on your own. Only thing I request is that you use discretion.. if you are someone whos never done drugs or interacted with women then probably the 2 euro whore in t he red light district and your bag of crushed glass posing as coke is not something you want to be messin with... you have to decide that for yourself.

For the record, you always have the option to wander away if you feel like you need more risque entertainment/activities to suit your needs. I personally travel to see new places and meet more people. I may have a smoke or something but im not going to base my trip around laying in my flat/brothel dropping acid all 4 days or whatever. If thats your definition of a vacation, by all means get your moneys worth. Its kinda like when i goto Vegas with my friends, we go as a group but then kinda form sub groups, some of my friends spend the whole time at titty bars, some spend the whole time at the dealer tables, and then theres a few like myself who mostly do a mix of everything. We all have a vague idea of everyones agenda and if we feel like it we go wherever it is so-and-so is and join that group for a bit.

So that being said I'll plot out a general outline for what me and my goons are going to be doing, and if you want to synch up you'll know where we're at and when you want to wander away you obviously can.

The red light district only mildly attracts my attention.. we have sluts in dc who can probably do the same things for the right price so that idea isnt that groundbreaking to me. I'll probably stroll by for the sake of saying ive been there but meh.

I would like to goto a few clubs or what not so i'll weave that into the late night activities on one of the nights and i'll probably recommend those interested be dressed for the occasion. Theres always someone even in London that shows up with tattered jeans and sandals that gets turned away at the club, and then i feel like shit for abandoning them but what can i do....

That is usually where they are staying at the flat though and i guess you feel sort of like you have responsibility over them where you are in the same place as them :).

I think as you say, this is a vacation, London was good, but you had alot to organise, so i reckon celebrate your birthday again here!

I'm probably going to spend the daytime with my friend.. he's just recently tried cannabis so he's going to be like a kid in a candy shop cause there's like 20 different strains of weed on the menu.

I may smoke myself.. i may not, it depends how i feel, if i do decide i want to try it, it will most likely be on the first day (Thursday).

I want to take my friend to this banana place, it was funny and with the price of drinks the way they are out there, i want to fit alot of drinking time in there. 45 euros.. all you can drink for 1 hour.. i reckon i can fit in 12 drinks. I'll probably do that again, on the less busy day cause i don't want to be unsociable.

I'll walk around the red light district to have a gander, but if my friend wants to try it i'll let him, i've already done that, while it was an experience i think they felt rushed to get it over and done with so they could get the next customer in. Probably take him down there during the daytime where they don't feel as rushed and hell, it might even be cheaper.

Don't really feel like seeing the animal sex shows or any of the sex shows for that matter.

Won't mind doing some leisurely activities, seeing as it is my birthday weekend, but yeah, i'm most likely to be sitting with my friend(s) in a hotel room getting drunk during the day or in a coffee shop watching my friend smoke, unless there is an activity that attracts me.
