back in business

....im so happy that i feel i don't fit into this small room, im so happy that i cant sit in one place and im so happy that i feel i could grow wings and fly and go though the walls and fire and move the mountains!

... it's all about environment! feng shui, im telling you!

**************************************************************************************************

Van Gogh, Remrandt, Anne Frank, Richard Avedon, Robot Elektra, boats and bikes, weed and coffee shops, graffiti, Madame Tussaud, Dam Square, Red Light District, prostitues and pimps, crackheads and stoners, hippies and businessmen, cheesecakes and cheese, books and cafes, supercomfy Schipol Airport, and lovely people with funny language with exclamation mark (!) at the end of every sentence- these are just some things i experienced on my short trip to Amsterdam.

Pictures and stuff will follow. Tomorrow. Still tired today, but Happy. Yes.

Peace and Love~!

10 things to do in Amsterdam

1 CULTURE FIX
You either love them or hate them, but with so many to choose from, there has to be a museum here for you somewhere.

2 CHILL OUT AT NEMO
When the sun’s shining, there’s nowhere quite like NEMO to relax while you catch some rays. Designed by famous architect Renzo Piano and home to Amsterdam’s Science and Technology Centre (for when it’s raining), in the summer months the “deck” of the huge green “ship” turns into an outdoor terrace. This comes complete with big beanbags, DJs playing chilled tunes, table service, tapas-style snacks and a mini-beach. Could it get much better? Oh yes it could – there’s amazing views of the city too.

3 GET HIGH IN A COFFEE SHOP
Smoking cannabis isn’t legal in Amsterdam, but it has been decriminalised, which means you can walk into any coffee shop and buy up to five grams per visit. You’ll find a menu at the bar with descriptions like, “nicely stoned” and “psychedelic high”, handy if you don’t want to end up passing out after one toke. Staff are always happy to advise you, so don’t be afraid to tell them exactly what you’re after. Space cakes and shakes are also offered by many places – a good alternative to joints, but they take a while to kick in, so be patient!

4 BE A VIP AT THE TUSCHINSKI CINEMA
Situated on the not-so-beautiful Reguilerbreestraat, the Pathé Tuschinski is an amazing feat of Art Deco elegance.

5 HANG OUT IN THE JORDAAN
With its maze of narrow streets, 17th-century canal houses, rich history, listed buildings, quirky boutiques and bars, the Jordaan is one of Amsterdam’s most popular areas – not just with the artists and designers who frequent the district, but with people wanting to experience a true piece of Amsterdam.

6 SEE A GIG
It’s not often you can get so close to bands like The
Streets, The Roots, Jools Holland, Jurrasic Five, Willie
Nelson and Supergrass.

7 DISCOVER KNSM EILAND
Modern, hip and in stark contrast to the quaint canal houses the city is famed for, carry on past Centraal Station and NEMO until you get to the Brouwerij ‘t IJ.

8 SAMPLE SOME DUTCH DELICACIES
You can find just about any type of cuisine in Amsterdam; from Indonesian, French and Surinamese to Turkish, Spanish or Ethiopian. But if it’s real Dutch food you’re after, order a plate of borrelhapjes (bar snacks) and expect to get lumps of cheese, olives, bitterballen (deep fried balls coated in breadcrumbs, served with a mustard dip), kroketten (deep fried meat or cheese croquettes) and raw slices of meat – not such a good option for the veggies amongst you!

9 TAKE A TRIP OUT OF TOWN
Cycle 20 minutes along the mighty Amstel, to the south of the city centre, and find yourself surrounded by country estates, rolling green fields, families posing on boats of all shapes and sizes, and Dutch countryside that could easily have featured in one of Rembrandt’s paintings.

10 GO TO VONDELPARK
Walk five minutes away from Leidseplein and you’ll find yourself in Vondelpark – Amsterdam’s most popular green space.
