Evil Genius Posted August 26, 2011 Hi Shoes, glad to see you around again. Enjoy your stay in munich and make sure to visit the Hofbräu House and the new Football Stadium the FC Bayern München built. Very nice Arena to watch matches in. Besides, munich is a very expensive place to stay so make sure to have a close look at your costs. Be careful in the UK because there is some local unrest going on in some places. But i assume they have it under control now. Maybe you can visit Amy Winehouses Apartment. Her father is giving away her shit to people on the street. That stuff would make a nice price on ebay in 30-40 years. Amsterdam is certainly a nice plaster...great redlight district and good laws on drugs. Maybe you can get some kratom at a local Smartshop. Be careful not to carry weed when you cross the german border. Customs are pretty agressive there and are also all over the trains. And you need to make sure not to drive under the Influence. bye Eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kee Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) You really think people are going to care about Amy Winehouse in 30-40 years ? What did she even do with her life other than get embarrassingly drunk and make public appearances? @shoes; Hope you have a FANNNNTASTIC trip! I'm heading to Europe next year (either on my own or with a bunch of friends). I can't WAIT! Edited August 26, 2011 by Kee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) Kee, apart from the fact that she was a drunk and a drugpig, she also was one of the most talented and genius singer/singwriters of our time. I really think its a sad thing she´s dead because there could have been a lot more great records. I really liked her sound a lot. bye Eg Edited August 26, 2011 by Evil Genius 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woof woof woof Posted August 26, 2011 Amsterdam,... I have been there many times. I used to live close bye (Haarlem and IJmuiden for 3 years) Culturally it's an awesome place. I like the history,... but you know,... history while stoned or tripping can be even more awesome hahaha. And I am not even kidding about that. Amsterdam has allot to offer. Being high all the time is boring if you ask me. (that's what I used to be,.... high all the time!) If you have the cash,... you can party like hell in A'dam. Plenty crazy fun to be had if you meet the right people. Sooo much drugs of every kind if you meet the right people... hahaha..... party a few days and take a few to come back down is my advise. owww,... btw,... the girls,... if you are a step to the plate kind of guy,... you will have plenty fun there too. For me it's at least 12 years ago,.. so much has probably changed,.. so cant tell you where to go..... meet people man,... and see who you want to hang out with,... be assertive and talk to the people that you think are your kind or know how and where to have a good time...... move fast,... dont hesitate!!!
