Coming to holland?, great, if you like,maybe we could hook up here in holland, I know some better places than amstredam. Amsterdam a tourist trap,to many coffeeshops,it's so commercial, But let me know when you plan to come. I hope not to soon, goin on holidays, portugaul next week, be back beginning Oct. Let's Make A Plan! Cheers Mate!..........
Thanks for that!
Yeh Dutchy! Maybe we could meet up!
Plan on goin maybe November, me an a mate.
Never been before so Id like to make the most of it :D
When you decide to come to Holland, let me know. And don't you think a weekend is just alittle to short? I'd say at least a week. Travelling is so time consuming, before your here you got to go, might as well be a japanese tourist...3min. here, 5min. there...
Hey Dutchy,
I agree Amsterdam is very touristy but for us Americans it is so weird to be able to go and buy good pot in a coffee shop. Where would you recommend going besides Amsterdam. I love to travel and have been to Amsterdam four times. Is the Grey Line coffee shop still exist. Had some good Blueberry.
Also, Woody if you are going in november see if you can go when the Cannabis Cup is.
Think third week november.
Hey Dutchy thanks for the comment on the shirt, send me your address and I will send it too you.

alrite m8,just back from amsterdam myself a few weeks,i went with the g/friend for 3 nights and stayed at the beethovan ramada hotel which is about 10 mins on the tram into the leidsplien and a further 10 mins maybe into the dam square (Trams number 5 & 24) ;) check out the bulldog in the liedesplien,the smoke is a bit pricey but you get wot u pay for! purchase yourself a lovely bit of the white widow they sell in there,its a SERIOUS SMOKE,its pretty strange as the place used to be an old police station or a jail as far as i know and they still have the jail doors and cells in the place,look out for the bulldog that is sometimes in the place around the bar,it has the meanist red eyes in the place,it must be ripped out its box 24/7 in that place with the fumes.id reccomend headin into the dam square and having a snoop around as there is loads more coffeeshops in that area,in side streets where you may not think too look,by the way loads of the coffeeshops are tiny so if you get a seat youre laffin!!the grasshopper is a nice coffeeshop but look out for the black bitch behind the counter she is 1 greetin faced moody boot,she was ready to bite the head of some1 for askin for the key too the shithouse!!nice wee display of souviners and stuff you can buy but there way overpriced,just steal some beer mats like me lol,all you have to do is get on a tram and explore as far as i know the most of the trams just go round in big circles so its harder too get lost when your stoned out your box lookin for the last tram back too your hotel lol,for seeds check out the sensi seed bank which is at the top of the red light distrect and the the hemp museum is right next door,the seeds are pricey but worth it as i purchased myself some super skunk seeds and brought them back,my wee babys are well up and screaming for light after just 8 days in the pots!!!,you can see pics of em if you look through the forums!!http://www.coffeeshop.freeuk.com/ACDfrmGu.html check out that link that`ll give you a list of every1 you may be interested in while visiting the dam(THE PLACE IS SUPERB)BIG UP ALL YALL FROM THE DAM,dutchy yer just a jammy get and make me jelous at the thought of you stayin in the mellowist layed back place ever,oh and watch out for cyclists they dont stop and will run you over lolol and beware of trams they can catch you out if your stoned but they use there horns alot so you`ll be cool ;) dont waste time m8 get yer arse over there and enjoy!!!! :D
Highaz, It's like goin to 7 eleven...But, next time when your here. try checkin out Utrecht, middle of holland, really close to amsterdam..20mins. with train. Down south, Den Haag, Down by the Sea. Alkmaar, just above amsterdam, famous cheese market.
Rotterdam, Euro Port....just to name afew places. Oh, yeah the Grey Area still exist, not Grey Line, but Grey Area. So remember, next time in town,give buzzz.... or better yet,get in touch, I'll give you a BUZZ..............
Wardrobe Grower78, thanks dude.Great that you've been here. to see,feel, smell,taste,and smoke. Three nights is just cutting it short....but you sure saw alot as I read. Not Bad Dude............Yeah, I guess I'm a Lucky Dog.........
I intend to moved to the netherlands... just some of the things I have been reading... you need to pay 200+ euros to be allowed 9by law) to live there? then youg et you house n stuff... all confusing :( so i am gonna at least go there,
Hey Dutchy,
Your on. If I do not go this nov I will go next yr.
I would love to go to other parts of Holland. To everyone reading the people are great and they are a lot of fun.
Oh yeah it is the Grey Area, after I got finished there I went to Anne Franks house it was so cool.
Plus the other thing I like is that I look like everyone.
Blonde, blue, parents from Finland so I blend in well
Oh yeah Check out my post"medical" I have a email there, I will send a shirt

How much would avarage person spend on his whole trip to amsterdam from southern cali for a week.
yeah id say you are right dutchy,3 days just aint long enuff,so much too see and so must smoke to sample!!,next time i go ill make sure im there for atleast a week then it would give me time to go to places like rotterdam and so on,im plannin in goin in the near future,feels like ive been waiting for ever for my plants to grow and there only 12 days old lol!!theres no smoke like the dams smoke :D
day dreamin i`d sugest checking out www.hotels.com that site will give you an idea of prices for hotels,i booked my hotel through that site,i can say it may be a bit pricey but i think if you foned the hotel you fancy you would get it cheaper as the internet companys will always be taking there cut!! ;)
My family is related to anne frankQuote:

Do you need a bathroom of your own these all affect cost you can stay in a hostel for 20 a night but i stayed at a 5 star hotel for 65 night, flights are also cheaper at that time, last year you could go from chicago for about 450 I am sure dutchy could let you know of some good inexpensive bed and breakfeasts those are a good deal to. First time I went I had a back pack and we stayed in the hostels the last few times I have stayed in a good hotel. But off season is a good time to go because it is not as crowded and the cup!!!LOL
DAM! i wanna go to the Dam! I missed the chance few yrs back (waiting 4 passport)
which really sucked! One day ill be out there!
Peace
LETS ALL GO DOWN THE DAM DUMDUMDUM
LETS ALL GO DOWN THE DAM DUMDUMDUM
wasted
peace out
I love the dutch countryside, windmills and mad canals. I checked out a small town where my uncle got his testicle shot off (no joke) in ww2, there is little memorial where i got an etching and photo. Uncle was so happy i didnt just go to holland and get mad stoned, i remembered the history. You guys should consider going to see one of the war graveyards all the guys in them were like 17-21. Its quite an eye opener.
But on a lighter note amsterdam rocks. I almost punched out a black guy who wouldnt take no for an answer to "do you want some coke?" But they have a burger king, and macdonalds, so you wont go hungry. They charge extra for ketchup, i think mayo is free though.
I would stay away from any coffeeshop named after a band, like the doors, pink floyd etc. The menu is ofen hidden and you push a button and it lights up, comes out of ceiling etc. I dont think you can get a menu to take home anymore as a souvenier. Most of the places that have won or even entered cannabis cups are a good bet. the noon, greenhose effect, barneys, abraxas,de kuil, dampkring (sp), rusland, there are so many i cant really remeber. The bluebird is known for its many types of hash. I liked dread rock for good tunes. You can drink in the bulldog. Alot bars will let you toke if you ask 1st, esp seedy ones in the red lite. One of the seed companies i think maybe dutch passion has a place where you can see it growing, but not sure. There is at least one seed company operating a coffee shop i seem to remember. Dont get hit by a bike, you can step out of a store right into their path, and they yell at you. I wish i had taken a canel boat tour.
There is a vistors center just outside centraal stn that has great maps, that are either cheap or free. I would get a map, you wont get so lost you cant find your hotel, but as someone said alot of shops are on tiny streets near the waag, and finding the one you want can be hard. Some places i never did find. Gracht i think is canel in dutch
