They sound like a bunch of capital P..... ussies :hippy:

Seriously... I went for the cup, and what was it, like mid-late November? Shit was awesome. Didn't have much more on than a winter hat, hoodie, jeans, maybe a rain jacket sometimes. Think about it... you are going to walk miles and miles and miles to go from place to place(which I recommend, because the best way to experience a new city is on foot :jointsmile not because they are far apart... but there are sooo many things to do and see. You are also going to be spending a lot of time indoors at the coffeeshops if you do the cup. Drinking HOT coffee... oh my god... I want to smack your friends right now. Haha. Also, they start their Christmas festivities around November I believe. I saw amazing parades and dudes dressed as black elves climbing building walls. hahaha
- Research the Dutch Christmas holiday. I think Santa is Sinter Klaus? Anyway, him and the elves don't come in through chimneys, they scale the building walls and go in through windows. It's fucking wild to watch them.

Honestly, I'm just sitting here shaking my head. I MIGHT be going around the cup this year... not to judge but to relax. I'll find out in a week or so, but I can't believe that anyone would pass up a trip like that because of some cold weather. Besides, that shit isn't even "cold." Although, I have lived in some places that have some seriously bitter winters, so I have an advantage.
Talk them into it... and if they still say no... fuck 'em. Maybe I'll see you there. We'll take a picture outside of each coffeeshop to send to your friends..... WEARING SHORTS!!!! hahahaha suckerrrrrrs :stoned:

JUST READ NEW INFO:
WTF is this about a smoking ban in the Netherlands? The Rookies says that they have a 70 person smoking room, and if a shop doesn't have a similar one, people have to smoke outside? Which in most places isn't tolerated by police? What is going on?
