Re: December 19 - 30

Hey FlyByNite, Is there a T&T calendar? Or should I just search for T&T threads in the Travel Plans section? I couldn't find much happening between 12/19-30. I think it would be fun to do a coffee shop crawl. Have about a 15 minute smoke at each place and a longer break every few shops. I've...

Re: December 19 - 30

Must be great being able to visit the Dam so often. I'm jealous. I get in town the 19th. Let's keep in touch and help each other find the best strains. I'll be looking for a nice indica like purpleberry from Stones, and a super high sativa like amnesia haze from Stix. The amnesia i got from Stix las...

Re: How much do you spend getting to A'dam?

I paid about $600 in November 2002, $450 in January 2004 and $875 for my ticket leaving this month. All were round trip tickets. I actually got a deal this time for $875 and could have easily paid $1200. If airfare was as cheap as it used to be I would go more often.

Re: Got searched leaving Amsterdam to Paris.

The first time I visited Amsterdam back in 2002, I smoked a big fatty INSIDE Schiphol. I was definitely naive back then but even more so rebellious and quite immature. I honestly thought it might have been acceptable to smoke in designated areas of the airport. But I definitely knew it wasn't accept...

Re: First Trip!!

I took my first trip to Amsterdam at the age of 26. I assume you're around that age if you're now 4 years out of college. What a great age to make it to the Dam. It should be the best trip of your life thus far. I stayed at De Roode Leeuw for a week this past January. Coming from the USA, Amsterdam'...

Re: December 19 - 30

Yes, internet cafes are easy to find in Amsterdam. They all have computers to use. The reason I posted is I don't recall them having high speed wifi or ethernet hookups available for laptops. But it sounds like you'll be covered for either scenario of high speed access: using a cafe's computer or us...

Re: How Much Cash .. ?

I think you could easily get by with 80 euros a day and enjoy yourself. - 30 for 3 meals at roughly 10 per meal (Wok to Walk and Albert Heijn are great options) - 20 for drinks/snacks at coffee shops (most coffee shops expect you to buy a drink or herb to hang out) - 30 for herb and hash (anywhere f...

Re: December 19 - 30

I just found an internet cafe that has exactly what I'm looking for and figured someone else may want to know about it. Only problem is it's a little further out than I'd like. But it has booths/stations where you can hookup your laptop and speeds up to 16Mbps. Cyber Lounge type: general World66 rat...

Re: December 19 - 30

Hey FlyByNite, How fast have you found McDonald's wifi to be on average? Are we talking dial up modem speeds or decent broadband speeds? I assume it is probably pretty fast because I don't remember many people eating up bandwidth when I visited McDs on past trips. Thanks in advance. I have no proble...

Re: December 19 - 30

Actually, that delicious purpleberry kush was not from 420 Cafe but rather from Stones. It's a coffee shop on a corner and I remember I bought some really good dutch moonshine icolator there as well. Oh man, I cannot wait to get back there. Unfortunately it looks like the purpleberry has been remove...

Re: December 19 - 30

Hey, thanks a lot for the responses. It sounds like there is plenty of sufficient WiFi available in Amsterdam. Hopefully, speed won't be an issue. I'll check out some of the options FlyByNite referred to and some other options I've listed below that look reliable. I'm really looking forward to some ...

December 19 - 30

Hey guys. I hope everyone is doing well. I am returning to the Dam for my 5th trip. I was lucky to be able to enjoy the beautiful city this past January and on some other trips beginning in November of 2002. I will definitely have some time for meet and greets and will keep up with this site using m...
