Re: Free Ben's 7th times the charm. Jan 12th-16th 2012

Great report, I'm looking foward to the rest of it! I hadn't been before but after reading so much about it on here, I couldn't resist checking out Burger Bar. Talk about turning our food luck around? 270g black Angus with bacon and mushrooms, I didn't know burgers could get this good! next time you...

Re: Day trip to Groningen?

Awesome, we have a solid 9 days of overlap! I look forward to Verdamping with you! :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen:
I'm going to have to choose my day trips carefully, and I don't think Groningen is going to make the cut this time around, so don't wait on me to make your plans.

Re: Day trip to Groningen?

do you know the dates of your trip? I don't know how many side trips I will be making, but I definitely plan to make at least a few. Den Haag, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Haarlem, Zaandvoort are all on my radar... I'll take a look at Groningen

Re: Bookends- still telling stories with new PICS Sept/Oct 2

It probably didn't help that writing a travelogue beside Luvtick's is a recipe for breeding insecurity. I know how you feel sister! That is one reason I'm glad I cranked my complete report out in rather a hurry- there weren't any major new entries from luvtick and yourself while I was writing to in...

Re: Bookends- still telling stories with new PICS Sept/Oct 2

The only good thing about James selling Basjoe (for us of course) is that it inspired this burst of new old stories from geeky! I love your reporting as always! I hope you are forced (I know, your arm would have to be twisted pretty hard! :roll: ) to take a trip to Amsterdam in June! I would love to...

Re: Tourists To Be Banned From Legal Marijuana Cafes ?

All three of Friendly Edgar's links say that the wietpas will be coming in to operation as of the 1st May 2012 in the three southern provinces and that the rest of the country will be affected as of the 1st January 2013. ... But surely Uncle Ron's point is just reinforced by these links? As for a f...

Re: Tourists To Be Banned From Legal Marijuana Cafes ?

no all is still the same even in maastricht (near to the border of belgium and germany). Ok in maastricht only dutch, german and belgium guys are allowed in the shops (since october 2011)... for me as a german it is no problem but maastricht is the only city with that rule. Many owners of coffeesho...

Re: $90 a day?

Yeah, it's like 69 or 70 euro. I'm going to have to do the supermarkets a lot. Stock up the kitchen. This is the key right here!! If you have a kitchen, you can eat three meals a day for ~10-12e! It could easily cost more than that for 1 meal if you eat out. Another thing I would advise is to alway...

Re: Customer Service!

Voyagers, Anyday and Homegrown Fantasy had excellent service, in my experience... though except for Anyday, that experience is limited to the fun stuff, not drinks and whatnot... I don't drink coffee, and it ain't difficult to hand me a bottle of water outta the fridge!

Thank you! That would be cool... I definitely hope to do a better job of meeting people next time! There were a lot of ACD'ers in town during my trip, and I only met a very small handful. :oops:
