might he have been sleepwalking? either way thats some crazy shit, how did he get in your room?Saxon wrote:Me and my friend were staying at Hotel Greenwich a few years back. We were having our last joint of the evening at about 2am in our room. We rolled a particularly potent Menali Cream J and after we smoked it, I was just drifting off mashedly when out of the corner of my eye I noticed some bloke standing silently on the other side of our room sort of between our beds staring at us. This brought me back to consciousness quite suddenly and it obviously did the same for my friend as he suddenly leapt out of his bed and said to the stranger "This ain't your room mate". The intruder turned and walked out of the open door with my mate following him, all the time he never opened his mouth. My friend poked his head out of the door and saw the stranger walk off down the corridor. I was so shocked/mashed that I just sat there in bed the whole time this was going on without saying anything.
After the guy had gone the most we could both say was limited to basically "Fuck that". Needless to say we slept with a chair wedged under the door handle that night and for the rest of our trip.

That was one of the mysteries of the whole thing, the door was shut (although not locked) so without a key there was no way in from the outside. We reckon he was probably also a guest at the hotel and had a room key but, who knows?Pauli Wallnuts wrote:might he have been sleepwalking? either way thats some crazy shit, how did he get in your room?
I have to say that i was guilty on the other end of a similar story on a new year trip 2007/08.
Myself and 6 friends stayed in the Tulip Inn hotel on Spuistraat and had a dorm all to ourselves on the 3rd floor. At the end of the nights, sometime people went their separate ways on the way back to the hotel for various reasons. So after a venture in the RLD i wandered back to the hotel about 3-4am one morning after quite a few drinks and smokes that day. I got the lift upstairs and starting banging on the door to the room...after a while, which i found odd as someone would have still been awake or just getting back too, the door swung open and the it was pitch black inside. So i went to my bottom bunk straight away to see someone curled up on the bed....shouting "what the fuck are you doing in my bed?" i was shocked to see a sleepy face respond something in French!!! Then the guy who was standing behind the door then started shouting in broken English...and i quickly made my exit holding back a fit of laughter!! I could barely get up stairs to the right floor i was laughing so much...and needless to say my friends found it hilarious too.
I felt a bit bad....but oh well....no-one was hurt

3 of us were staying in a 4 man cabin at Zeeburg camping smoked way too much than was good for you (4 hours of pipes buckets and big pure spliffs)everyone else went to bed 2 hours before me) so decided brush teeth toilet and bed, so got up and left half pure joint of nyc diesel in ashtray. as im walking im finding it hard to walk think well to do anything normal so make it back to cabin, stumble in notice 3 people sleeping (clicked something wasn't 100% right) but see my half smoked joint in ashtray, light it up umm lovely pure nyc diesel lay back in the chair toking away. ive noticed ben who is very over weight about 22 stone+ has lost about 13 stone and now is skinny (heyyyy) i should of clicked that something was wrong but instead i went over to his bed and kept saying how good it was he lost all that weight after 5 mins congratulating him for this achievement i go to wake mark on the top bunk up to see how much ben has changed so start nudging his shoulder hard Wake Up Wake Up. i now look and see a complete stranger in my bed bid annoyed but this sort of thing is understandable in Amsterdam, hey mate wake up a few sharp shoves wake up. i now notice all 3 are up sort of pretending to be asleep but can see open white eyes ( HOLD ON 1, 2, 3 ) i now realize ben is not ben and I've woken a room of complete strangers up and by the way their acting its like there's some weird nutter in the room so i do this weird slow motion backwards walking retreat out the cabin must of looked bloody weird as heck. now i proceed to cabin 10 not 20 slowly open door look in 1, 2 ben is big again look to ashtray half of big joint there and enter there was an upside as i had another lovely nyc diesel joint to smoke why i giggled to myself for about 30 mins.

Not too funny, but interesting none the less.
On my only trip (this pas summer) me and a friend stayed at the Hotel Internationaal.
After a day full of wandering the city, we came back to the hotel to shower and get ready for the evening. After showering we headed downstairs to the Hotel's bar.
Upon entrance however, we noticed quite a commotion. Apparently a few tourists had gotten kinda loud with the locals, and a huge fight had broken out. When we walked in all we saw was our hotel manager attempting to hold back 3 tourists, as well as our barman attempting to hold back one of the locals.
My buddy looked at me like "Hey I'm stoned as shit we better get out of here before one of these guys swings at us" but I said to him "Fuck that, I'm getting a drink."
So we proceed in sitting down at the bar and watching this entire fiasco play out. Our hotel manager ends up finally getting the tourists out, as the rest of the locals attempt to soothe the guy who the barman was holding back.
We ordered a few drinks and chatted with the locals about the fight. One of them had an eye-patch and ended up throwing his arm around my buddy while guzzling down his beer. Needless to say, I got a good night's worth of entertainment...
I just thought it was funny because the bar had completely cleared out except for all the guys fighting. All the meanwhile me and my buddy sat at the bar watching it go on like it was a boxing match lol Everybody was shouting and screaming and so serious while we just took it in as if it was a tourist attraction or something lol

Went camping at Zeeburg a couple of years ago with two friends, the three of us in a tent. Started raining as we left the airport and we found ourselves putting up the tent in a full-on thunderstorm.. Can't get across how much water was falling from the sky, it was just insane. Anyway it didn't let up so we spent the evening hotboxing the tent until we passed out, hoping it would be better weather in the morning..
So, I wake up at about 4:30/5am to massive thunder and torrential rain, roll over to go back to sleep before realizing I was now alone in the tent. Thought that was pretty weird but promptly fell asleep again. Woke up again at 6am, still alone. I should explain that my friends are not the sort of people to either disappear without word, or play some kind of practical joke on me, so i couldn't really get my head round it. So I venture out into the storm to check if they were in the bar or any other facilities- nope. Neither of them were answering their phones. SO I spent the morning smoking in the tent and trying to work out where they'd gone- until they showed up again later that afternoon and explained- during the night one of them had massive spasms and muscle contractions to the point where the other had to carry him through the storm and to an ambulance, all while I slept obvliously, and they'd spent the morning in the hospital trying to diagnose him- there was no explanation in the end but he figured it had something to do with smoking a lot of buddah and then sleeping in what was effectively a big puddle. Needless to say we moved into a hotel that evening.. which was a huge relief but a little on the seedy side.. when we checked in the receptionist asked us if we wanted to rent a video camera- since it was 2 guys and a girl they must have presumed we were there to have some kind of sex festival?? They also informed us of a 'special' room in the basement which had an adjoining spectators room. Yet this place seemed like paradise after spending a night in the storm...
Also on another occasion at Zeeburg, I was smoking in the bar when a horse casually walked in. Biggest double-take of my life! There was a woman who walked in after it, chatted to the barman and then led it out through the doors again- pretty surreal but it definitely happened!

LONG time lurker, first post. (Love the site and the info all of you provide by the way.)
So...
A few years back the wife and I were on cheapy long weekend in the Dam. In an effort to save some dough, we booked the HEM. We had been travelling for several hours and just wanted to get to the hotel and burn one down. So we grabbed a 5g bag from Central CS and headed straight for the HEM. Upon checking in, we upgraded to one of their nicer rooms upstairs and rolled one up. We don't smoke here at home, so suffice to say we were completely smashed! I began to unpack, stumbled, and fell into one of the lamps, completely smashing the damn thing up, I mean the shade was totally made flat. At around the same time, my wife got a bit of a tummy ache (probably from the crap airline food mixed with strong weed) and retreated to the bathroom. The next thing I know, I hear wretching sounds and other horrifying noises. Turned out she had gotten sick, while working out her stomach woes, and vomitted into the metal bin near the toilet. Not a pretty scene. So we did what any stoned fool would do, we threw the small metal bin, into the larger bin, tied up the plastic liner and set it outside our room. I reshaped the mangled lamp as best I could, which was not very well. After some recovery time, we went out for a bit. Upon our return we noticed that the soiled metal bin had been removed from the plastic bag, cleaned up and replaced in our bathroom, much to our embarrasment.
During our first night, at like 3 in the AM, someone tried to forceably enter our room and I literally had to fight him/her off from the other side of the door. I think it some other poor bastard who was just as fucked as I was, wondering why the hell someone was keeping him from his room.
(we were never charged for the busted lapm BTW.)
Gotta love the HEM
