Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Well, I got my tickets yesterday! Flying out of Chicago on January 26, getting into Schipol at 9 a.m. on the 27th. We'll be staying (me and three friends) in Amsterdam for a few days, heading to Utrecht on the 31, where we move into our apartments on the 1 of February. We'll be living/studying in Utrecht for nearly 6 months, so frequent trips to Amsterdam and everywhere else are guaranteed. Our return tickets are flexible, which is nice because we don't know what day we're going back yet.

I like to write, so I'll journal as much of our coffeeshop experiences as I can, and be sure to report them to the masses. This website has been really helpful in preparing for what to expect, knowing where to go, and more importantly where to avoid. I hope to pass along the favor soon.

thanks for that ... looking forward to your reports

have a great trip ...

Hi Don, enjoy your time over there. Look forward to reading your journals.

Great opportunity, I too will look forward to an ongoing report. I also belive you will enjoy Utrecht I have been there twice.

Just a day over two weeks to go!! So excited!! I've been smoking way too much at home in anticipation...

The four of us got a nice, modern apt near Westerpark for pretty cheap, and they allow smoking which is always nice to know.

Hopefully we get out of Schipol quickly and are wandering Haarlemmerstraat by 11 or so! I'm thinking Dampkring 2 as a first coffeeshop, considering the nice selection and decent prices. Good choice?

I read this and NOTHING will prepare you for those pesky bike lanes when you step out of your first cs!!! Mine was Rokerij and then straight down Singel. Luckily I'll be prepared for my next trip... 28th Feb to 4th March!!

Toke and talk Thurs 28th Jan Basjoe about 22:00 or there abouts if your interested, Henry VII and Rizlaking confirmed at the moment

What are you going to be studying in Utrecht?quite intrested in the oppertunity to go to the NL to study but i havent got a clue where to start or what it might take to get enrolled into NL college/university

Where else better to be studying than in A'dam or as close as you can get to it.........

You wish RizlaKing you wish.

No college would take you fella ha ha

Anyway you would spend your grant within a week then have to come home lol

One hell of a week though!!

I'll be at Utrecht University. It's quite easy to apply there as a foreign student--it's one of the more international English speaking universities in Europe.

Two weeks!!
