Amsterdam Coffeeshop

Post by Balou »

If you love Amsterdam, then you will love this. Filmed by Dutch television (BNN), this is a short video of what 10 English boys got up to in Amsterdam for a day, all payed for by BNN. Coffee shops, drinking, chilling, smoking, going to bars, and talking about it as we go. enjoy.

That was pretty funny in places for one reason or other.

If that is the pool room in Prix D'Ami that we see then it looks a lot cleaner and smartened up since i was there (pre turnstile times).

It was a little bit funny, but really i hope we the British are not classified like them, they seemed a right pissed up rowdy bunch.

They were having a good time, yes but no need to be noisy and attract attention.

Looks like they couldn't handle the alcohol :LoL: !

You are joking right? Of course many look upon Brits as being like the lads in the video. During peak season, find a vantage point near the RLD and be prepared to have your worst nightmares come true. Another location is in Eindhoven. Walk along the Stratumseind, a pedestrian only street with many English themed bars and restaurants, also a few C/S's. Gee, I wonder why most C/S's don't sell alcohol?

Peace.

Surely not, fella? And I thought all the Irish were teetotal! :lol:

In all the bars and clubs in the places I've been, from Cobh in the south to Coleraine in the far north, I've never met a friendlier bunch of people than the Irish. Spent a few days in Dublin with the band I was working with at the time and found meself wishing I lived there. Great craic!

Funny thing is that some shops sell alcohol and some don't, so what do you base your opinion on? I am not familiar with the laws pertaining to who is allowed to serve and who isn't.

Peace.

Dude, just under 3 years ago any place selling both weed and alcohol had to choose 1 or the other. :idea:

That's what I thought too. I know there are a few bars that allow you to smoke weed, but I don't think there are any bars that sell weed anymore.
