That was great info, DRR, thank you very much. I LOVE loempia and ya can't beat 1 euro.
islandgurl, you're welcome. The 'special' loempia at 1.50 is great too - 1 is made with pork/chicken and the other is minced prawn? I'd never tried 1 before going to 'Dam but it just reinforces my view that Vietnamese food is amazing.
can you advise me on what bud to avoid if there were any???
Hey stuart....ok, there was some bud I didn't like that we bought round here. S.A.G.E from Katsu is 1. De Graal was virtually sold out of all weed last time too, though what they had (Cheese, Goldrup & Edelweiss) was very good - especially the Cheese at 10/g. They also stock a strain called 'Afghan Widow'. This was a major disappointment when I tried it. It crumbled....for want of a better description...in an unusual way, tasted a little like Afghan, but the high was weak to non-existent. The 'Buiten (Outdoor?) Haze' from here wasn't to my liking either, but with Yo-Yo round the corner does it really matter? Also avoid their top-priced hand pressed Maroc hash - about 15e/g. DO buy the Parvati, great hash and only 10e/g. Others to avoid...Jamaican from Pacific, the Thai might be better & the India Cush certainly was! Lobotomy from Media is overpriced in my book at 10/g with little or no dicount for bigger buys - my favourite bud here has to be the Hindu Kush, although I have heard great things about both the Pot of Gold & Hippie (smoke reports would be appreciated people!). Pacific is a great priced shop, a little away from the other shops....if you do visit get their Widow (superb at 7.50/g) but the Desert Bud was poor. GH Tolstraat is, well, a Greenhouse coffeeshop, so pricey and often busy. Trainwreck is consisently good from here, Super Lemon Haze was too last time, but more so than any shop in this area, check the wares, bad batches aplenty filter through.
Hope that helps, I'll add more as I remember it!
Quality info DRR, just a shame you wont be there to join in the fun""
Yeah I'm just resigned to meeting at Mellow Yellow, heading off to DeGraal, then playing it by ear. I am resisting the temptation to plan everything out to the last detail, as I'm well aware that things can change in an instant. Go with the Flow shall be the buzzwords!

Amen to that Plans can only get fucked up
Mantra for the day Go with the Flow
Babylon 'wan tief mi 'erb. But mi bun it bfoe dey come.
I would like to suggest that we all have a tentative list of shops that we really want hit. That way we can at least have a route and priority shops in mind while our Brains are still somewhat functional. My list and route would be.
1. DeGraal
2. Media
3. Katsu
3. D&L (optional)
4. YoYo
5. Carmona (optional)
6. Papillion
7. Ocean
8. Space Mountain
9. Kabouter
I can't imagine Katsu being great to accomodate a big group...so i still think it may be best to see how big the group is first before making a set route or list.
I think after the first bong of ice-o-lator, that the plans may go a bit mushy anyway

Agreed, no point trying to make to set in stone plans 'go with the flow', couple bongs and i will not want to go anyway
It's not on your list - but down the road from Media (towards Albert Heijn) is Coffeeshop Roxy - It's good value in there - a bit small for a group to sit - but they got a new menu with more strains last week - so it might be worth checking out if your interested
