Sounds like you have a great time mate. I bet there are a lot of swedes in town warming up for tonight's game. Heja Sverige

Yeah there are. Almost went crazy last night when hearing Swedish being talked by every secong guy you see.

Just got back. Great night, lots of fun and drinking. I thought the game was gonna end 3-0 so I'm not too dissapointed by 4-1... Ended up meeting a lot of guys I know to some extent. Gonna write some more tomorrow but now I'm way too wasted. Only been to Hill Street on The Market, Stix, Dolphins and Hunters today if I'm not forgetting....

I did not know about the game when I planned the trip and I found the tickets now way too expensive so I watched the game at NES. Probably the better choice.

kadysdad, it's crazy when I think about it. Half a box of rolling papers is now empty. Been drinking some tea, nice for the throat. I'll try to stay safe but the last few days I have encountered some really weird guys. I'll manage

"I'm collecting lighters so if anyone know of places with their own please let me know. So far this trip I've bought lighters at Barney's, Grey Area, Hunters, Amnesia, Hill Street Blue, Dolphins and Green Place. From before I have Hunters (old version), Bluebird and some other ones I can't remember... "

Mellow Yellow have a nice lighter, and its a great shop.
Try the S5Juice-haze and ask them if they have any of the nepalese jungle creme hash it's pretty special stuff though expensive ( 16eu i think ).

Stix and Bluebird both have their own branded lighters too.

coughing my lungs out aaarghghhhh

Yeah, so I am slowing down my tempo. I have a lot to smoke and three days left.

Last night I went to Rokerij IV, really nice small shop. Really friendly too.

Also bought some Gunpowder from Stix, some more Mexican Haze and LA Confidential from Dampkring/TK and probably more... Not something spectacular though. I guess when you are here for a while you start to learn your favourites.

I'll probably head over to NES in an hour or two. Have to go to AH first, but if you want to meet, NES is likely

Just got back from Burgermeester, man were they better than Burger Bar or what. Ordered the Meester Biefburger, very nice. A little too much vegetables which made it a little unstable, gonna try one of the other burgers next time. Can't believe I haven't been there, just five minutes away on Erlandsgracht and Rokerij IV just across the street.

Now I'm probably off to Nes for a while. Think I'm going to alternate between Nes and some coffeshop, probably going to swing by Basjoes and then some bar or something tonight. Going try find a really nice one I visited a few nights ago.

Apparantly, on Saturday at 4pm there's a T&T at Paradox. I will be there, hope to see a few more faces than the last few t&ts

Give Coffeeshop Little a try if you haven't been there before. Very cozy and they usually have good gear. Its just a little bit south of Mellow Yellow.

Iko, was going to MY the other day but someone told me not to. He said they've been going down-hill. I will probably check it out for myself tomorrow or something...

bleak, thanks. Will go by Stix some day. I have a Bluebird lighter since before but maybe they have got new ones... will go by there also

Yeah, so I've just been to Nes, Basjoes and a few other places. Discovered that I really liked the Blueberry cheese from Green Place. Got 1 g of Dutch Ice from Rokerij. First time I try Ice but this is definetly worth it's price of 22€. I'm really glad I bought that, that 1 g will probably last me until I leave.

You really should pop into (down in to) Coffee Shop Little if you're going to Mellow Yellow...they are like 25 meters or so apart on the same side of the road.

CS Little has wifi and is a special "little" basement shop that is big enough for 4 tables and a counter and that's it.

Love that shop. Try some of the Morning Breeze if it's still on the menu. A really good morning blaze.

If it stops raining I'm gonna go there today. Otherwise there's still time tomorrow and Sunday

Just got back, enjoying some burgers from Burgermeester. Really good. Raining alot. Bought new shoes, don't want to wear them until the rain stops and the old ones looks like they have been submerged in water for some time... so I can't wear them either.

Went by Anyday and picked up some pretty good stuff. WW, Grapefruit and something else. Nothing too exotic on the menu now. Also bought some more Kuchi at Grey Area.

If the raining doesn't stop I'm just gonna go to Rokerij IV tonight or maybe 1:e huip, haven't been there yet and it's just across the canal here.

T&T tomorrow, Paradox 16:00.

Stop buying? Lol.Yeah maybe I should. But I want to try new things

Tomorrow is the last day, starting to feel sad. But I'll be back in nov, and then some more time with you two

I really wish you could have been here longer this time.

Today I've been on a nice t&t, bought a GA t-shirt, got some more Casey Jones, LA Confidential at Grey Area, LA Confidential at Tweede Kameer, 420 Cheese and SSH at 420 Café, Amnesia Haze and John Sinclair at Abraxas, 40€ waterworks at Dampkring, Nepalese Pollen, White Widow and Blue Cheese at Barneys. And Chocolope from Paradox, really good one.

Also bought a spacecake from Paradox with 1,25 g in it for 6 euros, and one from Dampkring with 0,4 g in it... for the same price. Like to try them both tough.

Guess how many empty bags (of course I've lost a few)? And how many with still something left?

Tomorrow a few of us are gonna meet at Grey Area about four or so. Come if you are in town. Pipesmoker, you wanted to meet
