June 20-25th!!

Post by Dirac »

I'm coming to Amsterdam with a few friends to celebrate finishing uni and all that. Last time we went we spent the five days in coffee shops exclusively and did literally nothing else; so this time around we want to do some more things as well as the essential coffee shop experience!

Are there any things happening in Amsterdam in these dates? I will of course search this forum and keep this thread updated for things going on just in case someone else is coming these dates!

Welcome to the forum.

You have been posted on the June Whos In Town page.

You can see who else may be in town during your stay.

Watch for Toke & Talks, I post them up to the last minute.
Or post one of your own. All I need is a date, time, and coffeeshop to post it.

By default I link your posting to your profile page here on ACD.

https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/membe ... le&u=60928

I can change it to a web link ( myspace, facebook, personal page )
or an email address if you want.

You can do a little practice shopping on the Coffeeshop Menus page.
Any with arrows are less than six months old.


Enjoy

That's amazing, Cage The Elephant are wicked! I'm definitely going to try and get people to go to this. Thanks a lot :)

The Van Gough museum imo is a must. About 15e last time I visited. Get well stoned before you go in. Standing in front of the sun flower painting (he painted about 12 versions) makes my hair stand on end. Bet Vincent liked a good toke too. Here is a link on you tube to 'Stary stary night' to get you in the mood 8)

you could try coffeeshops around de pijp area.. then coffeeshops around zeeburg.. and to top it off coffeeshops everywhere else (you get to see alot of Dam, you might be wasted but thats a bonus for me). done attractions canal ride, sex museum, Heineken brewery and others i forget but they lacked for me.. maybe a picnic at vondelpark or Amsterdam Botanical Garden..

We managed like 30 coffee shops last time we went! We basically had a map with them all on and tried to get to them all, inevitably we didn't manage all haha. The sex museum was pretty funny, and cannabis college was cool too. Might try the Heineken brewery this time. Also bikes look good too!

De Hortus Botanicus is well worth a visit. It was smaller than I expected but we took our time walking around, really enjoyed ourselves,.... and it was reasonably priced aswel.

I lost my glasses there but didn't realise until well over an hour after we left, they were fine about letting us back in to look for them, took me a while to retrace all of my steps but I eventually got them,... about two yards away from the exit! DOH!

OK so we are heading over in less than a week. The anticipation of the week in Amsterdam is almost over; I've finished uni and will get results from my exams over there!

So where is good at the moment, I'm looking for a really nice bud, something that will blow my head off because I never seem to get it over in the UK! Also going to be trying some hash too, any particular recommendations?
