Been a busy few weeks job hunting, must have been in half the coffeeshops, irish bars, hotels and fast food joints in the city, heard nothing yet.
sorta got into the habbit of going out mid morning/ early afternoon and job hunting, then meeting gapie in utopia between 4 and 6 or going voyagers around that time. Spoke with HB about job hunting and got some good advice. Cheers mate
Met Nikkos and RvanSteensel Both cool guys.
Been doing my weed shopping mainly at boerejongons as its cheap, but I'm concious of becomming a fanboy so have picked up as well kandy kush from voyagers (10/10, after one spliff I could feel my face vibrate when I talked) Kuchi from utopia (very nice taste and good strong stoned) and bits and pieces from 1e hulp, dampkring and 2e kamer. today I got some amnesia skunk at dampkring which is much better than expected.
Anyone who happens to run some sort of business, I'm available, I'll wash dishes and scrub floors if you want,m but I do have bar tending and customer service experience.

Todays weather (relentless rain) brought on a feeling of homesickness, which was remedied when I saw on dampkrings menu "john lemmon haze", and I also noticed that kali mist was described as having a "peppery hazey" taste, which brought in mind my so far fruitless search for Jack Herrer as good as the one I smoked in the uk, as thats exactly how I'd describe the smell and taste of that, so I got 10e of each. Dampkring was too packed to chill so we headed utopia where we'd missed gapie by about 20 minutes so we had a brew and a couple of spliffs and a chat with nel, then off to centraal to top up my ovi kaart then boerejongons on the way home for some bedtime white choco.

Ok, long time I've been away, I'm sorry. I went back to england at the end of october because my mum had breast cancer. thankfully, they caught it very early and removed the lump, so touch wood she'll be ok after the radiotheray. I would have been back in mokum on the 6th, (day after my mums operation) except a close friend of mine passed away on the 5th, and we didn't get to bury him because of the autopsy until yesterday. I was one of the coffin bearers, and they played ghetto gospel as we carried him into the cremetorium. it was a beautiful send off, but he was only 18. much, much too young to die. If you have diabeties then look after yourself, it's been a horrible few weeks for a lot of people.
I arived back at schipol at about 20 past 8. I passed straight through customs, with nothing to declare except my llove of this country and its tolerant polecy to cannabis. I hoped on a train to centraal, where I got talking to a couple of guys from lincolnshire, showed them where voyagers was and aranged to meet themm later. went into voyagers along with my suitcase, and was shocked to find sblh gone, replaced bby lemon bubble. I had planned for my first spliff once back to be the best lemon haze in town, because it was my friends favourete weed, but this was not to be.( In a way I prefer it this way, cos there doesnt seem to be much lemon haze about atm) The Lemon Bubble didn't disapoint, it was better than the silver bubble from greenplace, more happy high, nicer taste and less paranoia. HB came in and I heard a bit of his conversation and realised he was talking to USbonglord lovetick and (sorry I cant remember your name, bt your cool I remember who you are)!! I introduced myself, and within an hour and a half of comming home, I was smoking concentrates in a mini vape and then the legendery spoon on a joint!! My new friends from the train arrived near closing time, and after making plans to meet with the ACD crew tomorrow we headed off to utopia where I met up with sebastiaan. didn't buy anything except a drink, before heading to dampkring, 2e kamer and boerejongons by proxey on the way home. (I gave bass 10 euro and told him to get me a tens of cheap good haze for tomorrow because he was on a bike and I was on the last tram)
Skywalker kush from voyagers is good, but I kinda prefer the lemon bubble, holy grail kush I'm about to smoke for bedtime. the menu at dampkring has shrank horrendously, la kandy kush and john lemmon haze are the 2 most noticeable absentees for me, but theres more. its basicly shrank to bare minimum best sellers. Also the cherry pp is not a good batch. its pp, basic and shite pp, not the good spicey cherry pp they had in the summer. 2e Kamer on the other hand has a massive menu including a variety of kush's and hazes, and the cup entry C7 Pioneer, which I got half a gram of and its fantastic. the cherry bomb is much nicer than the cherry pp from dampkring and half a euro a gram cheaper.
made it to all 5 oof my favourete coffeeshops (if you cunt sending bas to boerejongons) within 3 hours of comming home, proud of myself. also I have now a search for some really good super lemmon haze to toast the memory of my friend, and a load of interesting people to meet as I'm back in time for the cup.

Thanks billy, my mums doing OK (touch wood)
but following the bad news Thursday my last chance of a job is gone, and I'd rather invest what remains of my savings in something profitable on the island than blow it on another 3 months on holiday. I go Tuesday night, and as I won't b smoking except at the airport on Tuesday, today and tomorrow I'm saying my goodbyes and getting high like theres no tomorrow. If you wanna see me check dampkring ( orange one, not that abomination on harleemerstraat ) 2e kamer, utopia and voyagers, mainly the last 2.
Its been an amazing 8 months. I've smoked easily over 200 strains, and learnt so much about weed and weed polotics . I've made friends to last a lifetime, all of you from here, the regulers at voyagers and utopia, about 20 English people on holiday I made friends with, Stan and bas, Paul and Amanda, the american couple in 2e kamer on there 1st night in town, Fabian from Germany who came for a stag night and stayed for a week, abzy from oz, and more.
This isn't the end, I'll be back for a weekend in a few weeks, and I've already got 420 and kings day planned, and this year I may get a judges pass for the cup
Also I met Black the Ripper And Andrew Pyrah, and made my stoner page on Fb awsome.
( stoners&stonettes if you're interested)
Full report comming soon.
One Love

Hope all goes well for you Jack and you enjoy your remaining time in what can only be described as the greatest city of all. Think I may have seen you and Stan in utopia the other week but didnt say anything due to being dazed from the short sleep I had in there.
Best regards
