Rollin down the Highway
Being back in Holland is a bit of a culture shock, mostly the shock of having human made technology surrounding me... no tents and fields... indoor plumbing... television.... wireless internet... those kinds of things...
I've been smoking quite a bit since comming back, Mostly back to my usual spliffs, but i've been slowly introducing my vaporizer into my smoking repertoire... It's a different experience, a different high and I really do like it... It's a definite saver of weed. The amount I've vaped is barely over a gram and I've used the thing tons of times... I swear I can get high after 1 session which amounts to about 1/2 to 2/3 of a normal Bowl... about a third of what I put into a spliff...
I still enjoy the ritual and satisfaction one gets by rolling a really nice, well done spliff... The craftsmanship and talent is lost when loading up a vape... which is why I haven't given them up.... (also there is that niccotine fix i get from the tobacco since I've quit ciggies)
I've found a wonderful smoke from a local shop called Goa.
(not to be confused with theGoa in Amsterdam)
The weed is Called "Q" and is €8.50 per gram. has a lovely fruity/skunky smell, quite strong, but not overwhelming.
Looking at it the weed is dense, with large buds covered with white crystals and hairs. It's sticky, but breaks apart easily... not too wet...
It's an excellent all around body high with a bit of cerebral sensations... nothing visual or extreme, but a good overall sensation. It actually made me want to study, and i brought out my research and did some notes!...
I'll get some pictures up later but this is a real gem. I'd recommend it to all those interested in a good strong but uplifting high....
Random bike rides throughout the town and country remind me how much I love my bike and how well holland works for it. ah well... off to another fun time reading and enjoying life...
peace to all!

it's been a week since my loved one has made it over from the States and oh what a week it's been!
The day I heard that she had been accepted to the same University i was, I started counting down until she came to live with me again. I spent half a month getting the apartment ready for her arrival
(mind you I had moved into my new apartment before heading off to england the night before my flight... I literally finished moving everything at midnight on monday... and left tuesday at 7AM.... so suffice it to say the place looked pretty bad)
I bought IKEA chairs and tables, pictures, kitchen gear, and all those things necessary for an apartment..
Finally she got here last week.... and of course while the place was a vast improvement over before... it wasn't what she called "woman clean" I guess spending half a year living as a bachelor took it's toll... no worries though I was over the moon to have her here with me...
She's not really a smoker... has it on rare occations... but she's quite alright with my partaking
...
We decided to head on into Amsterdam on Sunday for the Uitmarkt. Apparently the start of the Amsterdam cultural season. Throughout the city there were booths everywhere advertising the hundreds of plays and theatrical art projects in the upcomming year. We came in by train and arrived at 2 walking out to a sunny, albeit windy day. The city was packed to the brim and we speedily avoided the crowds of tourists and the RLD....
zipping down the Zeedijk we walk through China town just chatting away. As we approach the Nieuwmarkt we see massive structures up in the square. We approach and start to hear a distinctly dutch tune. On stage was a band in traditional clothing, playing their instruments and jamming away! It's great to see these kinds of cultural festivals in Amsterdam. As much as I enjoy the smoking culture, and the normal touristy bits, it's good to see how the locals celebrate their own culture. It's only after living here for half a year that I've come tp appreciate these things... We zip down to the east following a neverending line of stands. Each with a different theatre company/ performance arts group advertising their productions... it was great!
The only real problem was that everything was in Dutch... Sadly our language skills are seriously lacking... but oh well... we'll pick it up eventually
After walking around the waterlooplein area I posed a request for a coffeeshop stop. The Mrs. was fine with it and we popped into Old Amsterdam...
Walked up to the bar to see Marco smiling back. I asked if he had any White cheese in at the moment seeing as it's my absolute favorite smoke so far....
But alas it wasn't to be... He said he was out and wouldn't have any more for about 3 weeks.... perhaps i'll plan an impromptu bike ride up one weekend to stock up of course
He did have a new product called New Cheese. Having never tried the UK strain of cheese, my experience is limited to what I can get in the Dam. I've had the Big buddha cheese and HGF's cheese (which is my favorite by the way)... so i thought what the hey? give it a go...
The buds were quite tightly packed and there weren't many crystals... I smelled and there was that distinct cheese flavor there.. It was a bit more sour smelling than HGF... and not as strong... I bought a gram and skinned up a spliff. It definitely had the heavy body high of a cheese, It was a nice smooth smoke as well... I didn't cough it down... and I was quite content for the rest of the afternoon...
After a bit more wandering through a book market (again most were in Dutch... but a few stands had English books and that was cool) We found a ferry giving rides to different events... again for free! So we boarded the last ferry of the day and bombed around the canals... all the while listening to Accordian music on the boat.... It was a great day sucking in dutchie culture!
On the way back to the station I stopped by at HGF to pick up a little bit more bud... Grabbed myself a gram of the Silver pearl, and headed back on the train and back home.
Overall a very nice day trip up to the Dam..... Now and again these small days remind me why I moved to this country....
peace,

perhaps you already know about the book market at Oudemanhuispoorthippy_man99 wrote:After a bit more wandering through a book market (again most were in Dutch... but a few stands had English books and that was cool)
if you don't know it already then it is definitely worth a visit, it is an indoor market in an old (university?) building and has a couple of long tables of english titles, plus loads of other very interesting books, in dutch of course but full of pictures to look at
it is located between basjoe and muntplein, so one could go to maoz in muntplein and have a falafel, then wander over to the market, spend lots of time looking at all the books then choose maybe a cheap 2-3 euro paperback, and then head over to basjoe for a coffee, smoke and read
well anyway i did that one day last january and really enjoyed myself
thanks for the update on your doings ... love the cultural events reporting

hippy...you're making me extremely jealous, my friend!!
I'm so happy to hear that your beloved has made the trip over! Amsterdam is a wonderfully amazing place and I can attest to it being even more so when experienced with a significant other by your side. Couldn't be more happy for you both Dammit...we really have to make it back over to meet with you two!
It really sounds like you got to see a lot of ridiculously cool stuff. Seriously....just wow. We're missing so much by wasting our lives over here in the States. So where do all these theatre groups peform? And they're just letting everyone know about their upcoming shows? Sounds damn cool...*shaking head*.
It really was a great smoke...and the Mrs is STILL talking about it and wishing it was available here
