Re: Am I the only person who...?

Am I the only person who everywhere else is middle height, middle weight and middle aged, but in Amsterdam become a fat elderly dwarf? I'm 6'2 (1.88m) and I feel like a dwarf in the Netherlands. Interesting history, Nimrod. He probably would have been helped by a visit to the local coffeeshop, had ...

Re: I hate coffee.

I learned to like coffee by having it with sweetbread and doughnuts at a young age. Dipping those in the coffee.....yum yum! And for me, nothing beats a cup of coffee with a joint. (a.k.a. "poor man's speedball")

Re: Dam Square shops

You're not far from Abraxas CS either, which I think has a cool vibe to it.

Re: Amsterdam in 1983 (video)

@KeyMonCha: Thanks for that video, man, I missed that one as I was perusing that guy's channel on youtube. I like how specific it is by comparing the streets side by side. I agree, the city seems a lot cleaner now. There are other videos from even earlier years (1950s-1970s), but the 1983 series is ...

I went to Chile for a week a few years ago, loved it. Spent the whole time in Santiago and Valparaiso. Loved the snow on the mountains around the ci...

Re: Amsterdam in 1983 (video)

I am from the US, but I lived in Latin America for 12 years (Guatemala & Mexico to be exact). When I lived in Mexico, a friend once referred to marijuana as "mafufa" and I picked the nickname "mafufero" for ACD based on that. De donde eres tu? Are you going to Cannabis Cup th...

Re: Amsterdam in 1983 (video)

I must say though, 80s fashion was just as bad in stylish Amsterdam as everywhere else LOL, I was 18 years old in 1983 and I agree wholeheartedly. I wonder if they'll think the same of today's fashion 30 years from now. I just hope those corduroy pants never make a comeback. In the video, I was str...

Amsterdam in 1983 (video)

There was an interesting thread somewhere on ACD about Amsterdam during the early days of the coffeeshops in the late 70s and early 80s. Here is a video with some interesting street scenes of the Centrum from 1983 that I found on youtube. -TYq8hVNzBs And here is the link if you want to see it on ful...

Re: Crystal fooking ball...bitch-ass airline lackey!!!

It wasn't that many years ago when I could shop and try to get a great deal <$700 or a good deal <$800. Coming from Florida which includes a connection flight. Now, I don't see anything to the Dam, regardless of time or season for <$1,000. Last year, there were flights to Amsterdam available for ar...

Re: smoking hotels list

Has anybody stayed in the Bulldog apartments? wondering if it's ok to smoke cigarettes? or maybe a cheeky J out the window? I've not stayed at the Bulldog, but have considered it in the past. They say on their website that their rooms are strictly non-smoking. Looking at tripadvisor the other day, ...
