Canadian professional smokers. Feb 6-10
Hi ACD'ers,
I've been visiting Amsterdam since i was a kid. Since going on my own in 1998, my dutch travels have been geared more towards smoking marijuana than following my parents around. Visits followong were 1998 summer, 2000 summer, 2003 summer, 2005 summer. 2006 summer (w/current non-smoker wife)
Since 2007, I have been going at least once a year with my good friend Paul (plus 1 to 3 tag alongs depending on the year). Airfare from Canada is usually over 1000$ so it is much more of a luxury than for you Brits, cause if i lived there, i would be going monthly.
So this year I cashed in some Aeroplan points for a Business class ticket from Montreal to Amsterdam on Lufthansa connecting in Munich. It's gonna be nice to actually have room to sleep on the overnight 8 hour flight. Pauls mom was a flight attendant so he gets to fly cheap on Air Canada. We land on Feb 6th at noon.
We know the city pretty well by now and know what we want to smoke. First stop is Grey Area as always. Next will be Amnesia. Also looking forward to finally hitting katsu up. Green place is also a must visit. Last year due to all the great words about Basjoe, we went to check it out and it was very un appealing. Average smoke, rude bud tender and the place was drab. Never going back.
Who will be there at the same time?

Yeah we have had the weather.I live in qld which has copped it bad. Our city brisbane in many parts still has no power as do many suburbs. The damage is really bad. I escaped without too many problems. We have a very large cyclone about to hit North qld tomorrow. There is plenty of concern in that one as its a really large one. People are evacuating the area rapidlyAdamster wrote:WOW! i fell your pain of being far far in OZ...but like you siad your Lucky also..is oz still under water ??boontang wrote:I arrive early on the 9th.

But i leave next week for my second adventure
As for the rest i got an absolute bargain ticket at $1700, This trip is only 26 hours with a 3 hour stop at singapore. Last time i went with a different airline and it took 33 hours. I only get 68 cents in the dollar as well. But hey , thats life. We have great food, plenty of sun, good beaches even if out cost of living is out of control
