10 day trip:
Budapest - Vienna - Brussels - Amsterdam
Amsterdam [29th April to 1st May]
the next day (wednesday!) we woke up super early to catch the train from brussels to amsterdam
of course this resulted in me sleeping in the train
and we had to rush to change train to head towards the hostel
cos i din wanna miss the new amsterdam tour at 1pm!
lucky lake hostel
initially, i hated it
because the shuttle which ferried us from the metro to the hostel costs 1eur each time we take it, and this was not mentioned on the website at all
i felt so cheated! cos that's like expensive u know, plus a single trip metro ticket cost 2.60eur! add up, transportation cost is ALOT, and it might be more worth it to stay in a more ex hostel in the city instead! haiz!
but subsequently, i kinda liked it, because it's away from the city, away from the chaos, and in a more peaceful land!
and the toilets and bathrooms are clean
but need to bathe at night
cos most of the angmohs bathe in the morning, so the bathroom is wet and a bit dirty in the morning
it is also quite a cool caravan concept, and much open area
the kitchen is also in the open area
and many wild animals like chickens and ducks around, ready to be eaten
the lake is not EXACTLY next to the hostel, need to walk for about 3 min
but there were alot of flies there
which resulted in us running back instead
sights from the new amsterdam tour
free tour again! of course we gave tips la
our tourguide john was super enthusiastic!
unlike us, who were super lethargic
it's quite interesting lor, but i was quite sad that the locals kept calling him "LIAR" throughout the tour! why can't they just let us be!
which is why the New Madrid Tour is closed now due to strong protest from some agency or smthg, they will hurl insults at the tour guides
haiz, seriously, where's freedom of speech
and u can't limit people for what they say, how about other overseas tour groups?
u may not know what the tour guides say also what!
anyway, the red light district is going to be closed in 2011!
so, well, weed/marijuana/spacecakes fanatics, go visit it while it exists
and also the girls in the window!
which i though were disappointing, only saw a not bad blondie
some were fat, or old!
the tour guide told us that the oldest one is actually 75! omg!
we actually wanted to go for the RedLightDistrict Tour but it was not available due to queens day celebrations :(
throughout the tour, there were many mentions of the public urinals that guys have
the top pictures are of course of the public urinals, and the bottom are anti urinal designs
well, i think peeing in the public is stupid. fullstop.
but that doesn't stop the angmohs from still doing it:
unglam/uncultured idiots.
maybe it's cos u've to PAY to use toilets in amsterdam
why can't it be free?!
i had to pay 0.50eur to use a toilet can! wth!
maybe public peeing can be solved by having more FREE toilets in cafes and shops
the next day was queen's day!
we woke up super late cos, well, not v interested in it also
i wanted to go to museumplein to see some structure (which i din get to see)
everyone dressed in orange!
many crazy people around
and strong smell of weed and smoke everywhere!
my life seriously cut short by 10 years just by going to amsterdam
retarded people smoking away
why can't they be locked in a smoke chamber, and smoke till they happy/die, and not pass second hand smoke to me and not cause me to get lung cancer?!?
i think if i go for a full medical checkup when i get back from europe, my lungs will probably be blacker than before
so it was pretty boring on queens day cos the streets were filled with people
and there wasn't much to do cos everything was closed
the next day, and the LAST DAY, we headed for the amsterdam sex museum with our very heavy bagpacks
gh almost died helping me to carry mine, because i stuffed alot of chocolates inside it, those that we bought from brussels, cos my bagpack bigger mah!
the amsterdam sex museum was nothing very exciting
i bet it's all stuff that u can find on the internet
however, i think the animal sex section is totally DISGUSTING!!!!!!!
why do people wanna have sex with animals?!?!?
u mean they feel aroused by animals?!?!?
then start praying u get reincarnated into an animal or smthg!!
the most gross picture (in which many people took picture of) was this woman having sex with a SNAKE! and the snake was at her vagina, and it was FREAKING DISGUSTING!
wah, i felt super grossed out by it!
i hope the snake bit her, and poisoned that lunatic.
we had lunch at macs, where i was pissed off with the service
and we even had to pay for the MAYO for the fish burger?!
i totally din understand the cashier, i thought we have to pay for like ketchup packets so i said i din want it!
what kind of macs is this man! SUCKS TO THE MAX!
and since i'm complaining,
i need to show the picture of the sgd 5.20 SINGLE TRIP trains in which i took
damn disgusting can!
i'll even complain if i've to pay sgd 0.50 lor!
it's times like this when i appreciate how clean and nice sweden is
and how much better singapore is
then we headed for the schiphol airport
which is a big international airport so it was not bad
it was the first airport in europe that i've seen with a water cooler
which is perfect as well
the control tower looks SUPER SIMILAR to changi airport ar!
i wonder who built it first
lazy to wikipedia it la
we reached back in copenhagen at 11pm, and there were no direct trains to lund c
due to it being a may day holiday, and there were no buses back to klostergarden too
end up we had to take a train to malmo c, bus to varnhem, bus to lund sodertull
we met 2 lost holland boys and kind of showed them how to get to lund
but when they reach lund, they still took a cab i think
cos it was so late already
Conclusion:
NO! i will definitely not go back to Amsterdam!
unless it is to visit the outskirts, see some nice tulips and windmills
but definitely not to the city area, where i'll just die breathing in all the smoke!
