Amsterdam.

I am back! from a weekend car trip to the land of sex and pot. Yes, plenty of sex shops around plus the red light district, aquarium style (as with Singapore's Geylang, maybe except that the girls here have bigger boobs) and also plenty of "coffeeshops" to smoke pot in.

I would say that Amsterdam is really a happening party city, but its not really my kind of city. Haha.. i dont know why but the city vibes i get are different. when im in germany, i feel happy and like interested to know about everything, like i want to explore the whole place but when i was in amsterdam it was just pot, pot and more pot (for some people) and it was more like a GIANT club (with streets) where there is nothing else to do but party.

being a nonsmoker i had to tolerate (endure would be a nicer word) 3 days of 2nd hand smoke from cigarettes as well as weed. no, i didnt wanna try. im not a wimp but, its just not my kinda thing. a friend got really stoned after smoking and eating space cake (ala weed cake) - like you could see that the look in his eyes were different. and when i touched him his whole body was rigid and stiff and he took like 10seconds to reply you when you spoke to him. scary.. i dont like :/ and 2nd hand weed smoke also not very fun cos after that you suffer the bad side effects without the high, like paranoia. i kept thinking someone was walking behind me and tapping me on the shoulder. sheesh.

oh but the heineken brewery was nice! haha.. just a heineken world, complete with 3D simulator beer ride hahaha.. but it was cool. 3 beers for 10 euro, and i have to admit the heineken in the brewery was a lot stronger than the ones i have tasted in Singapore. So much so that i was a little oozy at 6pm hahaha too damn early. but it was cool, and a coupla heineken coasters would make great souvenirs haha :P

i wanted to post pics but the blogger image thingy always goes down on me. so forget it.. i shall go to bed.

ps. lily, chat with me on msn and i will tell u more about your beloved land of sex and pot. hahaha...
