that is a quote from a sketchy man in the Red Light District with a British accent trying to sell tickets to a live sex show. two cheers for amsterdam!
no. we did not go to a sex show. but we are going to see Boom Chicago tonight. For those of you who don't know, we saw Boom Chicago at the Festival in Edinburgh two years ago. They are a hysterical improv/sketch comedy group and i am very excited to see them.
to begin at the beginning - i arrived in amsterdam on the 11th. I had the world's sketchiest cab driver (who literally took a taxi sign out of his back seat and stuck it to the roof of the car with suction cups). I got to Josh's hotel at 1 pm. Amazing. I headed off with his family to the Heineken Experience at at former Heineken factory. Don't go there. Unless you want to go on a ride simulating what it's like to be a Heineken Beer (aka stand on a step that girates while you watch an awkward video which includes getting "slapped" by the beer label haha). We had Indian Food for dinner and then Josh, Jordan and I headed off to explore the night life. We walked through the Red Light district... good times. After sketchy run in number 2 with a cab driver who had no clue where he was going we ended up at a coffeeshop called Amnesia that had a mezzuzeh in the doorway - points for them. Then we went back to the hotel. End of night one. Except there was a bench near a canal. and there were two ducks. but you kind of had to be there to understand the ducks so I'm moving on...
Josh and Jordan left for Ireland in the morning - fun times, except not. I slept in the hotel until check out time and then took a taxi to the hostel where i met up with mel and sasha. But the weather was gross. How much less fun is life in the rain??
ok apparently my time is running out in the internet cafe so i'm off to enjoy amsterdam.
stay tuned... linds
