Amsterdam

Amsterdam is the city of indulgence. But at the same time it is only that way to foreigners, to the Dutch, these 'indulgences' are what they are and exist as a part of their culture. The four nights I was there I saw no brawls and no drugged up prostitutes (they definitely didn't seem that way). And I thought about a typical night at the cross; one fight is a minimum, and all the stories about going into strip clubs and seeing the opposite of the beautiful confident women behind the windows I saw in Amsterdam. It's crazy how drugs and sex can become commonplace when the law decides they are.

Smoke Sativa if you want to have control of your limbs,

Amsterdam passed in a haze. I felt like nothing was real from the second or third day until we left for Berlin and even then the feeling didn't wear off completely until after a day or two in Berlin.

Another highlight included eating a bacon, egg and avocado sandwich on our first day at Rogh's Deli. And NO I was not under the influence of anything. Just missing good food.
