font class="post"1b,121b,121I'll be there I think. It's around the corner from my place. Go there by bike.b,121How about we meet up for a beer somewhere in town?
I heard that they talk about the weather constantly, and that's all they ever talk about it. (Speaking of which, today's weather was pretty interesting. Rain kept faking me out. It'd stop for a bit, and then it'd pour, and then it'd stop, and then pour.)b,121b,121I also heard they eat chocolate sprinkle sandwiches. The horror. (I actually gave one a try the other day. Pretty tasty actually. Chocolate and bread. Can't really go wrong.)

So, I haven't tried the herring yet, but it's on the list. Where's your favorite frites place? I've been to Vleminckx on Voetboogstraat, and those were solid. I've also heard good things about Mannekin Pis on Damrak.b,121b,121While I'm at it, where should I go for the realest Surinamese and Indonesian joints? Actually, I'll take any food suggestions.b,121b,121And I'll definitely be at Struick.

font class="post"1b,121b,121The Amsterdammers are quite different from the rest of Holland which indeed may have to with the fact the whole city is flooded with tourists throughout the year.b,121Also Amsterdammers have a tendency to stick to the stuff that's going on in their own city and consider it to be the best there is.b,121If you look to the southern region of Holland (below the river we say) there's a certain kind of coziness that I kind of miss in the Randstad. People tend to stick together a little more and it's very easy for an outsider to get in.b,121A large part of the younger (25-40) crowd in Amsterdam seems to be kind of stuck up and too wrapped up in their own hipness.b,121b,121Nevertheless, a great city that I enjoy visiting a lot.
font class="post"1b,121b,121This dude... he got his team mate Demy de Zeeuw's girl pregnant, his own girl pregnant and yet another girl pregnant, so he made a last minute move to WBA to get away from shit. A Dutch version of Agbonlahor. img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /1
