The funniest thing that happened to me in Amsterdam was standing on the VIP stage of the Rio De Janeiro room during Innercity 2003 and a woman approached me and struck a converstaion...after some time she asked where I was from and I said Toronto...and the first thing that she said was...OOHHH BLUE JAYS!!! I was so stunned...out of all things about TO, Amsterdam people know the Blue Jays!!!

Travelling alone is key. So the stories of your red light district advertures don't follow you home.......

jk.

This summer, me and 3 friends are going to sensation. Chances are the 3 will back out because of a lack of funds and I'll end up going alone.

Oh I hear you on that one. It happens from everything from a regular club night to a big trip somewhere. For me, who is Mr. Planner (or Captain Planner as my g'f says it) with everything in my life, this is such a piss off. If you're going to go do something, and you say you're down, then DO IT.

Starsearcher; you and I need to fuck off to Europe one of these days and just party it up You and I have such similar personalities.

Oh yeah and having your own bathroom/shower is quite a convenience too ...but other than that the Flying Pig in Amsterdam is one of the best

i took a day pack..the only things i really cared about losing were documents and my camera. So i just carried them with me whenever i left the hostel or in the event of going to a club i locked it up and left it in the safe.

beyond tomorrow? never mind! People back out of plans on the same day now!

I never count on ANYBODY anymore.

Be your own person and rely on yourself only.

I did it ones and it was "ok"
travling in group is the real way to have fun

surprising how many people prefer alone, I guess it's a North American thing

Well for me it's more like this (the typical conversation)

Me: "I'm going to Amsterdam in 2 days"
Someone I know: "DUDE AWESOME you gonna smoke awesome joints!?"
Me: "You know there's more to do in Amsterdam than smoke joints"
Someoone I know: "Who cares you're in Amsterdam you gotta smoke something"
Me: "I want to go see Van Gogh, Rembrandt, and the arts and cultural events and museums...and go to Innercity"
Someone I know: "That's gay...boring"

...so therefore I am going alone ...plus the previously mentioned nobody can plan anything, plus it was literally a last minute dicision.


*EDIT*
Also when you go with a group of people you hardly ever meet anyone new cause you're always together as a group...you get to meet many more people if you're on your own It's quite fun actually

Sometimes, it's good to go with a friend who can play wingman for when you spot those 2 cute girls at the museum.

"Excuse me girls, we're lost, can you direct us into your pants?"
