| 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!!! :haha: :haha: :haha: :stongue: :stongue: :stongue: I was so stunned...out of all things about TO, Amsterdam people know the Blue Jays!!! :stongue: :stongue: :stongue: |

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 off to Europe one of these days and just party it up ;) You and I have such similar personalities. |

That is all nice and good unless you have some nice stuff and you're sharing a room with 6 other people...I personally couldn't trust anyone I don't know at all and I have a few nice things I travel with...most of the time I'm not even in the room - running around the city and seing sights...room is for sleep...so my suitcase was always in the room. :happy2: Oh yeah and having your own bathroom/shower is quite a convenience too :p...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 :eyespop:
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 ;) :toothless ...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?"
