ok please help me with my trip...
me and my friend are coming to holland in febuary ( especially for TE 2003 )...and here is my plan. Please tell me what you think about it.
lets say TE is on febuary 16 in Ultrecht ( should be there ( ? ) )
we arrive in amsterdam on febuary 14
on febuary 14 we take a train to ultrecht
we sleep in ultrecht for two nights ( we calm down and during the day we try to find the place where TE will be held )
the day following TE we take a train to The Hague
we sleep two nights at the hague and on the third night we go to club eau ( i must see that place! )
the day following club eau we take the train to amsterdam sleep there one night and the next day we come home
what do you think about it?
thankx |

I think it's fair to say CLub Eau isn't open on mondays/tuesdays ;)
you'd have to wait a whole week for that and go on saturday...
it's Utrecht btw :p
i think you can better book a hotel/hostel in amsterdam cuz that city is much more fun to explore than the city of Utrecht! and just go to Utrecht on the day of TE :) |

Also, if you're coming from a place that uses the AM/PM time format and you don't know the 24 hour time format, prepare and learn it BEFORE going anywhere in Europe and most of Asia! I'll give you a chart here:
(24 hour format) --- (12 hour format)
00:00 --- 12:00 AM (Midnight at the beginning of the day)
01:00 --- 01:00 AM
02:00 --- 02:00 AM
03:00 --- 03:00 AM
04:00 --- 04:00 AM
05:00 --- 05:00 AM
06:00 --- 06:00 AM
07:00 --- 07:00 AM
08:00 --- 08:00 AM
09:00 --- 09:00 AM
10:00 --- 10:00 AM
11:00 --- 11:00 AM
12:00 --- 12:00 PM (Noon)
13:00 --- 01:00 PM
14:00 --- 02:00 PM
15:00 --- 03:00 PM
16:00 --- 04:00 PM
17:00 --- 05:00 PM
18:00 --- 06:00 PM
19:00 --- 07:00 PM
20:00 --- 08:00 PM
21:00 --- 09:00 PM
22:00 --- 10:00 PM
23:00 --- 11:00 PM
24:00 --- (no expression) (Midnight at the end of the day)
The expression "24:00" isn't used everywhere and digital watches don't display "24:00" as it means the same thing as 00:00 at the beginning of the next day but, for timetables, it MAY display this time. This means that an event ends at the minute after 23:59 on the specific day. Don't get confused with this too much. "24:00" should NEVER be used, however, some people use it and it's improper.
Also, in many places in Europe and Asia, dates are done in the DD/MM/YYYY format or, Day, Month, Year format. Sometimes, numerically expressed dates are in the YYYY-MM-DD format because that's the ISO-8601 standard and has been the standard in China, Japan, and Korea for many years. Those are the ONLY 2 formats you'll come across in Europe and Asia. Here's an example: "18/02/2002" means "The 18th day of the 2nd month in the year 2002". "2002-02-18" means the same.
If anyone has any questions, LET ME KNOW! |

At this moment club kremlin doesn't give parties.
because cubic the place were they give the parties is bankrupt,
Kremlin is trying to move on but at the moment they don't know how but they will continue.
In zwolle there is also a club called the q (www.the-q.nl) it's a small club but they have a good line up every weekend. |

No problem: I LOVE talking about time/date formats, travel, and how things are done in different regions in the world!
Here's something I've been wondering: In the 24 hour format, when the time is on the hour, like at 02:00, 19:00, etc., how do you say those times? I know you don't say "Nineteen O'Clock" but, I hear the expression "2 O'Clock", even in places where 24 hour time is standard. Is the correct way of saying it "X Hours" ("X" means any value between 0 and 23)? I know that in the US military, they use 24 hour format but, they do it a bit different: There's NO colon (":") between the hour and minute values and they say 19:00 like this: "Nineteen Hundred Hours". Isn't it confusing? It's only 19 hours past Midnight and they say 19 hundred. I think that's why Americans think that the 24 hour format is confusing, because of what the military does.
I use the 24 hour format and I've been pronouncing it "13 hours, 14 hours etc." And for times like 08:00, 10:00, etc., I say "8 O'Clock, 10 O'Clock, etc". For 00:00/24:00, I say "Midnight". For times between 00:00 and 01:00, I saw "X minutes past Midnight" ("X" means any value between 1 and 59"). Is all this correct?
Tell me how you say it in The Netherlands and everywhere else. Also, if the pronunciations are different, please show examples like I've done (Only use English, as I only know English). This will help everyone. Later, I'll return to this thread with some website that's good for travel ANYWHERE. Highly useful! |
