I fly like paper, get high like planes

Hello all.... back i am from Amsterdam. It was a great trip, aside from the bed bugs that is. The night we got in is probably the funnest night I have had in Europe so far. We took off from John Lennon international airport. They had a room full of Beatles memorabilia, which was actually the first time i have seen any Beatles stuff in Liverpool.

Now that I think about it, it is kind of nice that Liverpool hasn't turned into a giant Beatles merchandise Kiosk.




PUBLIC SERVICE ANOUNCEMENT: Giant packs of cigarettes kill!


Anyways.... we meet a cute english girl on the plane who's friend gave us a lift from the airport to the middle of town. He was a real scouser, I couldn't understand a flippin word he said. But we made it in and headed out to check out the town.

Day 1

Before we set foot on the main square by our hostel, this guy in a band, Antwerp Gypsy Ska Orchestra, came up to us and gave us 2 free tickets to his show (He said he was only giving them to hot girls but apparently we were cute enough to get some). We had a few pints and watched Everton (the other premier league team based in Liverpool) play against a dutch team in a EUFA Cup qualifying game, kind of random that a Liverpoolian team was on TV in Amsterdam. We showed up to the show and Caspian hat dance was playing. Pretty much the coolest gypsy band i have ever seen.



We shook our asses for a while then Antwerp Gypsy Ska Orchestra came on. They were pretty boring so we left and checked out a few more bars.







The next day we checked out some museums. We went to the Rijks Museum(Rembrandt) and the Van Gogh Museum. Cool stuff.








The canals in Amsterdam were probably my favorite part, they are everywhere. They really have no purpose except for being awesome. Oh and house boats rock.



Oh and about 70% of the people in Amsterdam ride bikes around instead of cars.
They also have trams running in the streets between pedestrians cars and people, its kind of scary.

Day 2

when we were checking out an outdoor bizzar type street sale some people in costumes and stilts started dancing because... well i dont know dutch people are weird.


















We spent half the day riding the canals. We got off to see the ann franke house, just so happened it was Yom Kippour. Who knew? Well i guess jewish people knew, but we didnt.
We caught a liverpool f.c. Game in Amsterdam too, they tied. Just like last game. Bust last night they won 4-2 against Reeding, Torres had 3 goals, what a sexy man.






Day 3

















Day three was more walking around the city, more canals, and naps to get ready for an all-nighter before out 9am flight. We also discovered outdoor open urinals! Dan was so excited!








Huge Crowds

We met an american girl from minesota of all places who was working on her second bachelors degree and a guy from wales who spent half an hour telling us why we should be living in whales and not liverpool.

We found a place that served beer in goblets, they also loved The Temptations which was awesome.


Then Pints...

And Pints...

And Pints...


Finally it was time to get some McDonalds breakfast, orange juice, and it was time to catch our plane back to Liverpool.


Oh and here is a video of me dancing to Panic at the disco
