Hamsterjam

Greetings gentle reader,

Well it's been the best four days.. Amsterdam is one of the coolest destinations I've visited. The architecture is amazing, everywhere you look there are fascinating and unique buildings and structures to take in.. The locals are so damn friendly, the whole atmosphere was welcoming -and, yes- very chilled. Also, the public transport infrastructure is second to none, step off the plane, walk straight into the railway station into Centraal station in the middle of the city, and then straight onto a clean tram that runs efficiently on time.
It doesn't help half bring home just how much of the arse-end of Europe England really is.

And, yes, aside from admiring buildings and marvelling at the customer service and integrated transport system -we also had a a helluva laugh. Highlight of the trip include:
  • Boom Chicago - a comedy theatre that has shows pretty much every night. We saw a show called "Me, myspace & iPod" which was really hilarious.
  • It's kinda like "Who's Line Is It Anyway" but with far more audience interaction than you'd expect from that kind of show and some very, very funny gags..
  • The Heineken Experience which proved to be more fun than youe avaerage museum, well it cannot help being more fun - it's a frigging brewery!! Lots of Heineken can be consumed as part of the ticket price too!!
  • The Sex Museum which is a celebration of sex (well, mostly porn, but you cannot have one without the other) throughout the ages. Not half as tacky as it actually sounds, and actually a really interesting couple of hours.
  • The Dolphins - a few very agreeable hours were spent "under the sea" in this little place. Very cool indeed!


  • Now, it is very nice to see the kiddie-winkies again, but it was quality to spend a few days just with the wife. Almost feel calm enough to go face the crap at work again now..
