Oh Dam

Amsterdam was super insane...craziest place i've ever been.  We stayed at the Bulldog, a hostel, directly in the middle of the Red Light District.  At first I thought ehh it wont be that weird but let me tell you something...the red light district is filled with just about the wierdest people in the entire world and is the creepiest shit ive ever seen.  Women in windows, guys trying to fight you, the whole thing was wierd but interesting.  Our hostel was connected to a coffee shop, or the place were you go to get high.  Lots of people smoke in amsterdam and the language/people are hilarious.  For example, there are like all these rivers (they dutch call them channels), and we were getting directions to a museum and this crazy dutch women explained to us that it was "the schlecond schlannel on the right" or for what we interpreted as the english version "second channel on the right", but let me tell you it was super confusing and we often found ourselves roaming these crazy streets called like shiznkugelnipnip and freebergensticken.  We also thought it was funny to just start speaking jibberish at people in hopes thatt they would understand what we were saying.  Not gonna lie the trip was pretty much a daze but i do remember finding our way to the Roor store, which was an amazing find by heffe, and drinking absinthe.  I just got home and took a long shower...i've never felt so dirty in my life.
