Amsterdam baby!!

You're never gonna guess what this post is about....:D yeah ok you got it....Am(star)dam dudeee!!! sweeett...what does mine say? DUDE what does mine say? SWEET!!!
So this how you go to Amsterdam...you take the train...and...................

Puff! you're there! There are shitloads of bikes in Holland man...but that's not the point of this post...

Sooo...after we got there..we went to our awesome Hostel ---->> MEETINGPOINT!! If you're planning to go...i kinda recommend it i mean it was cheap (20 euro per night) and it was chilled even though we were in a big room..no incidents or anything and the bar downstairs is cool also...but i guess thats kinda how all the hostel are like...anyways..BOOK IN ADVANCE!!:D like everything is packed and shit....crazy european tourist...And this is our cool view from our room...right into Red Light District close to all the Coffee Shops and not only that:)


So the first decent thing we visited was Rembrandt museum ..no idea why... but yeah it was actually cool...we had those phone thingies so we can listen to the guide in english and stuff..and basically we just wrambled around Rembrandt's hourse and stuff...And yeah..this is just something that came to us...some new futuristic art thing...so you are in the artist's home, and looking in his mirror, and taking picture/filming yourselfs, like our reflections...so we took picture of our reflection which was in the mirror, in rembrandts home...yeah ok nevermind...

And this is a very random thing to do in Amsterdam...but what the hell...since we paid the ticket there...
Uuu....Heineken shop thingie...like...this big shop...with all kinds of heineken stuff...like clothes, stuff...and they had this huge logo of ice on a metal wall...we couldnt explain how was the ice holden up there...but yeah...magic always works...
Next stop --> Sex museum...actually we saw Torture Museum before that but it was really lame so i didnt put any pictures of that here....like i guess we all agreed it was a total waste of 7 euros...but anyways...sex museum...:) it features all kinds of stuff...mostly penises ..and yeah...pictures, movies, phone sex, big penises, some manequins no idea how to spell that ...why doesnt this blogspot have check spelling thing....man...this shit sucks...like pictures are hard to handle...no spell check...and here's Kiki enjoying one of the pieces exhibited...

Some random shot of Amsterdam streets...its actually really cool to walk around Amsterdam...like lots of stuff to see...and it has some nice feeling to it...i donno...
And then we went to Madame Tussauds:) that was so cool like i've never been to one before...but this one was cool...and we had some online tickets which were half of price (=10Euro still) and we skipped the line cuz we had those reservations...but thats only part of the coolness....cuz we got some really funny shots in there...like here this grandma who supposably wrote some famous book is like...copying my good looks..
And some random dude was being gay and stuff and giving ppl random stuff to wear:)
And here i was like on top of the main square in Amsterdam and shit...
hihi:) Mona Lisa and the 5 Computer Scientist: Vlad Me Fossil Karolis and Kiki:D
the pope was cool...like fun to party with.....
...and stuff :P ...
and some random Spiderman picture...actually there were like alot of things in there...so i guess you just had to be there to get what im on about...
Uuu...house of Bols!! Yeah ok...before that...we visited the Amsterdam Doungen (spell check) which was really fun and scary...but we werent allowed to film or take pics inside...but yeah...even though it was like 20 euros or something...it was worth it...like really spooky fun and actors and shit and even a trolley (spell check really!! how did people use to write in ancient times without spell check...man...) so ok...coming back to house of Bols...so Bols apparently is like the oldest liquer (sc) brand and this house of Bols...is suppose to give you like an all senses experience and stuff...it was really awesome...like the colors of everything were so happy:D
And there were some tastes and then smells that you could try and then try to guess what flavour it is..and then check if you were right and all that...it was really awesome..like i never smelled so much in my entire life..and so many flavours coming right at you...
And then something for your hearing and sight....like this club kinda vibe...and with those videos about Bols and girls and like a cool add or something...
And the best part was left for the end, cuz in our ticket price (10 Euros) we had included a Free super awesome Cocktail of our choice...and this lady was quite handy with the shaking and mixing and pouring and all that jazz...
here are our cool cocktails and fossil and me in the background ...mine is the green one:D
Annnnddd...not only that we got those cool cocktail which otherwise would have cost us around 7 euros...but after that...we were allowed to try different Bols flavours....and so we did...:D
Before...
During...
...and another round...
After:D

So yeah i really recommend visiting House of Bols if you ever go to Amsterdam...its a short but very awesome visit....and it is right next to Van Gogh Museuuummm:D ....uuu group picture:D
The Dutch thing to do...
And maaan...you must try Haagen Dazs ice Cream!!!!! like...fuck Ben and Jerry's ...Nirvana...whatever Ice cream you thought was cool....damn...Haagen Dazs...unless they put some Hash or Mushrooms in it...its definetly the best thing ever!!
And yeah...last but not least...Cristina recommends Speak Easy Coffee Shop:D good shit...
Yeah no pictures from Red Light District cuz we weren't allowed to take pics and stuff and it didnt seem proper anyway but yeah....you know it! Anyways...if you wanna see more...try these links:

Cologne Trip

So the first thing about Koln is the huuuugeee ass cathedral right next to Hbf...maybe it doesnt look as huge in this picture but trust me...IT IS!! :)And then there are all kinds of weird shaped buildings like this one....which was design by this famous architect or something...
Or putting some big balls in front of the building:)
This one makes more sense, as it is the radio building or something like that....should look like so radio waves or some shit..
Now you gotta love this thing!! So the ppl on the sides are riding a bike, but also sitting at a bar and the dude in front is leading the way...and in front of the whole thing, but you cant see it from here is a huge ... damn i forgot how its called... thing with beer !! isn't that nice??!
There are also quite many statue ppl around Koln...like only in the platz in front of the Dom are like...10 or so...
And again ppl drawing with chalk on the street...now the one in Hamburg doesnt look so impressive anymore...i thought he was the only one doing it or something...but yeah...apparently there are many of those...
And this is definitely worth seeing in Koln!! Lindt chocolate museum!!!But unfortunately it was closed on mondays so we couldn't get inside!!! Damn!!! Next time for sure!!
And there's a Hard Rock Cafe in Koln...didn't know that....and man this is fucking expensive...like the tiniest thing in the gift shop...this really tiny guitar pick charm was like 6 euros...and i think that's the cheapest thing you could get there...so yeah..im starting to dislike Hard Rock Cafe...fuckers...
And we found King Kong in Koln!!!! Isn't he cuuuuuuteee...:D
[I was trying to look King Kong - ish ]
And Juicy cow!!:D

Hamburg trip

So yeah Hamburg was fun mostly because of aaaalll the ppl rambling around on the streets.. a nice diversion from the chilled Bremen city... like there were tons of shooops :D including kenvelo!! i have to go back there and try my discount k club member card:D

There were also looots of ppl showing off their talents on the streets of Hamburg...from gospel thingie to country music, from rapping by yourself at your mic to bringing whole rock band crew in the middle of the street and peforming.. there were also ppl drawing a huge ass picture only with colored chalk and ppl dancing and everything too bad we didnt have time to enjoy all of them:)
We also got to see some protests against Scientology and another one having something to do with China and stuff...the second one was almost like a parade...but my batteries were out :X

and here are some more pictures of Hamburg....

....we end up chilling in Balzac Caffee which is pretty much similar to Starbucks but for some reason i think i liked it even more...like...more cozy atmosphere and shit
why the fuck is it so complicated to handle those pictures man??...
