Living is Easy in Amsterdam
Amsterdam, like any city is what you make it.
I’ve been doing nothing in Amsterdam except enjoying the days. I’ve been enjoying the days “SO MUCH” that I’m often sleeping before dark and waking at resonable working hours, wtf!? We could blame such abnormalities on the time change but I believe Jet lag to be a myth.
If you drink coffee all day and just wander around eating random pieces of pizza and pie on the streets, you typically pass out early. Sadly,I have a mission I must accomplish.
My mission is to enjoy as much of “Amsterdam” as possible until that frightful day appears where I wake up and say “I have to get the $#@!$ out of here”. Until that day, I will make the most of my days, indeed.
That hotel I was in was a rats nest, literally. At like 7am after waking up and doing a vigilant workout routine, (ok no workout routine) just some cardio with a sip of Grolsch for good measure, I lay on my bed… I then heard something that sounded like someone in my room.
There was a rat, dressed in most mundane gothic garb doing a tribal dance on my bag, I was like “WTF are you doing here you revolting rat!?”. He didn’t answer he just ran head first into a wall then down some crack, I knew it was time to leave. This wasn’t your average rat, it was an Amsterdam Red Light District Rat, the worst kinda rat or so I’d assume.
Found this hostel it’s like 10 euro a night and no rats, the other place was 50 euro a night. They have something inhumane like 18 person dorms, I got a 4 person after telling them anything more was uncivilized.
I still find myself sleeping in all my clothes with my bags locked up. Man for 10 euro I could get myself a nice little hotel room in Asia, maybe even wifi, maybe even… that is no longer the case. But you don’t have to suffer like this when you can find amsterdam apartments for rent for a much more luxurious, comforting stay.
If I stay here for the weekend, will go back to rat motel as they charge 50 euro a night, for a dorm? Get a life. Luckily my dorm has 3 other dudes kinda like me with glazed eyes and not much to say. People just sleep there. Since my schedule is so weird, I never see anyone except hear this guy who snores like it’s a sport.
I walked into this one room when I first got here haha it had this old guy sitting in some euro briefs eating a banana while watching TV. I immediately knew I wasn’t staying there even before he said “Hey, it’s full, get out of here”.
Supposedly if you stay in these types of uncivilized accomodations you can run into surly characters as described, creepy.
So yeah, I’m just hanging out and of all things, buying shoes. I had a falling out with my right soul and decided it was over. Bought a new pair for 85 euro and they are worse then my g0d d@mn chinese ones, believe it or not. Blister city, a blockbuster blister event of the summer or whatever. Wretched.
Maybe tonight I’ll go for some drinks, then again if you just chill during the day and drink copious amounts of coffee, your eyes just tend to close by themselves around 9pm, it’s treu.
Tips hat,
P.S: I HIGHly recommend Amnesia Haze & White Russian. Hmmmm
