Waz 4,226 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Must be 18 or 19 years ago I first went there, was sent there by work, some long days and some long nights, and then some days off to roam, beautiful city IMO, & cant say ive met any dutch I never liked, (some real strange ones though!). Worked there 3 or 4 times in my 20's. Last time I went was with the girlfriend, fcuk did we do some walking! cafe to cafe to cafe LOL. Thinking about heading back there next year for a long weekend, strictly museums and culture you understand.... Dont think id want to take my kids there though. Not till they are into their 20's and then id doubt they'd want me to take them there! LOL 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dare 1,103 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Few my mates seem to go for a weekend every month. Spend quite abit of money out there considering it's just a weekend they go for. Meant to have better bud out there but I'm guessing that may change now the states are starting to make it all legal? Still don't think the Dutch have been able to get a cheese that's on par with exodus though. I'd like to visit one day even though I don't smoke I'd probably take a few pulls when out there and pull a whitey lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
