Nearing the end of Amsterdam :(
I'm afraid i haven't taken many photos because I've been enjoying the moment.
There was only person i met in Amsterdam that was a little bit mean and that was a German on a bike who nearly killed me because i was walking "home" and i looked to check nothing was coming, it was all dark around me, i step out, i get yelled at in German and the guy stops his bike skidding a bit right next to me. So we have a ... debate, i tell him it's 8pm and he has no light on, he says I'm blind. Some Italians hear us and start calling him an idiot and stop to watch. I'm enjoying this argument because I'm right but say goodbye nicely and he trundles off and switches his light on a few meters after.
Ahhhh, I MISS YOU TOO SAM MALONE.
Internet has been hard to find, currently on Graeme's laptop who has kindly let me stay at his with his two other friends, Kris and Jaimie.
The reason i am no longer in hostels is because my purse got stolen and so had no way of getting money... darned pickapockets :)
Dad sent me some money though! Due to me now not having to pay accomadation i have been eating like a Queen, and i havent had to go on the bar crawl either for extra cash!
Note to self: never work on a bar crawl again. It gets very boring, very quickly and the bars we go to are beyond awful :) though it's good to pretend to work if you fancy getting pissed for nothing.
Graeme made everything in his house himself, it's very cool... also he has a load of stuff from the Flying Pig because he does maintenance there so anything the hostel didnt want anymore he would take back, fix and have himself! teehee, his table has no legs!
So! I dearly miss my family and friends but I honestly do not feel like it is time to go home, I almost feel as though i don't want to face the reality of home and want to remain in this little travelling bubble where you meet new people everyday, the routine is that there is no routine because something always happens every day.
Graeme lets me sit on the back of his moped ^^ that's fun, he's probably the closest friend i have in Amsterdam. Unfortunately though we did spend a whole day just watching movies, eating awful food, drinking some rose (cba finding the fancy e) and talking. As we decided to call it a night and went to collapse in our beds Jaimie comes in from his night shift, turns the TV on, opens up a can of beer etc and well... i ended up wasting a day and night just staing at movies.
The Secretary was very good! The Incredibles is always an easy good film, monsters v aliens, cloudy with a chance of meatballs and now my brain has died.
And their cat looks at me funny.
Today i am to make myself a sausage butty with fried egg! Though we have run out of ketchup so i need to go get some before i delve into cooking. Today i am also going to go to the bar crawl and say goodbye to all my fellow employees :) such a mix bag of people:
Clara is the most beautiful french girl I've ever seen, Steve is American but i really good hearted one, Dan is Canadian he also offered his couch to me but it was further out of town and if i lived there id have to invest in a bike :\, James is from Manchester and good laugh, Ola is Polish, Seb is Romanian aaand Baz is the boss.
Oh and I'll go for a walk because i don't know this part of town that well yet.
The Flying Pig Uptown is definitly the best hostel going in Amsterdam, highly highly reccomend there, very relaxed atmosphere, efficient but easy going and yep.
Anywho, be back for a day then I'm stealing Martina and going to Switzerland.
