Chill man.
Last post seemed to get stuck, I think it is there now... in a hostel just outside of Amsterdam and dont want to mess with their language setting too much, so a lot of this is worked out by rote.
David and Amy are sneered at by other guests here for going to bed early. Given that they also wake up earlier than most of the guests, I guess we can forgive them.
The atmosphere, apart from being laced with permanent traces of THC is pretty good by what seems to be a well worked out plan. People get time to have a few drinks or smokes, then the outside areas get closed and everyone is forced into a cosy area with matresses and couches. If you dont like it you can always go to bed, so people that stay are all talkative and open.
Sick of cities now. A few cool things around, like the lighting in Amsterdam is strung up on wires between buildings on opposite sides of the road. Even funnier in one street where something has happened and so all the concrete connectors show stress and the walls show significant cracks. Not something most people look for in a city, but it was something different.
Pity I didnt get to go back to that lighting store... stoner culture + pretty shiny = cool toys.
My shoes have just about crippled me. Not from blisters or anything reasonable, it is pretty much the fact i am wearing shoes is causing muscle stress. Without shoes I am fine, but the drug culture around makes it unsafe to walk without them. Even the local police told me so.
My lungs also didnt agree with the amount of passive smoke I inhaled last night. Tonight I have been out back with the heavy drinkers, so hopefully tommorow I should be OK.
