Yet again, another failed attempt to try and get my bank account set up in Amsterdam. Matt and I went all the way to the bank and when we got there they could not do anything to help me transfer my accounts. Yet another obstacle, though the trip was not all bad. Matt and I stumbled upon a sweet cheese shop, best decision ever. We got to walk around and try all the cheese while a lady told us about the cheeses. I can’t remember one thing about the cheeses besides the fact that they were so tasty. Walking around Amsterdam is not like walking around other places, you can just pick a direction and find cool things that you can just hang out and do stuff. When we got back we went to Kathy’s birthday dinner. We made a Mexican feast; it defiantly made me miss back home a lot. I don’t think I’m getting home sick, just missing certain parts of back home. I am defiantly missing making pancakes whenever I want. Oh well, I suppose I must get used to it out here, six months is quite the amount of time. I was thinking about this the other day with my friend Megan, we were so sad to leave home and all our friends but after these six months we are going to be even sadder to leave Amsterdam and all our friends here. After Kathy’s birthday we went out to the Sugar Factory. We had our tickets pre printed on the internet and they didn’t let us in. Just because we were from America/Canada, as soon as I spoke English in front of the bouncer he told me to get the refund. It was actually quite amazing how just that little bit of racism got my blood boiling. I could not imagine how people must feel when it is actual racism that they are confronted with. After that big ordeal we went to Paridiso, the club that used to be a church. It was great, but expensive to get in. The picture is from where we were dancing at the club, it is behind the DJ's, it was great. After I grab a beer at the bar, some drunk guy wasn’t watching where he was walking and he totally knocked my beer all over me! I was so pissed, and told him to pay me for it. And after Parker and Matt backed me up, we got my money back and got a new one. So much fun in Amsterdam, I don’t think I would be able to have two nights of that in one weekend. When I woke up this morning, I started what is quickly becoming my daily routine, fill the espresso machine, pour a bowl of cereal, read and eat while the espresso makes itself, then listen to some great music while I eat and drink. Today I decided to rediscover a bit of Temper Trap, if you have not heard them it is worth a bit of youtube-ing and listening to their stuff. I still think that going to see them live with Pepe was by far the best concert I have been to. Any ways I am hoping to have a productive day in this gloomy weather place, so we will see how that goes.
