zoony Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Bring lots of clear eyes, condoms, and snacks . And a toothbrush. That's about all you'll need. In all seriousness, have fun! If you have any spare time you ought to go see the Anne Frank house... might not be the thing to do on a 4 day bachelor party, but it is definitely worth seeing, and you'll have a good story to tell about Amsterdam in more 'proper' settings. ....

I've actually already discussed doing some legitimate sightseeing with a few of the guys that are going. We are obviously going to party it up - but this could be a once in a lifetime oppurtunity to see some great things, and i for one don't want to pass that up. Granted, we will probably see those great things in a different frame of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsHokieFan Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I went there in October 2002 Go see Anne Frank House Go to the Hienekan Musesm See the art muesems To be honest, I thought the "partying" there was far far overrated. There is a lot to see, but as a party city, I think people are just too stoned to get out and have a blast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Also, be very careful walking around the city. There are a ton of crazy drivers, public transits, bikers, and pedestrians everywhere. Literally... take a single wrong step and you can get creamed. We learned the hard way... Amsterdam is not the greatest place to walk around off-kilter. And I agree with SHF's comments. We took the tour of the Heinken brewery... it was pretty cool and pretty cheap, iirc. And a good way to pass the time while your buzz is wearing off.

rincewind Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Thanks for the advice! The guy who's party it is has been there before. He also suggested we check out the Anne Frank house (he and his fiance went there on 'shrooms and ran into someone from our home town - WOW!). I just hope we all make it back in one piece.

DCsportsfan53 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I almost got to go for the cup a couple years back. I will get there eventually.

You will be just fine We encountered some strange stuff in the red light district though. It probably is best to avoid that place after 3 am, becomes a bit spooky Went to Club Paridiso, that was a great time It was a lot tamer then I thought it would be though The transportation system in that city is great also, so you'll have no trouble getting around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rincewind Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Bring Viagra and plenty of it. Its funny - some people automatically think of the legal drugs and some think of the red light district first (i fall into the former). As far as the red light district goes - i was made an honest man on June 18th, 2005. Of course i can still look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopper Dave Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Get blitzed and go to the museums. I've heard it's the most unintentionally funny thing in the world. Smoke a blunt for me, brother. I'll do the same for you at Bonnaroo (i.e. Amsterdam times 100) this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsHokieFan Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Ah the lawn in front of the Van Gogh muesem Funny story about that with me. My boys and I were walking from the muesem heading in some direction to catch a cab. Well we were not all in sober states, and it was pouring rain and the wind was blowing at some riddiculous speed (biggest storm in Europe in 5 years was hitting that day) Well we are walking along and we see this nice lady on a bicycle ride past us. We turn around for a minute because we see a half pipe and deicde to run up it When we turn back around a huge gust of wind blows, and boom we see that lady knocked off her bike, on the ground, with the bike on top of her Unfourtantley we were laughing too hard to help her out Every dam woman is like 6'2 there, and they all ride bikes from the 1970s. So I guess the gust of wind plus her height knocked her off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Dave Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 bonnaroo sucks go to amsterdam Next time Radiohead, Tom Petty, Beck, Elvis Costello, Matisyahu, Phil Lesh, and Damian Marley are playing in Amsterdam, and when I can drive to Amsterdam in 11 hours, and when there's a mile long stretch of vendors selling EVERY substance under the sun, I'll go to Amsterdam. In the meantime, I'll stick with Bonnaroo. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer a three day festival full of the best music in the world to a city full of smelly Dutch people. That said, I'd absolutely love to go to Amsterdam. It's on the top of my list for international travel. But being that it's infeasable for me at this point, and given that Bonnaroo, somewhere I'd rather go anyway, isn't, I'll take Bonnaroo.
