Rate This City: Day 46 - Amsterdam

[Codeine Bryant]

Sorry I gotta call major BS on this. I been Dam like 7/8 times and it was more than friendly.

Also it is very diverse. That’s why I wonder where or how you guys travel. Just got to Melkweg in Friday or Saturday or just chill in the town and you see everyone

Even saw so many brothers and sisters with all types of shops there

Lol that was my experience. Why would I lie about such a thing?

I said it was a beautiful country and I enjoyed the sightseeing and walking around.

Not my fault bartenders gave me dirty looks, were appalled I threw a euro note on the counter and waited for me to pick it up and hand it to them, audibly sighed when I was counting through Euro coins, and then would go and spark up a convo and smile with a white person 10 seconds later

Had similar experiences with impatience and just disdain that I wasn't fluent in Euro currency or immediate with my decision making at several restaurants during my stay

Never saw any locals or white people get treated or looked at the way I was at times

Was treated like a second class citizen as a colored American during my stay there. I felt it. So did my cousin who was with me. He's British but could tell the vibes I was getting because I was American.

If you think I'm lying, good for you

I only like Spain a lot more because of the women. I shyt you not, it’s almost like women don’t give a fukk. Women with boyfriends, husbands, whatever you wanna call them, still all coming at me.

Granted, I was there in a certain capacity which brings attention, but I’ve never had so many women constantly making passes at me over me doing absolutely nothing.

but if you going for drugs, just go to Amsterdam...

I'm going more for the ladies, Spain better u say?

I can just visit Amsterdam if it ain't pippin like that

I like the fact it's more relaxed there in Amsterdam but if Spain is more poppin...

Fly to Amsterdam, buy the weed, then fly to Spain. That’s what I did this past July...

nothing like hearing “Rico” while you “slamming ass”

Was that this year? How was Oktoberfest?

you cant go coffee shops in London and walk around all day smoking weed, its not the same experience

people also love walking by the canal's, the atmosphere is nice when the weather is good and the red light district no matter how cheesy it is, its a funny signt in the evening when everyone was drunk or eating just walking around

I was referring to you saying it was cheap bro. I’ve been there multiple times for leisure & work & didn’t find it cheaper than London.

Had a job offer there too but the rental prices were too similar to London so I would have actually been losing money if I did move.

The red light district is ok if you’ve never been but it’s literally just pubs and shytty sex shows. Plus people gawking at the women behind the windows

cheap for 3/4 days id say
i rented out a big cheap party house 15min walk away from the main part, nice location, had mad alcohol there so didnt have to buy any
mostly spent on weed and getting around

for a week probably not that cheap

I went in 2018. It was dope.

Munich itself where Oktoberfest takes place is alright ( I ended up in Berlin at the end of my trip and I had a much better time there)

But the festival is pretty cool. Huge campground, kind of has a carnival vibe too it (rides and carnival food all around the beer halls). That being said the beer halls are dope, food was great. Went with some friends and we‘d get there early find a table next to a group of girls and we’d just get drunk and start dancing on tables singing all the songs and shyt. Everyone was there to have a good time. And there are six different beer halls so you can bounce around or pick a new one every day. Not terribly expensive either depending on how you approach the whole thing.

some of the older German folk can be a little racist but, for the most part i didn't encounter that too often.

Overall its a great experience. i recommend everyone do it at least once, for the atmosphere alone.

I had a completely different experience. I used to live 5 minutes from the Dutch border so I was in holland almost every day. I’ve been to Amsterdam maybe 15 times. I’ve always got along well with Dutch people. Now Germans, that’s a different story. I hated them and they hated me

Was ??!!!

Anyway, the Dutch in Limburg are sort of like Germans anyway.

As for Gerrmans, yeah. Especially the ones outside of Berlin, Bayern, Baden-W and Frankfurt .

Personally I am getting bored of the antics of ALL continental Europeans.
