partied out already!

Hey guys! So im in amsterdam now. feel like ive been here a bloody week already and i only got here yesterday morning. voice is gone already haha. My flight was pretty good got some sleep and arrivved into amsterdam at 5.30am. It was a lot quiter and less hectic at botgh the airport and train station which was nice so I could take my time and relax. Met a kool american guy on the train who had been in ghana as well but we arrived at central station then parted ways. So there I am wanderingthe streets of amsterdam at 5.30 in the morning wearing nothing but a flimsey t shirt and a scarf, holding a massive djembe drum and a huge backpack in the freezing cold and rain completely aware that my surroundings had just changed to the extreme in less than 10 hours. eventually found the place and arrived the same time as this guy called Ze from the UK. They told us we couldnt check in until later so we had some tea and headed into town to check stuff out. The place was absolutely dead until like midday but we checked out the ocean and just got to know each other etc. Ended up going to the sex mueseum whivh was disturbing/hilarious/interesting all at the same time and didnt get back to the hostel until about 3 in the afternoon. Met lots of new people and just hung out for the rest of the afternoon. there is soo much weed here and a lot of shit talkers but Ive met some really kool people too. Ive had no trouble meeting people and everyone is fun and really nice but I still wish I was here with a good friend just to share it with. it makes it kind of empty when theres no 'love''. Had dinner with some new zealand, south american and an american chick and then we just all sat around drinking talking and went out at about 11. the tourist night life here is pretty terrible really bad bad music and taste but with the right people and enough substance you can have a great night. met this really funny australian guy and girl and we basically adopted each other because the new zealanders got a bit frightened of our outlandish behavior and became quite placid. We went to about three bar/clubs (ladies get in for free everywhere here) and just danced up a storm and had a ball. Wandered to the red light district picking up random people along the way. The food here is so decadent, its especially crazy coming from ghana walking past these shops with like pileas abnd piles of crossaints and waffles and icecream its just like what the hell! got some chips from a store and the guy was black and we were just joking around together. i realised our interaction was really familar and then realised he was from ghana! haha i was so excited and we hugged. hes doing really well here so good on him! the red light district was pretty disturbing actually all trhse really bneauitufl woman standing in red light booths in their underwear trying to seduce people./ i brought it upon myself to start interviewing men who would walk out from various windows about their experiences which was quite interesting. basically they all think they get wexactly the asme deal but they really dont. ewveryone pays 50 euro but experiences differed from one guy getting half an hour of sex a chat and massage to another guy getting only 15 minute where he didnt finish then getting the boot! haha. anyway my shoes and feet were soaking wet and so at about 4.30 we wandered home . Sat around at the hostel for awhile then went to bed. This hostel is pretty kool, free internet real;ly good music and nice people. Cant be bothered typing anymore but today i went to the van gogh muesuem which was alright if you like that sort of thing (sorry greg) i mean i could appreciate it all but i cant say i was wetting myself with excitement or anything. came back here at about 3.30 and have just been chilling out talking with people. think ill stay in tonight but who really knows with amsterdam...am glad to be leaving for germany on wednesday. this place tires you out!! cant believe im coming back to australia on sunday! whoot im excited as . queensland baby. love you all x
