Still in Amsterdam
The
next morning I met one of my dorm mates and we went to mikes bike tour
together, the bike tour was pretty fun but I didn't like the bike they
gave me as usual everything is too small for me. The bike tour took us
to a cheese/clog factory, which was quite interesting. The tour guide
at the factory was a real character and after the tour he said I should
play football with the local team, which is soccer to Americans, then
he asked me how much I weighed and I replied 600 pounds. In hindsight I
shouldn't have said that but I added that I didn't know what that
converted to in kilos. A rather scary experience I had the day before
while walking in the main shopping street I and everyone else there too
saw a transvestite wearing just a nightie and spiked heels with leg
straps, hiding barely nothing, lots of people were surprised and
laughing but for some reason I wasn't shocked, I thought he/she had a
lot of balls, I mean guts! But I don't know what the point of it all
was.
I went to a
bookstore, which had lots of cool travelogues, which I have not heard
of, but the prices were too high. I must go back and write down some of
the titles when I meet Alex here later on in my trip. It was impossible
to find an Internet place that had USB, and the few that did have it,
they had disabled USB, they claimed USB could spread a virus. In
England and Scotland I didn't have this problem. On the train I had met
a couple from Canada and saw them again when walking in the red light
district and we agreed to meet for some beers the next night which we
did, the girl was really small and had eaten a whole "space cake" which
is a brownie with pot in it. She was falling asleep while we talked....
