Its been just 4 days on my Euro trip. I had just 2 things on my mind; the best tonic for life - work harder and party harder. After couple of days at office; once the butterflies had settled down; i had all my brains behind the party places ....
The came the trip to Nederlande and the trip was for just 24 hours. I did'nt wanna sleep overnight but travel and feel the world around. It all started off well in a bus to Amsterdam. As expected the trip was sure a story out from the Eurotrip movie. I found my way into the bus and found myself a place to rest my bottom. Then my sleepy co-passenger opened his eyes enough to stop me from sitting down and added that the seat is wet. Damn hiam man ! i turned around to my friend and told the situation in Kannada so that none understand my angst over the situuation. As i innovated to keep my bottom dry and settle down; the co-passenger looked at me and said 'tamil' . Huh ! pardon me .. what ? I thougth he was from Lebanon and wanted to talk to me. Then realized he was Ankur Pandey from Lucknow who had studied in Karnataka. My cursing in Kannada seemed to him like Tamil. Cool man ! nice was to make friends .... the next couple of hours of the bus journey we connected well and spoke about all that guys do ....
He aligned off at Edinhoven, bid adieu and my journey continued.
Next stop Amsterdam. Sure the place impressed right away. There were cycles all around. It was sunny and cold. The centraal area was crowded with travellers like us . A poster stuck out like a sore thumb in the delight. Then i realized that nudity in public is a legal affair there. Ooof ! that was some rude shock. Coming from the land of Ram sene and Shiv sene, this hard reality was a pleasant suprise. Bought a one day pass to get lost on the streets. It was a different routine in Dutch. As night fall came early, we went around to some of the best places to get the view under the lights.
We knew of this district which Amsterdam boasts about - The red light district. As we approached this area i was supriced to see all the tourists who had come to city were there. Sure the women loved the place. They were the ones who were the most revelers. I understood the importance of liberty that India doesn't have when it comes to women rights.
Sex sells!!!! its sold here open without any strings attached. Alcohol and drugs !!! i realized it the hard way that the drugs ( prescribed and regulated by the govt) is sold in all places.
On a whole the place is sure to come with the person you love and not to visit like stags !!!
