Chronus Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) It looks like I'm going to Amsterdam towards the end of this month, perhaps as early as 21st July until either 31st July or 1st August. Is anyone in the Netherlands? Anyone up for a quick informal meet-up? And any advice what to do and see there? They're having the Machine Dance World Championships in Zwanenburg just outside Amsterdam - and there's a 2-story go-kart track there at the Silverstone Party Centre. I want to see the Amsterdam Arena as well as all the usual things, seeing the Windmills, buying some Gouda or Edam cheese from the cheese markets, the clubs in the weekends, Wu Tang Clan concert at Paradiso on 25th July, Rembrandt's House, Anne Frank's House, the Van Gogh museum, floating flower market, the canals, biking to other towns, etc etc Edited July 10, 2010 by Chronus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I feel like Amsterdam is also famous for something else, if only I could put my finger up on it... Best of luck with the GTG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I guess I should have posted earlier! And hope Dutchy gets a look in here. Looks like there are 3 or 4 of us going, but I'm the only one into watches... I'm sure I can leave those 3 at a privehuis for an afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Well, I love A'Dam and GTG's ;-) I'm away untill july 25th included, but if you guys decide to have a coffe shop meeting or even better a redlight district one, I would seriously consider to join after that.

camiel Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I need to be in Holland on the 27th (not Amsterdam, but Holland is not that big), so that would suit me well. Wanna catch a ride from Brussels Stephane? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 YES! Maybe you can stay in Holland and never referee a Man Utd match ever again. (note : to those that don't know, this guy was Man Utd's player of the season the past 2 years) Please can I come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Got some eMails... It seems that we could have two more attendees from the netherlands We should decide which date precisely. I would choose the 27th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs1971 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 The 27th or 29th would be fine with me! @Andy: I don't like bananas. I prefer ping pong balls instead, since I'm more the sportive type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 27th is best for me, I'll be busy on other days. First time I'm going there. Will have to get away from my non-watch-loving friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
