Amsterdam
I had 2 weeks vacation from work. The thing i missed the most. Vacation after working 9 to 12 everyfqy. A vacation is all of us needed. But unfortunately the first week I’ve used it to sleep at 5am and wake up at 2 pm and just be on netflix, windows down all the time. I went on some dates and it just made me realised something that got me into a deep sad emotion. Boys just want to fuck me. I was getting into this sad mood and one sunday 2pm when i woke up, i just felt hurt and sad and i said to myself, i have to travel or else i would regret that I’ve spent my holiday on bed feeling sorry for myself. So on that minute i went online, book a hostel and a bus ticket to Amsterdam. I’ve always wanted to go to Amsterdam. I’ve been saying that i might go to Amsterdam during my holiday.
I was determined to let my sadness go by traveling and experiencing a new experience.
I sent a message to Gab and Jess to have dinner that night because i was going to Amsterdam tonight and they were shocked because I’ve never said said anything and suddenly I'm going to depart that night. We went for a dinner with them, i haven’t talked with them for a long time. I told them I’m going and they were kind of against me going all alone. So that night i told them the whole story why i decided to go. I was having trouble with Mickael a few days before and one night i went to a club i was drunk and i asked him to pick me up, we talked and i just had this realisation that all of the guys I’ve been close with or even on tinder just want to fuck me and i can’t seem to pin a man to want to stay with me and only me. I told them the whole story and at the end i said I’ve been thinking about Gabriel’s word and Gab cried saying that he can’t feel like being a good friend and he hoped that he never says that words. I ended up crying too because i WAS feeling shitty and i needed to travel to get my mind off things. So they told me to go because i needed this.
I depart with a bus that night, the bus ride was long, 8 hours to reach Amsterdam. I arrived at around 10am and pf course, the first odor i smelled was weed. This is going to be great. I checked in on my hostel, i decided to stay on a hostel so i can meet people. I put my stuff on my room and i went on my very first adventure in Amsterdam. I went to the center and walk around town, i wanted to go to the market Albert Cuyp and i got in the tram, i passed by this larket with loads of tulips so i decided to get down from there and i went to this market with all the tulips you can see. I ended up going to Albert Cuyp market and ate a fresh stroopwaffle and poffertjes and at the end of the market, i went straight ahead and found an indonesian restaurant and decided to buy a take away indonesian food for tonight since i ate too much already. Prawn balado, tempeh with sweet soy sauce and green beans. Nothing beats this. I talked to a nice dutch lady who speaks a little indonesian. I went back to my hostel and met Kelly and Liam, two brothers from Nebraska, US who’s staying in the same room as me. There was a board game night and there i met Cat, and australian who lives in New york and Roman, a California boy.
We went for a free walking tour the next day, it was pretty funny since there’s somethings about indonesia like we visited the VOC and a statue of dewis dekker who’s been on my history lessons. We went to get a lunch in a restaurant near by, this time a new member came. His name is Andreas, a colombian guy. We went to the heineken museum afterwards and decided to go to do a bar hopping in the red light district, the district that showcases prostitutes on windows. We started fine and we started to get drunk. I talked to a crazy irlandian and scottish girls. I spoke with a super handsome dutch guy in a bar he told me his grandfather used to lived in indonesia and he was captured by the japanese soldiers during the colonization period. Our last stop was a club this is where everything just started to partir en coquilles. First we arrived and i Andreas, who has a girlfriend is totally hitting on Cat. And they started making out in the middle of the dance floor. I went to the smoking room and talked to a bunch of guys and one of then gave me some kind of drug. I took a little amount but i did nothing to me. Anyway, i went to find my new friends and i saw Cat and Andreas was making out so tried to find the others. I ended up dancing with Liam. And then i went to the smoking room and i danced with Cat and Andreas. I went upstairs to the toilet with Cat and i was waiting for Cat and i saw Liam going up the stairs, we dance on the stairs and I end up making out with him. I left him to find the others and i don’t really remember what happened but all i remember was i make out with Liam and dancing and touching all night long. Around 4am we realised that cat and Andreas is no longer there, they went back early since they have to check out early. Kelly and Liam also left early and me and Roman decided to stay. I tried to be his wing woman and try to find him a girl but i ended up dancing on a pole with a (bitchy) irish girl. We went back with an uber at around 5am. The next day i know it’ll be awkward with Liam so i just pretended to still be sleeping until Kelly and Liam were gone. I went out trying to avoid them and that day i went the whole day of shopping. I went to a sex museum, ate the famous dutch fries with truffle mayo, ate a seriously addicting vegan fast food (which is basically just falafel with bread and we get to put as much veggies on the falafel), went shopping at primark, and went to buy weed and space cake in a coffee shop. I saw Liam that night and pretended nothing happened. It was a bit awkward but we just brush it off. I played picolo with Kelly, Liam, Roman, and 2 british girls and we smoked a joint together. The next day i had to go check out. I sais goodbye to Kelly and Liam and went to a food hall where i ate the best bitterballen ever, a flee market, a supermarket where i bought indonesian spices, mango & chili flavoured stroopwaffle and so on as souvenirs for gabi and jess. I end my trip in Amsterdam by eating one last poffertjes and visited the Anne Frank museum. A jewish girl who wrote a diary during her days under the control of Hitler on world war 2. I had to get a train to catch my bus back to Strasbourg.
Going to Amsterdam was the best decision I’ve made I’m sure that i would’ve regretted it if i stayed home during the vacation. I totally forgot my sadness while i was there. Traveling alone is addicting and i wish i can do it more often.
