Well another week another adventure, this time I was brought to the depths of Amsterdam to help MSi with their booth at Firstlook i'll blog it day by day so can see it step by step :)

Friday

Friday was for me the  day of travel, as I was travelling on my own I thought I better make sure I don't mess up and miss my flight as mummy/daddy are not there to wake me up, now I'm in my own apartment.

I woke up at about 8am to the awesome sound of my mobile phone alarm (which is the metal gear solids "found" sound) this works every time in waking me up as the noise is so irritating :P after that the typical shit-shower-shave was in order and then to get some breakfast, after that I was soon due to sort out my money for the adventure so went the post office and got some Euros but to my surprise being stopped by a homeless guy asking if I have any spare change... usually I don't give people change but the way this guy asked was hilarious... he was posing against a bin with one arm on it kind of slouched... before i went into the door he flicked his head around and said "got any spare change" instead of laughing I gave him credit for making me giggle and decided to give him some, he was overwhelmed that he could afford drugs tonight!, the flight itself was pretty straight forward although it was a tight squeeze as of course every British train i get on seems to "delay" for some reason.. this reason was at Manchester Piccadilly someone decided to "not pay their ticket" and made a scene and delayed the train by 45minutes and the police had to come and slap him around a bit, before he understood he's digging himself a bigger hole, so being just 10minutes early for the flight and still somehow getting on was remarkable. I must be a fast runner :P

When I landed my phone turned back on and was bombarded with texts from Stevy saying "sorry I'm at the hotel" and was very sorry that he couldn't meet me at the airport, luckily for me isn't the first time I've been stood up ;) so I took out my little piece of paper that had every detail I needed and headed to the Taxi rank!... Some reason when going to the Taxi rank... I completely walked past the Taxi's and ended up at the drop off point wondering why the "cars" weren't staying after they dropped people off... it occurred to me later I was in the wrong place :D

The Taxi robbed me 46euros because of supposed "traffic" to be fair I think he just took the long route because I couldn't speak Dutch...%&$!

When arriving at the Hotel I waited at the lobby and await for Stevy to come me and take me to my living quarters, the Hotel MSi booked for us was to be fair awesome! rooms where amazing and the beds... I just wanted to steal the pillows they were so good, even made Stevy consider this.

After gathering our bearings and dropping everything off we decided to hunt for food. Stevy decided to confine himself to the hotel until I arrived so outside the "sliding doors" was a world unexplored for the young one and we both decided to explore it keeping our direction right of the hotel doors... so we could find our way back! 10minutes walking and we found a takeout place to get some food and got food. Stevy being a generous guy decided to buy my food which considering how cheap it was amazing two hamburgers, side salad and chips was awesome! after eating for a while Stevy informed that Thomas "ChoObie" Mead was coming to visit and we decided to wait there until he came and then we'd go to the City Centre and begin the Mission;

Mission Objectives

  • KFC
  • Cash

Stevys a delinquent and sadly doesn't have a KFC within his country, so as we had free time we deciding to add it to our "To Do List"

So it began! we headed off and decided to take the bus from outside the hotel, lucky for us that the bus was only 2minutes away and we got onboard, as I had no cash Choobie happily paid the trip, but to my misfortune I wasn't familiar with the "ticketing" machine used within Dutch buses and was there for 2 Minutes getting laughed at as I was rubbing the card on the LCD display rather than the magnetised area.... -.- I felt stupid to say the least :( and was laughed at endlessly for the entire journey.

When arriving in the City centre we headed straight to the cash point, I withdrew cash and then commenced the Objective KFC! which was luckily only 5minutes walk from the cash point.

We arrived at KFC stood outside and looked up and all smiled at the Colonel with respect as we were about to eat his Chicken ^.^ we sped walked towards the counter and ordered the most we could (27 Hot-wing bucket 3 large fries and 3 large cokes) not having KFC for such a long time and tasting that... was orgasmic, Stevy paused with silence and just ate as much as he could (wasn't a lot) :P so Choobie was left to salvage the leftovers! he did well!

After the Mission was complete we decided to get some booze and head back to the hotel and sleep, watch a little poker and things got a little outta hand.. but I won't get into that :D:D

I'll post these blogs under three different ones as they will be a bit too long :P
