I had one last day in Amsterdam before heading to the US. My friend Anetey is a Dutch native, so he showed me around the town. I told him I wanted to go to the red light district, a place I thought was famous for clubs and bars...actually it is famous for sex shops and prostitutes. Anetey was saying that Dutch locals actually never go there. It is kind of a scary place. The prostitutes are all behind windows, and Anetey said not to take any pictures because they will get pissed and break your camera! I do think the prostitutes look really aggressive, but I suppose you have to be if i you work there. It is surprising how many of them there were. Anetey was like, "what, did you think there was only one of two prostitutes for all of Holland???" and I guess I really did imagine there´s only be a few. Anyhow we left the red light district pretty quickly.
The next day we walked through town and visited a coffee shop! aparently ALL the coffee shops sell soft drugs. I asked Anetey if we could find a coffee shop that sells coffee and he was like, "you mean a cafe?" Anyhow, I decided to try this thing called space cake. Soooo AWFUL!
Well, it did not taste bad, but the effects came late so by the time I started feeling differently I had already eaten too much. I really felt like I was being hurtled though space, hence the name I guess. I never get motion sickness, but EVERYTHING was spinning, I felt like I was floating one second then falling the next and I ended up feeling nauseaus. We saw Ice Age 3 in 3-D. I am not sure if it was good or not, but I found it super entertaining since I´d eaten that special cake. It took about 20 hours for the effects to finally wear off.
