You're just pissed cause Amsterdam's better than Utrecht. :D
to be honest its more like a I'm embarrassed at being afiliated with these losers, even to the extent that I'm in the country they so desperately want to visit. we have all that crap here in Utrecht too, it's not unique to Amsterdam. I even know where the hookers are cause I like exploring a new city on my bike. strike that, the bike the motherfuckers stole today

claire, hope that answer yours as well

Awesome, I was thinking about that for Spring Break if I don't go to NYC again.
Yer..I thought you were joking. Of course my brother went to Amsterdam not Vancouver, which is literally on the other of the world from Croatia. Have though. :D

Yeah, exploring was the reason. :D

Sorry about the bike, if it makes you feel any better mine was stolen some months ago. :D Didn't use it much though.

Actually I'm fascinated by the hookers. We don't have that back home. I mean there's prostitution everywhere, but it's totally underground, while here it's legit.

First time I saw hookers was in dear Poland, they hang on the side of certain major roads. Not that it's unusual for people sell their fruits and vegetables there, but those women were just standing there aimlessly. So I asked my grandfather and he didn't really know how to explain it lol.

Anyway I don't know Amsterdam too well, but here in Utrecht there's three locations. One is a short alley in the city. Then there's a road by the river which is really the last place I'd expect it. And those are like official locations, they have office space. But then there's the outsourcing/private contractor place by this home improvement warehouse where they just stand outside a long fence.

So that's the tour. :p

Oh and a former roommate of mine already did that joke. We were grocery shopping and stumble upon that short alley cause it's dead in the center. And he made a joke about "shopping at that other supermarket". Unlike you, he was actually funny. :p

Well I use it everyday to get around. Without it it takes me over twice as long, it's crippling. And this is the third bike.


Ok, you REALLY seem sapped!
People who go around expressing their primal urges all the time are insanely boring. Frankly I don't care if people go see prostitutes or get drunk out of their minds every weekend or what have you. It's when they come back to brag about it and expect some kind of credit it for it that's just pathetic.

Wow, you really did your homework. :D

Here it's totally underground as well, there are some certain streets where you can get what you need but only if you dig ugly ass trucker-looking-40-year old-whores. If you want the good stuff you need to pick up the yellow pages, read between the lines and start dialing. :D

Mine wasn't much of an effort but, yeah, your friend's joke was top notch. :D

Ouch, that's really often. I don't really understand people who steal bikes, cars I do, at least you can sell it for some good money. What do you do with a bike? I mean unless it's some freaky custom made high tech-measure your blood pressure bike, you can't really sell it for anything worthwhile. Not worth the trouble, at least not here where people only use it for recreational purposes.

You're just old. :D

There's an insane amount of bike theft and bike circulation in this country. As you say they're not exactly worth much, and yet they get stolen all the time.

You're just old. :D
I guess that means I've always been "old" then, this has been my position for as long as I can remember. Evidently some people are just born "older" than others. :p

Stop dissecting posts, I hate that shit. :D

I can imagine, yeah, because they're one of the primary means of transportation there. I remember my brother telling me there are more bikes in Amsterdam than cars when he got back from his trip, on most of his photos it was pretty obvious. I suppose the theft would be higher here as well if people actually used them for getting around. Someone who rides a bike here is an outsider. We got practically 1.5 cars per person here and we supposedly don't have money. :rolleyes: It's sickening, we're not such a big city, but the traffic jams here...NYC wouldn't be ashamed of them, everyone goes to work with his own car. God forbid 2,3 neighbours work something out and go together in one car, that'd be embarrasing.

To tell you the truth I'm thinking about getting a car now. :D

Nah, if I were to get one it would have to be small, cheap and cost me as little as possible. Saabs don't fit the bill, although they totally rock. :D
Well I drive a Astra classic for 4,5 years now. It has a weak diesel engine, so I can't go drag-racing really, but it has really small fuel consumption and it's very reliable, had no problem with it so far. It's also really affordable because they have the new Astra line at the same time which is supposed to be all fancy and stuff.
