Amsterdam

Ok, I'm in Amsterdam now…
The plan was to get to Amsterdam Centraal, and await further instructions…

Hey... this is clearly unrelated, but I was thinking I really should have your contact info - email, phone, etc. Mail my lj address with it?

In Russia it snows at this time of year...


Interestingly, I'll be out there too in a couple of weeks. Weird!

I don't know if they still exist, but the people there are awesome.

I've been calling that number over and over again for hours. It just rings and rings and rings. I called my cell carrier yesterday, to explicitly make certain that I could use my cell phone over here, and they assured me that I could - Except now that I'm here, I really can't. And they locked my online-login-muck-with-your-account account, so I can't try to fix it from their web site - and the customer service number is 611 - completely useless if you're not on their network.

Anyway, tell her I'm sitting around outside, across the street from the Amsterdam Centraal train station.

Oh, I was wandering around a bit earlier, and I just assumed that all of Amsterdam was like this.

Ok, my laptop battery was about to die, so I went over to the Haarlemsch Koffiehuis to plug my laptop in. It's on the other side of the river, next to the Victoria Hotel (and like the red-light district with all the head shops and stuff).

Yeah the canal tours are quite visible from where I'm sitting. I've been walking back and forth, and taking photos of them for the last few hours…

The sun is just starting to set now. There's probably another hour or so until it gets dark. (It's noon in California.) I'm pretty butch-looking, so most guys leave me alone these days — that wasn't always the case. I've had some [three years] martial arts training too, and stuff. I've got luggage with me, so I haven't really been moving around much. I'm sitting in a Koffiehuis currently, typing away on my laptop.

I'm sorry you have a migraine. Get well soon. :(

They are now in Amsterdam looking for you. maradydd bricked her phone -- her new number is +31634080873. Suggest calling from pay phone.

Just as I went to reply to this, they walked in. They're sitting next to me now…

You know they have things that will help with miagraines...
And when in Rome.

Coinkydink. I was wandering Amsterdam that same morning/afternoon - left via Centraal at around 3p, Friday (local time). How'd I miss you?

Probably the leaning buildings obscuring my view, and not the hangover.
