You're lucky it was only 4 days and lucky you got bail too. I know of people who can't get the bail money and have to sit there. "We are the music makers. And we are the dreamers of dreams."

Find a decent coffee shop and ask for a special menu. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22076188 Sit back, chill out, and enjoy :) Ahhhh, that sounds good. Will do! "We are the music makers.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21674902 But doesn't your own country need you more? The US only wants brain-dead warmongers that wave the flag on command. The government loots the treasury, we wave the flag. The government invades yet another country and we wave the flag. The government attacks our our country and kills our own citizens and we wave the flag. Bad scene. |

Real freedom, like our founding fathers hoped for us. I am so jealous, wish I could leave the "new Nazi Germany", the good ole USA. We got a lot of the same shit going on over here, in the Netherlands and in Europe at large, and don't forget we did our part in some of the last illegal wars. But if you want to come over, Welcome! Hope you're going to have a good time. Are you aiming at any city/ area in particular? |

aNONaMITTy (OP) User ID: 9834739 United States 08/17/2012 03:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most of the negative comments in this thread are from Americans. You might be interested to know that the Dutch are the third largest investor in the US. They support more than 700,000 jobs here. So, some of you that were so negative may actually be biting the hand that feeds you, esp. if you're from Texas, Massachusetts or California.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22139625 United States 08/17/2012 04:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh yes, and everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) shuts down at 5pm. The idea of 24/7 markets is foreign to them. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14118518 Here's a hint if you're caught out past 5pm - IKEA stay open late and they have a cafeteria that sells somewhat edible food. I'll put it this way - if you could live in Manhattan without a car, you'll probably do OK in Nederland without a car. Your cellphone is a necessity over there - you can use it to call in all sorts of things you'd otherwise get in your car to drive to. Oh yes and like one of the previous posters mentioned - how good are you at fixing bicycle tire flats? That's a vital skill - like a lightsaber, your bicycle is your life over there. Oh and repeat after me - "Heineken is just beer". Untrue, most shops are open from 9 to 9. Restaurants and bars at least until 11/12, and here most pubs until deep in the night, some even 24h!
