Weekend 7 to an end...

this weekend was interesting... since Friday was Australia DAY so we went to Coco's (the local australian bar) and boy was it packed! but it definately remind me of the den at home in terms of the music they played (less trance and house!) and more of that old schoo/new schoo rock and alternative!

I thought it appropriate to add Steve's invitation:

Dear All Un-Australian Heretic Wretches,

Tomorrow is a very important day. It is of coarse, as everyone who is anyone knows, AUSTRALIA DAY.
Why? Don't ask me. An important tradition of Australia day is to not ask why it is Australia Day, but to keep drinking till you forget it is Australia day (as well as your name, address and the ability to form coherent sentences).

If any of you feel like turning your nose up at the sophistication of Jimmy Woo's this Friday, and want to associate with people from a country where the men are so though that they shave with a rock and the women are so tough that they pee standing up; then you are more than welcome to join me at Coco's Outback in Rembrantsplien tomorrow night.

I will be providing free Act-Like-An-Aussie lessons before the request so that you guys can fit in.These involve activities such as how to open a beer bottle using your eye; how to make love to rabid kangaroo without getting infected and also how to get skin cancer before you are 30.

Give me a shout if you are keen.

This party lasted until about 3, and took us about an hour to get home after a little after bar FEBO (and a bit of wandering around cause we were lost). FEBO btw is Amsterdam's late night, fast food, the most delicious, yet the most nastiest food you can buy here for less than 2 euros. You buy it out of a wall. When Les told me about buying food out of a wall, I thought he was joking... aparently not But when you're hungry at 230 am, it is very convenient and VERY BUSY.

Sunday, found a great "Bagels and Beans" location which is a great shop for a sunday morning to chill, read and watch the people walk by - this might be a regular thing.

Then later met up with Camilo and Ching Ying for BODIES! Despite this being outrageously expensive (22EUR), it was really cool to see, although if I were a med student, it probably would not be all that interesting (so sharon maybe not the best way to blow 30 CAD). the coolest was the casting for the circulation system where they casted all the veins and arteries of an arm/leg/human and you just see the 3d outline formed by them! highly recommend - you were right RITA!
