amsterdam, goodbye

I leave for Berlin 2nite, via Brussels. Lond story, basically there were no direct trains to Berlin, and i didint want to use my rial pass 2 times, so i bought a ticket to brussels. i may have an extra day at the end, but ill use it up im sure. anyways...

Went out with Felix last night, bar hopped a lil, accidently stopped in a gay bar, and then found a jazz club. good quartet, surprisingly. trombone, double bass, drums, and piano. nice. hit up all the museums, visited the heineken brewery today. im ready to leave tho, these places are so packed with tourists. i feel that even tho everyone is nice here, the locals must hate the tourists. its the same kind of ambivalance i experienced in the carribean. they rely on us for econmic reasons, but resent us for it. we ruin the city. public spaces are great tho. community!
