Whoohoo! you've been to Holland! Yeah!
So, how was it? ^_^

[Vaereth]

It was great though I saw only Amsterdam and countryside near it.The first thing in town that amazed me was a great number of cycles (after seen mostly cars at the road it was really amazing stuff^^ I like cycling^^). And of cause a lot of shops with drugs (if I am not mistaken, I was there 2 years ago :rolleyes: )
Countryside is lovely too ;012 I've never seen wind power plants before)) But It is a shame that I haven't seen fields of  tulips cuz it was winter time
And more over it is the homeland of WT (they are my favorite ^_^  ) I want to come back ^_^

Drugs? Amsterdam? Hmmm, one would generally think of a particular substance involving Amsterdam, but I dare not ask if my assumption is correct - it would further derail this thread.  Also, I tend to be paranoid.  Anyway, you seem to have a very interesting background (drawing on the combined knowledge of the info you've shared on this forum), and on top of that, you're a pretty damn good artist, excellent.

On topic, I've already shared a good deal of knowledge about where I'm from.  I'm in the United States, so I'll leave it at that ^^;.

[Vaereth]

Thanks for the compliment ;073 This knowledge comes not only from travailing but also from my geography studying in university :rolleyes:  We also made there to know each state in the US for our World Economics.
Want to go to the US especially to the states which are containing The Great Plains. Want to see prairie myself ^_^

But I don't understand about drugs. Am I mistaken? I'm sorry if it so(( But I'm sure I saw at the streets of Amsterdam "Magic Mushroom" shop where I wanted to buy a hat made of hemp (just for fun :rolleyes: ) . But when I tried to the shop assistant told me that I'm under-age and can't have it
:rolleyes:

Yeah, there were shrooms in amsterdam, but they're outlawed nowadays after some french tourist ate some and jumped off a bridge, thinking she could fly...
So the only legal drugs available in amsterdam is weed or weed-based... (not that the rest isn't available anymore).. and yes there are indeed lots and lots of cycles in holland, but i wouldn't recommend bringing one to amsterdam (or any personal transportation) because cycles get stolen alot... ^_^

(BTW it is on topic if i post this, cuz i am from holland )

[Vaereth]

oh yes, I have just remembered that each cycle has a personal lock or something like this which made it (as I understand) unable to ride!

[Smokey]

Yep, if you don't lock the wheels, chain it to something or take the saddle/steer with you, your bike will get stolen... ^_^ and yes "we" even steal bikes from cops... ^_^

[Vaereth]

I just imaged stealing bike from a cop. It' something ;012  And I also remembered a thing about cycles. It is always need  to keep eye on them, cuz they might knock person down if it don't give them the way.

[Smokey]

well, it's not really dangerous if you look out for the cars (ya know, stay right on the road instead of the middle, stop for cars, etc)...
But yes, some bikers (especially those G**DA** M**H**F**K**G groups of students who bike in F**K**G groups of 4-6 G**D**N** Bikes WIDE and about 20 M**H**F**K**G bikes long.... everytime i'm in a car with somebode we really want to slam the gas down and bash right through those M**H**F**K**G B**C**S!!!!!) are a bit annoying... ^_^


Naah, i don't have issues with certain bikers because i have nearly gotten in an accident/killed when i encountered them... ^_^

[Vaereth]

Yeah but cars are giving one impression about their danger (for example size) and bikes give the other. Before I saw bikes in Amsterdam I didn't think that they can be realy dangerous :rolleyes: It's cuz in Russia there is practically no cycles on the road. It is a realy very rear thing And about dam students....well this stuff I can only see at fest (which usually takes place at countryside)

[Smokey]

Be glad because those groups are lethal... i almost ended up in a canal once bcause of them, and more than once almost ended up against some hard object... I also have the urge to speed up when i see a biker at night who doesn't have his/her lights on... Wich is probably why i still don't have my drivers license, because i have all my lessons in the evening when it's dark...

[Vaereth]

Driving in town?Or at countryside? In Moscow it is more ricky to drive at countryside at night than at day (about driving in town i'll keep silent cuz it is ricky at any time). Cops like to caught ones without license very late at night (not usually for the justice and order but for the money which is very shame )

[Smokey]

Both, my driving lessons are 1,5 hours long and i drive from my city to another where i drive around in the city and then go back again...

And i've heard of russion cops taking bribes, but nowadays it seems that not all cops take bribes so it's dangerous to try to bribe nowadays...

[Vaereth]

It is true about the bribes and yes about their starting to give up (that becase fine for the breaking the law are nowadays is the same as bribe in value. But in spite of fines and bribes russian people still drive awful and cuz of that break the law to often)

Driving lessons are usually take place at countryside in Moscow cuz of a lot of cars on the road 24/7 (traffic jams is usually thing). Some times I think in this town there are more cars than people

[Smokey]

LOL, yeah, but traffic jams are a hoot when you're on your bike...
