netcat Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Just got back from Thailand. White sand beaches, cocktails and heatstroke. ping pong shows, adult massages, beautiful ladyboy hookers shopping for deadly drunk tourists. just got back from there tooI didn't leave the resort. I was all about the cocktails. Daiquiri, Tom Collins, mandarin Sunrises for 4 days until I got sunstroke. I went to Kamala once for a massaman curry. I had a pedicure and foot massage in the resort.Kamala? so you stayed in Phuket, same as me. it's just that i lived at Patong, and it was like a non-stop party 24/7. now i feel like i need to take a vacation from my vacation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I stayed at holiday inn in patong once. I went in once to the big c to get spicy fish snacks and singa to stock the fridge. I prefer to stay at the private beach. Rock lobster on the beach etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin White Duke Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I heartily dislike Brussels. Any other Belgian city is better, Ghent, Bruges, wherever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansin Humanity Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Amsterdam and Prague are great spotsThat's what I hear - I'm most excited for those two on the trip. I have two good friends in Prague that I don't see very often so that should make it even better.I heartily dislike Brussels. Any other Belgian city is better, Ghent, Bruges, wherever. Interesting. A buddy of mine studied there for the semester in the fall and recommended that I go. I'll let you know what I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The route is Brussels -> Prague -> Amsterdam -> Copenhagen -> Stockholm. Recommendations (or if anyone wants to grab a beer or something, let me know) are much appreciated!That order makes NO sense! From Brussels to Amsterdam is like...2,5 hours by car. Why spend 10 hours driving to prague and 10 hours back in between? Otherwise they're pretty solid picks! I've been to Amsterdam (obviously), Brussels and Prague. When in Brussels, try as many local beers as possible. This place called De Bier Tempel (The Beer Temple) has loads for sale. I also love Cafe Maneke Pis, a pub right across the manneke pis status. Don't really get the hate it gets. I agree Ghent and Brugge are fantastic (possibly better), but I do love Brussels. In Amsterdam, really depends why you're going. Debauchery and sin? Or history and culture? Also, why did you decide not to include Paris or Berlin?

Thin White Duke Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Brussles for a couple of days I guess it's right. Everywhere can be nice/fun for a few days. Living in Brussels it surely makes it lose the little charm it could have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paris and Berlin were skipped because of flight prices, but I'm here for another two months almost so I might be able to do a little more traveling towards the end, hopefully.Also saw your post about your North America trip, definitely jealous of that route.

Lithium Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm going to Barcelona for ten days with my boys this summer. The original plan was to go to Pamplona and run with the bulls, but most of my friends pussed out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lio Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Definitely jealous of the North America trip and your travel plans, Powerage!For me this year planned so far: a week in Turkey and a city trip to London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm going to Barcelona for ten days with my boys this summer. The original plan was to go to Pamplona and run with the bulls, but most of my friends pussed out.I'll tell yah, the thought of doing it usually hits a brick wall when you see it happening in person. In 2006 I was in Spain and watched the running of the bulls in a small town of Laguardia. It was much smaller than what takes place in Pamplona, but it was still scary as hell. I watched within the confines of the bulls but outside of the running lanes. I can't remember if it was the day before or day after I watched tens of drunken Spaniards get tossed around a bullfight ring in the town of Haro. Anyone could get in there, but watching guys bigger than me get thrown around like rag dolls killed any inclination I might have had to try. And I'm someone who usually doesn't backdown from a thrill, but that was too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhead74 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I heartily dislike Brussels. Any other Belgian city is better, Ghent, Bruges, wherever.I don't dislike Brussels but I think every other town/village/city in Belgium is better than Brussels. My favourite is Bruges. Gorgeous place with a really lovely atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhead74 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Why not do it all. In Amsterdam it's possible to experience the lot. My trip to Thailand this year got cancelled. Work commitments. Strangely, I don't really give a fuck. I'll just go shopping instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 When I went to Amsterdam my hotel was in the red light district. I tell you nothing like hitting up a few coffee shops during the afternoon, then heading to the Van Gogh museum high as a fucking kite.Afterwards, head to a few bars and then go for a lovely walk along the canals where you can take in the wonderful sights of the sex shops and prostitutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing beer, fries and waffles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
