Danked Does Amsterdam (& Paris)! - 2006

[fbd]

find out what they call a big mac in amsterdam, I been wondering since 94.

i'd be more interested in what they call a whopper, since that guy never went to burger king

[Danked]

I do know they call french fries "frites" and they mix different sauces and spices with mayonaise to dip them in.

And they are delicious!

[crx girl]

mmm frites

So here are a few decent pictures I took on my trip. It really is a beautiful city alive with culture beyond the red light district.

Here are a few I captured on a rainy day boat ride along the canals.







Here's some more shots of Damrak including the bell tower where I took the panorama shot and the street shot.





This is the Oude Kirk church on the edge of the Red Light District where you can find the Prostitute Information Center and large black woman just across the way.



The Heineken brewery! No longer in service, but you can get an informational tour, three beers, and a souvenir glass to what I believe equated to $5 American at the time. We went in the morning.



The Rijkmuseum. This is where you can find the Rembrandts and other Dutch Masters and allegedly takes two whole days to properly explore. I regret never making it there, but the Van Gogh Museum had a fantastic exhibit on Van Gogh and Gaugin's rivalry.



The Queen's Palace.



Pictures of me I've posted before. With wax representations of celebrities!!!

I enjoy the consistancy of Danked's wardrobe.

[Danked]

I find it's more cost efficient to maintain the lifestyle of a cartoon character.

[The Jays]

It's like how Charlie Brown always has the yellow shirt with the squiggle, or Gonzo with the football jersey.

[Mad]

Damn dirty hippies.

[Galt]

Who will play danked in the movie

[The Jays]

Strange, I do think of Danked as this board's smart Keanu Reeves.

[Danked]

Well, I do know kung fu.

[The Jays]

Show me.

and in other news for 2003, jays was considered the most improved poster.

[Goatweed]

I was gonna mention the FAULK jersey in the "I Know" thread - I knew I should have!

[Danked]

I spoke to my buddies last night and the dates we will be travelling is April 4th to the 14th. The plan as it stands at this point is to first travel from Newark Airport to Reykjavik in Iceland for 2 or 3 days and then head off to Amsterdam. We will settle in there for a home base and then take day trips to cities outside of Holland throughout the rest of our time there. I'm so psyched. I love travelling.

i haven't seen you in a year. you get what you deserve!

[Mad]

Danked is also a much better photographer then Keyser. Nothing inspiring about Keyser's work either just typical tourist type shit.

[Danked]

We're no longer going to Reykjavik. The plan as it stands now is to head to Paris instead for our first week and then to enjoy a leisurely vacation from our vacation in Amsterdam. Woooo.

I shall be posting pics from my travels.
