So, is there an itinerary for this thing?

On a somewhat-related note...what do you do about cell phone service overseas?

(Yeah I could Google it but I'm here, ain't I?)

I won't have a phone, only wifi.

so what's app works for me, or FB messenger

One thing I would like to do at some point is the Anne Frank museum. A booking is required being that the place is TINY and only a handful of people can go through at a time.

Herman wants us to go to the Rijksmuseum - he must love it there, him and minneg were just there last weekeng

I think I went to the Van Gogh museum in 2010(?) when I was there last.

I think the Jewish museum is more interesting than the Anne Frank museum, if you want to get informed about WWII.

Anne Frank museum means standing in line for a very long time, and then rushing trough it, because there's a huge line behind you. I would not recommend it.


A very overlooked museum by the big tourist hordes, but very worthwhile to visit (imo) are:


www.willetholthuysen.nl/ or www.museumvanloon.nl


Museum about Amsterdam that I like is: www.amsterdammuseum.nl/

Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh and Stedelijk are must sees, imo.

I would be a bad host if I would not get PJ to these museums

I don't have a cell phone. But I might get myself one for the Amsterdam invasion.

I'll look into cheap options for you.


If a Dutch orger is in the know about cell phones for one week use in Holland, I would be very thankful for some info.

Someone at work suggested I get a cheap "disposable" phone out there...do you have those?
Here we can go into a convenience store and buy a phone for like $40 with a pre-paid card for minutes.

I have no idea!

I will change my phone plan for the days I'm there to allow for a limited number of international texts. Beyond that, I will rely on free wifi to contact people via What'sApp, Viber or Skype.

that black thing is a guinness? I need new glasses

Can you give more details on the Amsterdam invasion? Is it a public dance party or just fans gathering and talking? I would prefer to dance. Place and time would be nice too.

Seriously, I don't think I've ever actually had a Guinness.

Can I get Belgian beer on tap in Amsterdam? Benelux is practically one big country anyway, right?

I think we're all past this level of famdom, but if any Europeans at the invasion want a copy of the American magazine, Essence with the kooky Prince cover, I can bring a few copies. It's for sale everywhere here. http://prince.org/msg/7/407229

I'll post this on Facebook.

As long as you don't forget my pair of shoes mate...

Your crazy shoes are already in my luggage.

On the other hand, I found the Anne Frank museum very powerful and would highly recommend. I suppose it's cause I read the book as a child and it had a great impression on me. Worth the wait for me, especially since I didn't know if I'd ever find myself find in Holland again - it was a once in a lifetime experience.

I also recommend Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh.

I've been to Amsterdam a few times and have already seen Rijksmusem and Van Gogh, but not the others. The Torture Museum is cool too.

Yes, you are right.

It's different if you don't live here, I forgot about that.
