2:50am Red Lights

Brett and i arrived in the red light district around 10 of 3. The streets were very familiar to me since we were here just the other day. As we walked deeper into the red light district a man walked by us looking up into the sky. He was a black man wearing almost all black. Under his voice he mumbled "Coca, Coca"

I took a breath and buried my face with in my coat as we took a turn down a street that was lined with red lights on two levels with a canal running down the middle. The street was filled with load noises of men laughing and screaming. I was instantly put on high alert to what was going on around me. Individual men as well as groups of men walked up and down the street looking at girls and laughing with each other. My mouth was gaping open at the sight of these girls. No only were they not the same girls as this morning they were the sexiest girls i have ever seen.

Brett: "how can these girls be prostitutes?" "They are the most beautiful girls i have ever seen"
Frazer: "Dude look at this girl, why isnt she doing something else?"
Brett: "lets get a couple"
Frazer: "no, i dont want to do at all" "think about how many dudes have been in them"
Brett: "Ya your right"

As we walked down the street girls in lingerie, leather, and anything else you can think of tap on their windows opened their doors and asked us to come inside.

I read a sign "lesbian show".

Frazer: "Want to see how much this is?"
Brett: "ya why not"

I cracked open the door as two ladies blond thin ladies in lingerie were inviting us in.

Frazer: "How much is it for the show"
Lady: "100 euros"
Frazer: "What 100 euros for a show no way" I turned to brett "No way is that a good deal"
Frazer: "How much is it to fuck?"
Lady: "50 euros"
Frazer: "What its 50 euros to fuck!" "Brett no how the fuck is it 50 euros to fuck these girls" "Lets do it" I started to open the door
Brett: "no!"
Frazer: As i shut the door i threw my hands in the air and said "Damnit their so hot and it is only 50 euros"
Brett: "No we said we wouldnt"
Frazer: "Your right"

The inner struggle of guys in the red light district was an amazing sight. We watched as one man bundled in his coat paced back and forth as he looked a one of the women. You could see that he had made his decision to do it as he ran with his hand extended for the door handle. Immediately after opening the door he slammed and shut and ran back to the same spot where he was pacing.

Please one more night

Our goal was to leave Amsterdam early in the morning. At this point we had enough of this crazy circus. At 11:00am we awoke to an employee of Bob's Hostel coldly stating get out or pay. We paid.

Europe is an amazing place. People from all over the world travel to Europe to visit the sights and enjoy the culture. Almost everyone you meet wants to learn a little bit about you. Coffee a few times a day for hours at a time. Life seems to be in a slow spin.

We started our day with Bob's breakfast 3 pieces of bread and one hard boiled egg. A few moments to check facebook and we were off to enjoy Amsterdam. Amsterdam is set up like a big horseshoe. Cutting through the large horseshoe are smaller horseshoes which are made up of canals for boats and on every street there are little cars and light rails. The streets are filled with beautiful buildings and arts of work that can not be found anywhere else in the world. After wandering for a while we decided to visit the famous Van Gogh museum. Van Gogh became famous after his sister in law published letters written to his brother. The letters told the store of how Van Gogh became the artist that was so well known. In each letter a new style or idea of art came into Van Gogh's mind. The newest letters express how Van Gogh seemed to be losing his mind. Eventually he killed himself.

That night we ended up in Rembrandt which was another hot spot for bars and clubs. Early into the night Brett and I had made 2 friends. These older women in their 30's were on vacation and this was their first time in Amsterdam. Brett's friend Lay had dirty blond hair, was tall and full of energy. My friend May had dark hair, seem innocent and shy. Near the end of the night May and I realized that Brett and his lady friend were missing. May quickly started to freak out wondering where her friend was. I grabbed bretts sweater since the jacket i brought with me was embarrassingly old and discolorful.

2:00am

Frazer: "I am sure they are fine they are together"

May: "no my friend would never do this"

May tries to call her friend. I try to call break.

2:20am

Frazer: "ok lets get out of here, i am sure they are fine and it is freezing."

May: "No i cannot leave without my friend." "She wouldn't do this to me." "She would be so made if i ran off and didnt tell her."

May tries to call her friend.

2:35

Brett calls: "whats up dude"

Frazer: "haha, sitting around wondering where you are"

2:40

Brett: "can i have my sweatshirt back"

Frazer: "Ya" I was not excited about having to put back on this ugly coat, but with how cold it was i had no choice.

May: "You stay one more night?"

Frazer: "No i want to get the fuck out of amsterdam."

Brett: "Ya well stay one more night."

Lay turns to brett: "May wants him to stay one more night"

Brett: "Ya well stay one more night"

Frazer: "Fine"

2:45

Brett: "Lets go to the red light district"

Frazer: "No it was scary enough during the day" "Im wasted and i dont want to go there"

Brett: "Come on, how many times are you in amsterdam?"

Frazer: "fine, lets go"
