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"
