I deliberately dont sleep the night before a long flight in a vain attempt to force me to sleep on the plane. It *NEVER* works and I just end up feeling even shitter

Have a good trip man and good luck settling in!

Sean McBride · Aug 2005

I also plan on visiting London as well,found a great site which is for a ferry that goes from Amsterdam to London for about 28 euro so id also love to meet some London polycounters too.

my friends taking me drinking so i imagine that will help

Good luck, have fun

adam · Aug 2005

Hey, good luck dude!

JBoskma · Sep 2005

Hope you have a great time there man. I sadly ain't living there anymore. Else I would have helped you getting around in Amsterdam and the country. I think if you want to hook up with any Dutch Polycounters, Skullbox and Pestilence are there to poke

. If I may ask where will you be working?

Hehe I was in a restaurant a few years ago in Amsterdam with my ex girlfriend when a woman started talking to me in Dutch. As I got up I apologised for in actual fact being English and she goes 'oh yes, you look very dutch but I can see that you are not now you're standing, sorry'. Haha. I'm 5'9" and yeah, I feel short in Holland.
Apparently the large percentage of south east asian immigrants that have been coming over since the fifties are now tall too. Must be all the dairy products. Or all the marijuana or something.

you're my HERO!

You're a bit short for a brit, aren't ya Daz? I'm 6'1", and the british guys here in the office are taller than me.

I already wished ya good luck, J0420, but good luck again

Have a safe flight, and a hell of a time.

Daz · Sep 2005

I don't think Brits are renowned for being particularly tall. Bad teeth perhaps, but not tall. We're mongrels really.
There are 2 American guys I know at work that are the exact same height as me ( one of which is my personal trainer ) and both swear they're 5'11". Suspicious

You will love it then Javier. Dutch lasses are positively Amazonian.

Michael Knubben · Sep 2005

i sincerely hope you're not a convinced anglophile, because dutch english is somewhat american-sounding, heh.
When are you going to London, anyway? i'll be there from the 24th of this month to the 10th of october, and wouldn't mind meeting up with some polycounters myself.
