Kyle Here:
Was unable to write yesterday as Jarae went to bed early, and packed up the computer.
So, yesterday was a typical day in Amsterdam possibly. We slept late, then I went for coffee and rolls, but there was no rolls, just coffee and a huge language barrier. Jarae and I decided to take a boat ride in the canals, to visit some museums. We went to the Rembrandt house, which inspired me to be a better painter when I have time to paint again. It was very exciting to me to be in the actual space that he lived in many years ago. His collection of etchings was truly amazing.
We then rode to boat to the Anne Frank house, which had a huge line, so we decided not to go.
We ate a typical danish meal, or at least Jarae did, which included raw beef sausage. I am sure it was tasty. I had asparagus soup and grilled cheese, and of course a third coffee of the day. I love espresso.
I then walked around the Jordan neighborhood, while Jarae went to the Tulip Museum. The neighborhood reminded me of some places in NYC. Crazy record shops, restaurants, galleries and funky shops.
I then of course did my nightly meeting, and walk around the city while GM Jarae went back to the hotel to rest since we had to get up early for our long flight.
I went to the Hanky Panky tattoo shop, and talked to the guys. Then walked around to the graffiti/art/tshirt shop of my new friend Abner and hung out with him and some of his friends.
Also went on a culinary tour in the evening: ate some fries, belguim waffles and the best strawberries ever.
I wish I could have stayed longer in Amsterdam, but know that I will be back sometime in the future.
Now about today, got up way early which turned out good since the airport took forever. There really was not sort of structure at all. I saw just how different European 'crowd' culture is than the US. I never realized how much personal space I need to feel like I don't want to punch a Dutch boy in the face.
The flight was the longest one I have ever taken-- Ten and a half hours but we are finally in Jo'burg South Africa. It is night so can't tell much, and tomorrow we get back on a plan for a bit to go to the safari.
Things I learned today and yesterday:
Dutch people do not know how to give proper directions.
Dutch people think the Southern US is 'backwards' and 'racist'.
People really do wear wooden shoes, or at least the construction workers do.
Dutch customer service is more service less customer.
Dutch parents do not discipline their kids, at all.
Contrary to my opinion, you cannot cut into any line, even though it appears ok for everyone else.
African people speak very, very softly. But you can be sure that their last question is for a tip of some sort.
Not all Amsterdam asian 'women' are men.
Airport security outside the US is practically non existent.
Always order a special vegetarian meal on a flight, to get excellent food, and before everyone else as well.
I got to read a book for pleasure on the flight today for the first time in three years, it was very nice. I look forward to doing it again while I am here.
That is all.

On our way
Kyle is waiting at the end of the line to get on our flight. It took an hour just to get our luggage checked in. This was only cuz we already checked in online. We will write more about the lack of organization @ european airports. Well if you don't hear from us in a couple of days it just cuz we are not connected.

Enjoying the last day
We had a nice relaxing day today. I will write more later on our adventures later. Kyle headed off to a meeting and I was going to head back to the hotel but decided to roam around a little more in Joordan neighborhood. I stopped at Roem cafe/bar. It has tables on the canal. I am enjoying another Dutch beer, Grolsch. Not too bad. Anne Franks house is just down the street. The line is too long to get in. So I will have my drink and then head back to pack. We are goin to Africa tomorrow. Whoo hoo!

Kyle Here: So once again we walked alot today. I am not sure, but I think I walked around a majority of the city twice today. I just got in, it is midnight, and I have been walking since about 8 o'clock. There is so much to see, and it helps that I got lost in the dark.
Today here are some things I learned--
Jarae does not know how to read a map. We were wondering if her sense of direction will improve in the Southern Hemisphere, we shall have to wait and see.
About three or four espressos a day, and a cuban cigar make for a very bad taste in my mouth.
Asian men with the right hair cut and sexy lingerie really can look like women.
The Red Light District really is for the whole family, as evidenced by alot of couples and kids walking around tonight.
Seize the moment, at the right moment.
When you walk for miles, Amsterdam starts to look the same three streets over and over, especially in the dark.
Pumpkin mush with feta cheese and peas is tasty, but only with the right amount of sliced jalapenos.
I love walnut tarts and I am eager to eat another one in the morning.
The Russian monarchy stole alot of art from alot of cultures in the Europe and the Middle East, but that just makes it easier to view it in a museum today.
Europeans wear anything they damn well please.
If I got high, this trip would be alot different, not better just very different.
Amsterdam meeting coffee is better than US meeting coffee by far.
Australian and English men like to have group sing alongs when drunk.
And I could make a killing if I sold my pearlsnap shirt collection in Amsterdam, but that will never happen.
Just a few of the things that happened today.

Well by the end of this trip I can say I have walked all over Amsterdam and then some. Man, do my legs feel it. I did finally get Kyle on public transportation today. He prefers to walk, but where we wanted to go was too far to walk, and we had some time constraints. So I am going to beat him to the punch on this one. We did start off a little rough on the tram. We either got on the wrong one or missed the one we were supposed to be on . So here I thought I was going to be saving time, but we wasted about an hour trying to figure things out. However, once get on the right one, and he saw how far it was, he did eventually admit it was too far to walk. I'm sure he will not admit to this. :)
Since the last time we blogged we have visited the following places:
· Rembrandtplein This is where the Night Watch statues are located, and Rembrandt’s house is located. We have not made it there yet.
· The Red Light District…and no I did nothing there other than walk up the street. If I was twenty-something I perhaps might have thought it was cool, but we all know I am well past that, so it was just kind of annoying. There were so many people there. Mostly drunk, annoying guys.
· The Dutch Resistance Museum - http://www.dutchresistancemuseum.nl/museum/en/museum
It explains what happened to Holland during WW II and how Germany was able to occupy the country. The Germans were pretending to be nice at the beginning, and then slowly gathered the info they needed on the Jews living in the country, and then slowly started taking their rights away, and eventually deporting them.
· The Heritage Museum –
http://www.hermitage.nl/en/index.htm
This is the first satellite museum of the original Hermitage in St. Petersburg Russia http://www.hermitage.nl/en/content.htm. I have been to this one as well, and hands down it is the most amazing art museum I have ever been to. The one in Amsterdam, is much, much smaller. However, The Hermitage has such an extensive collection that they are unable to display it all, and have it stored away. Now they are able to use the Netherlands site to display these items.
· Waterlooplein http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterlooplein
There is a really big flea market here. Though, I was not very impressed. It was all sort of the same stuff, and nothing really good.
· Dam Square http://www.holland.com/amsterdam/gb/
This is the older section of the city. We saw the Palace, National Monument, and then the Old Church.
We also did see our first Windmill (pics on the site), and Amstel River. I have not had an Amstel beer yet, but I did have a Heineken last nite. I don’t normally drink this so not sure if it tasted any better or not, but it was good. We then and went and had dinner at a Peruvian restaurant tonight which was right on the canal. Today was just a beautiful day. The weather is just like Seattle. It doesn’t get hot here at all. It rained pretty good yesterday. Hopefully we will have one more day of nice weather.
Sunday we hope to go to the house that Anne Frank hid out in for 2 years, Rembrandt’s House, and do a canal cruise.

Kyle Here: So, we went to the Rijkmuseum today, and saw some very impressive Dutch paintings, silverwork and stuff. "The NightWatch" painting is there, and is fairly overwhelming. Also, we went to the Van Gogh museum, which was impressive as well, somewhat small but very manageable. I was fond of the temporary Max Beckman exhibit which was about as large as the permanent exhibit. I was struck by his triptychs, very symbolic paintings.
We did alot of walking today. My feet hurt, and I didn't even have crazy Euro shoes on while walking around. It was a day to eat cheese, since that is about all I ate today, and bread. It seems the Danish love meat, like big Argentinian grilled meat. And of course weed. Not that they eat it, but if they could I imagine they would.
I learned a few things today--- Dutch motorcycle police are polite (translation- wimps)even when trying to arrest someone, the Reality Bar is not about reality at all, and the Dutch sure know how to make waffle cones and waffle cookies, and possibly even Belgian waffles, but not so sure yet. Also, that Jarae does not like taking pictures, at least not of me. I also realized I will never have enough money to buy all of the things I want, but I have more than I need.
Also, I have attended two 'meetings' here, and they are rather 'touchy-feely' in a weird psycho babble sort of way. But after having coffee with some guys afterwards, it seems that the same stuff goes on here too, with all the same personality before principles issues as at home.

I believe if there are 2 words that do not exist in the Dutch language, privacy and washcloths. Let me explain:
Privacy—I arrived a couple of hours before Kyle. I get in the room unpack, take a shower, and plan to take a little nap prior to his arrival. So once I do fall asleep, I hear a knock at the door. A little dazed and confused, I assume it is Kyle. Well before my feet can touch the floor, the door opens, and it is some guy who works for the hotel. He says he is sorry, and that he knocked several times (doubtful). I lay back down, just as I am about to fall asleep, there is another knock at the door. I think this has to be Kyle. Once again, before I can get out of bed the door opens. I don’t see anyone, but I say Hello. Then I hear a women say Sorry! Geez what is up with the place. I lay back down. Five minutes later there is another knock at this door. Now I am about to go postal. If that isn‘t Kyle then someone is going to get hurt. This time I literally jump from the bed. I open the door, and it is Kyle. Then early evening, I am in the room while Kyle is out exploring, and I am trying to get some sleep. There is a knock at the door. Now what do these people want. Well at least this guy waited for me to get to the door before barging in. He wants to check the contents of the mini bar. I inform him that we just arrived today, and nothing has been removed. He says he still needs to check. Alright then. So he does his inventory, and then asks if he can come back later to restock. I tell him I am trying to sleep and if he can just do this tomorrow. He replies, Oh I am sorry, I will inform the front desk of this and we will not disturb you. I wish someone would had done this 8 hours earlier.
Washcloths—There were no washcloths when I arrived. I assumed it was just something that was missed. So when Kyle returned from his explorations, he was going to run down to the front desk for something, so I asked him to see if he could ask them for some. When he returns, he said they would place some at our door in the AM. OK then. So in the AM there was nothing in front of the door. Kyle calls the front desk and asks for washcloths. The response on the other line was..What?? So we were trying to think of other words for washcloths or give them a better description. However, that didn’t seem to work, but they said they would bring some up. A few minutes later the phone rings, and they I inform us that the towels are outside our door. They didn’t knock, because we had the Do Not Disturb sign on the door. However, you will call us?? So what did we get?? No washcloths…just hand towels. Note to self: Next time in Holland bring loofa.

Kyle here: I wanted to update on my flight experience. I would recommend flying KLM airlines, however, if it could be arranged that no East Indian are present, or even children in general, it would make the flight superb. Maybe just not having a small reddish brown child kicking the back of my chair the entire nine hour flight would have made for a more pleasurable experience.
However, the movies and music are a nice touch, and the vegetarian meals are good too.
Amsterdam is beautiful and there are many people out and about, riding bikes, and little smart cars.
I am looking forward to going to some museums tomorrow, and maybe taking a boat on the canals.
I will try to take more and more comphrensive photos tomorrow as to better illustrate what we are experiencing.
I have been up like 36 hours now, but don't really seemed to be phased by it, but will be sleeping soon after writing this. I think the excitement of a new place is overwhelming sometimes. It really is beautiful here, ... and watching all the Euro trash fashion victims is fun as well.

Amsterdam
Well we both made. Everything went very smooth for both of us! Yeah! When Kyle arrived we walking down to the City Center. All sorts of shops and outdoor eating along the canals. I ran across a Camper shoe store that was having a sale. Yikes!! Kyle was trying to talk me into buying some. Bad Kyle. A fabulous looking cheese shop, and the flower market. They have a bulb for every known tulip known to man and then some. Then we headed back. I have been up for more than 24 hours. So I am back in the room chillen. Hoping I can fall asleep soon. Kyle went to go do a little more exploring. I will be posting some pics on picasa today. Now I am going to go drink my tea and read my magazine. (Bickel:guess who is on the cover of my magazine?? That's right...Bond...James Bond)
So PS...I went to the blogger site and it is in Dutch, so I went with it. I pretty much know where to click. I then went to spellcheck, and majority of the words show that they are misspelled. Well it is because they are not Dutch. I thought I totally had lost my ability to write in English.

Well it is about 2 weeks before we leave. Seriously, I need to leave soon, so that I will stop shopping. I raided the travel section of Target last weekend. I swear I have every travel size of anything a person needs. I did stop myself from purchasing travel size container of Tide detergent. It was quite a cute litte container. Since we will be gone for 3 1/2 weeks probably a practical purchase, but I just don't think there is room. I have to save room for the SHOES!!!!

OUCH!!
Today I had to go get my shots before I leave on my trip. I did some research on the CDC site. Of course they have quite a few shots listed that they reccommend you get. I wasn't looking forward to today.
I went to Travel Medicine @ UW hospital. I walked into the hospital, and I hear over the intercom was Code Red and then apparently some hospital code folliowed the code signal. I know what Code Blue means, and Code Black (thank you Gray's Anatomy). However, Code Red nope! I get downstairs, and there is a police officer directing traffic in the hall. He is not letting people through a certain door, but he did let me go through the door I needed to. Never found out what was goin on.
Finally made it and gor 4 shots, Hepatitas A, Typhoid, Measles booster, and Polio booster. I also have malaria pills and antibotics. So I am all set. Right now I have a sore arm, it hurts to lift, and sore joints. Side effects of the measles. So I am off o bed early, hoping all this soreness will be done with in the AM.

Vegas....Livin as a Highroller!
Here is what I get for workin @ Nintendo...an upgrade to the highroller suite.
I go to check in @ Caesars Palace. I got lucky. The guy checking me in pulls up my name and says "You work @ Nintendo! That is so cool! I love the Wii!" So I asked if he had one and he said yes, and proceeded to tell me he and his friends play it all the time an d the love the bowling game. He then picks up the phone and tell the person on the other line to look up my name. Now I am a little concerned. Is there something wrong with my credit card or did I do something the last time I was there and they don't want me in their hotel?
Then the guy says "That is exactly what I said!" Then he makes a few UH-HU sounds, and then hangs up the phone. He looks at me and says that was my manager. Me:"UH-OH" "We upgraded your room to a suite. This is something we normally do for high rollers, but we think it is cool that you work at Nintendo!" Me: " Very cool...Thanks alot!"
Who would of thunk that the Wii would be so cool!
