Do you have a two for one deal?

A night out in Amsterdam is no cake walk! After freshening up for the evening we headed down to our hostel lobby for a few free beers. We had about a half hour to kill before we needed to head to the pub crawl. We have found out that no matter how late you went out, the sun never seems to really set so drinking by 8:30 didn't seem so bad. We payed 20 euro for a night around the city, free pub shirt, unlimited shots between venues and 6 beers or wine (we didn't quite make it that far). For being wrapped up by a bunch of promotions staff earlier that day it was extremely packed with students from all over. Our first stop was empty, being 8:30 and all, and we started off with their famous 0 degree heineken. They would literally walk around with bottles pouring shots in your mouth...that could get outta hand in no time! We eventually found out the hard way that you have to pay to use the bathroom at the pubs after a certain hour. Well, this hour had approached and we thought we might be able to slide into one stall - you know, two for one deal - but that didn't slide with the potty police. They seem to treat pub crawls a little different around here cause by about 11:30 we were only at the 3rd bar. This called for a little intermission cause we were starving and of course had waited until we were dancing in our chairs to use the bathroom. Mcdonalds being next door and food choices not being a priority we were both in line in no time. Without hesitation I walked up to the cashier and with complete confidence asked for 'a double cheeseburger with fries'. Well, this may be mcdonalds but supposedly they don't follow the diet of us Americans and I was forced to settle for a single patty and no fries... Oh and you had to pay for ketchup? We never made it back to the pub crawl and chose to sit by the canal as Kim ate some nasty Asian dish and we watched some crawlers crawl past. We met a few Australians from the crawl who Kim really enjoyed, many people we met were from Australia, they told us all about their journey around Europe and then 7 more weeks in the states!! They walked us home to ensure a safe arrival and when we walked into our queen sized room it looked like a bomb went off. Our new bunk mates, about 10 students from Spain, had taken over the place like it was their own. A few short hours of sleep later we were back up and heading out to Berlin, we are sitting on the train about 4 1/2 hours into the 6 hour ride. Kim is passed out cold with her mouth wide open like an animal and her shoes are tied tight..technically this makes her a perfect victim for torture but there is still 4 more weeks left... ;-)
