Indy’s BLOG – Don’t be such a TOURIST!

Leave a reply

Amsterdam, the capital of The Netherlands, is a beautiful town, famous for the Grachten, the Dutch food, the picturesque houses and surely the coffee shops. Amsterdam welcomes thousands of visitors from all over the world to spend their money and have a wonderful time.

Virtually everyone is very welcome to see the Reichsmuseum, the Leidseplein, the Dam Square, the Anne Frank House, the Vondelpark, many more attractions and have party, BUT there is “The Rally Annoying Tourist” who is not really liked.

Here are a few tips not to be “The Tourist” and if you follow them, you will enjoy a hazzle free stay!

Dont’s!

  • Don’t walk in groups and block the way. Please enjoy your viewing of wonderful Amsterdam and have a relaxed walk around, but don’t walk like a crowd of sheep and block the pathway, there are people living in this town which need to be somewhere some time. 🙂
  • Don’t walk on the bicycle lane, it’s dangerous! Dutch cyclists and scooter driver are most of the time quite fast on their way and it is really dangerous to walk on the bicycle lane. The bicycle lane should never be used for casual walking.
  • Be aware: “Smoking is not welcome everywhere!” Yes, Amsterdam is the town of weed and hashish and you can buy the stuff everywhere, BUT you are NOT welcome to smoke everywhere. You should only smoke at places where it is allowed and accepted and common sense dictates that you DON’T smoke at tram stations, other crowded places or wherever children are around.
  • It’s really cool to explore Amsterdam by bike, but don’t cycle like a JERK! You are welcome to cycle all over Amsterdam, but keep in mind that you don’t own the street, that you should respect pedestrians and always be alert to stop. It’s absolutely not ok to cycle in groups and clocking the streets or even falling totally stoned or drunk from a bicycle.
  • Don’t litter. Have your fast food and your drinks, but don’t throw your waste on the floor.
  • Allrite, talking about common sense. Just behave well and don’t be a jerk!

General Tips

  • Enter the tram at the correct entry. Don’t waste other peoples time by being an ignorant arse.
  • Be aware, there are pickpockets everywhere and they really like stoned and distracted people to steal your stuff. Always carry your important stuff like ID and money on your body.
  • Don’t buy drugs on the road! Amsterdam is quite tolerant for drugs, when you follow the legal path, but when you want something stronger and buy something on the road, you play with your life!, because there is a “pissing contest” going on between producers who can produce the strongest tablets and this is no good. This contest leads to the fact the pill you get today has more than five times the strength than pills a few years ago.
    If you really want to use other drugs than the legal ones available in the coffee shops, please let your drugs being tested before you enjoy them. You can test your drugs here -> DRUGTESTSERVICE! without any fear of legal problems.
  • Be aware that Amsterdam is a town living from tourists and unfortunately this brings also some shady people to Amsterdam which you better avoid. Be very careful when someone whats to be your friend too fast!

If you follow these easy steps, there’s nothing which can go wrong on your stay.

Indy’s BLOG – The 300th Post – Time to celebrate!

Leave a reply

Since my first post “Indy’s BLOG! – Vil, Victor and Indy on the road. A real story!” BY INDYTHEDOG ON FEBRUARY 22, 2016 we had an interesting journey, visited many countries. slept on the road and the beach, so many things happened and today I will publish the 300th post. I never thought that our journey will be so long and also I never expected to write so many posts, but with us, live always goes a different way than expected.

Feedback

I am really happy about the feedback I received. Ay first I thought they are just polite, but now I start to believe that I can write. 🙂 Most of the readers really like the blog and they think our story is interesting. Ok, every dog thinks her life is the most exciting life in the world, but after receiving so much positive feedback it made me think, that there might be something to our story which makes the people curious and read.

Statistics

You can believe me it was quite a bit of work to type all this with my paws. A mobile phone or a computer touchpad is not really made for dog usage. What started as a short note diary of our journey became a project we think might worth pursuing for our future.

Author statistics:

  • Brother-ONE   12,512 Words & 46 Posts Published
  • IndyTheDog    34,030 Words & 300 (plus) Posts Published

Estimating an average of 500 words to fit on one A4 page, we already wrote around 46k words / 500 = 82 DIN A4 pages and we are just starting to write content. 🙂 Not to forget all the unwritten stories and all the images. Plenty of stuff to add.

300 POSTS

300 posts telling the story of the unconditional belief in a better future, even if the odds are bad. A story of not giving up and trying hard to survive.  This is the 300th post and I am a bit proud of what we experienced the last two years. We started from literally zero and after many ups and downs, we are now on a good way to build a foundation for a future life.

We want to use 2018 to rewrite and complete our BLOG. We want to write our story as encouragement for others not to give up, to tell that there is always a second chance, even if the world has only pain and dark colours for you in the moment. Maybe we can publish our story, we will see.

The journey is over!

For now, we call the Story of “Vil, Victor and Indy on the Road” as officially ended, BUT we will continue to write and report from our ‘new and boring’ life. Sure there will be the occasional roller coaster and that’s no biggie, because “Who wants to have a ‘boring’ life?”

Publish?

We are thinking about “really” publishing our story and not only having a blog. Maybe I write a “road novel based on a true story” 🙂 or an audio book? I can imagine merchandise like “Indy’s preferred dog food” or a coffee mug with my picture. Who knows?!

I will try to find a publisher or someone to help me finishing, but whatever happens, I will continue to write and maybe some day we have success and if not, well, we tried. Positive thinking.

Indy’s BLOG – ARBO DOCTOR!

Leave a reply

Let’s talk about health today. Most of us take it for granted that we wake up in the morning, have a breakfast and go on with our lives. “Nothing special”, you might think and that’s exactly not true, because to be healthy is the most important thing in live and most likely you will come to this conclusion when you are sick and it’s too late to appreciate the “painless times”. We know the pain of waking up in the morning with a nausea feeling and the need to vomit until everything is out of the system, but unfortunately, this doesn’t help and the sick feeling won’t go away.

Indy’s BLOG – Status Update 2018

Leave a reply

Dear friends,

2018 just started, the year is only a few days old and the first big challenge for this year already arrived. Vil’s health becomes more and more erratic and very hard to control which leads to permanent discomfort, nausea and to a very unpleasant live experience. Fortunately Vil’s manager and his company offered all support they can give and they consider extending the existing contract as support. Vil is blown away. but sceptic, because he heard all that already a few times and the situation ended mostly by losing his job.

Anyhow, challenges are there to be mastered!

 

Indy’s BLOG – Happy 2018!

Leave a reply

“Tomorrow, today will be yesterday!”

Dear Friends,

With these wise words we want have a short look back and remember an exceptional year. A year which made us sad and happy. A year we met new friends and we needed to say goodbye to some. It was again a ‘roller-coaster’ year, with all up and downs, a time which we don’t want to miss, but we are happy to say goodbye to.

We are nearly a year in Amsterdam and after many stressful weeks, life became a bit more ‘normal’. I am looking forward to a new year with positive feelings and considering our actual situation we are good for now. We do have a wonderful flat, Vil takes care about his health and the company is very satisfied with his work and supportive with his”issues”. Seem, that he made a good impression and the employer wants to keep him.

Publish the BLOG?!

OK, enough sentimentality! 🙂

Looking forward to a new year, we are happy to welcome 2018. Every new year has a new challenge and 2018 already have a few ready for us.

Most important Vil’s health needs to get better. He is stable now, but improvement is still needed and he is on a good way.

Next, we need to we want to use 2018 to rewrite and complete our BLOG. We want to write our story as encouragement for others not to give up, to tell that there is always a second chance, even if the world has only pain and dark colours for you in the moment. Maybe we can publish our story, we will see.

The journey is over!

For now, we call the Story of “Vil, Victor and Indy on the Road” as officially ended, BUT we will continue to write and report from our ‘new and boring’ life. Sure there will be the occasional roller coaster and that’s no biggie, because “Who wants to have a ‘boring’ life?”

Save money for the dream!

The next months Vil will work as much as possible, we will life cheap and try to save as much money as possible and then finally buy a nice camper and spend our life somewhere more warm. Why pay hundreds of Euros a month for an overpriced apartment if you can have it way cheaper and the beach just a few meters away?

Yesterday Vil needed to go to the hospital (AGAIN!), because his stomach exploded again and he was feeling very sick. We know this already, but this time it was a bit different, because now they gave Vil a diagnose, he didn’t like. It seem that he has some ‘undefined’ masses in his kidneys and liver.

We need to wait for further tests to confirm the diagnose.
