Normally I am totally annoyed by useless stuff shared all over and cluttering my inboxes. I don’t share many videos from YouTube, but this one is different and I can’t help myself!

Indy’s BLOG – Status Update 2018
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!
“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?

Indy’s BLOG – Jackpot @ Kashmir Lounge!
Yesterday we, Roberta, Rossy, Vil and me, went to our favorite place “The Kashmir Lounge” in Amsterdam, Jan Pieter Heijestraat, and celebrated the 20.th anniversary with a huge party. Everyone was invited to share the moment, have a nice evening with friends, dance, drink and enjoy a bite of finger food. Good vibes all over, happy people enjoying the evening and celebrating a milestone in Amsterdam’s nightlife. I was invited too, because what is a party without “The Shop-Dog”? 🙂
20 Years Kashmir Lounge
The Kashmir Lounge is just a few meters down the road and we are “regulars”. I feel very welcome. I really like the staff, all of them are so nice to me and whenever I pop in for a “sniff and greet”, there is a cookie for me, even the lady who normally really fears dogs was smiling at me. NOICE-Bark!
The party was a huge success for everyone, especially the Kashmir Lounge. We had a wonderful time a happy and good night. Nice people dancing, chatting and laughing. I like to see the people in a good mood.
Ecstatic Dancing
Vil is standing in the corner and dancing ecstatically.
The Lottery
As a highlight, there was a small lottery and everyone present participated.
Third Price!
The third price was announced first. “White 84” said the guy on stage and Vil checked his tickets, but he had no Luck. “Naaaa,…. Green 83…, that does not count!” We hear someone happy shouting and we have a first winner. A base cap, some chocolate a hoody and a little “surprise present” in an envelope. The crowd is applauding.
Second Price
Then the second price was announced and Vil drew again nothing, but the guy who won the third price shouted again “Winner!”. I barked to Vil: “No luck, so far?” Vil turned around. “Hey, you better wish us luck, if we win, we will have the best Christmas ever, if not, we will be totally broke by tomorrow.” The party continues with an announcement: “We will have a bit of music now, then draw the first price and see if we have a different winner then.” The crowd is cheering.
“Let’s go out and have a shit.!”, I barked, but Vil said: “NOPE! Not now, the first price will be announced soon and I don’t want to miss it.”, so I have to squeeze it for now.
Jackpot!
The music stops. “Now it’s the moment all if you are waiting for. The first price.” The whole bar becomes silent and the big ticket is drawn. “We have a winning ticket, it’s white…..” Vil has some white tickets, but the light is not very good. “There is a small number on it………… And the winning number is …….. One Four Five…… one hundred forty-five white.” Vil checks his numbers …. “I do have a ticket with the right number, but I don’t know if the color is ok.”, he says. “Go to the stage and ask!”, I bark.
Vil is a bit shaky and walks through the crow to the stage. “I do have a ticket with 145, but I don’t know if the color is correct.” The guy on the stage invites Vil up on stage to show his ticket. “Let’s see if they fit.” It’s a tense moment, “…… WE HAVE A WINNER!” The crowd is ecstatic. Vil got the golden ticket and won tonight’s jackpot.
What’s the big price?
- A basecap
- A hoodie
- A pack of chocolate
- A mystery envelope with an undisclosed amount of money inside. !!!JACKPOT!!!
Vil was very happy to win the jackpot, but he was even more happy about the fact that he could share the moment with friends and people he loves. More dancing and party! 🙂
Later we went home, still happy and cheerful. This was a wonderful day, we really enjoyed the company and we had plenty of fun.
A PERFECT DAY!

Indy’s BLOG – 2.nd week on the floor finished!
Vil is working now four days a week. Every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday for ten hours. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday he is off. Actually a quite nice arrangement.
Now he finished his second week on the floor, facing the customer and saving uncounted holidays for guests in trouble.

Indy’s BLOG – Last day off!
From tomorrow on Vil needs to work from 10:00 to 20:30 from Tuesday to Sunday. Only four days a week and most of them he is at 120%, 160% or even 180% to 200%. It’s not a well-paid job, but with the extras, we can survive on Amsterdam.

Indy’s BLOG – TWAT! A stinky revenge.
Amsterdam’s bike culture is very nice, but there is a special group of mostly males between 17 and 25 which doesn’t give a shit about other people. Today we saw this prick and I donated a bag of freshly produced shit placed directly under the plastic bag on his seat as a present. On return he will have a ‘stinky surprise’. Unfortunately we need to leave and can’t witness the result of my assault. 🙂
