Im new to amsterdam!!! =(

hey all my name is Tiki
like for real
im 18 and decided to get up and move from the states.
i decided to move where i believe i would be the happiest

that place is Amsterdam

i have only lived here for about a week now
i love the atmosphere
what should i look out for
and being an american i am expecting to get attitude
i also only speak english but im slowly trying to understand others

anyone help em out maybe i can make a few friends its lonely here not knowing anyone

stay concious and observe.....soon iill be where ii wanna be too.......

and tht is?

what do you do out in amsterdam, for money/living expenses

nvm
dont need to send out to much personal information
i won a settlement and i dont really hurt for money

I woould lay low and not advertise the fact that you have access to cash. Do not dress like some asshole American with the white tennis shoes & all. The coffeeshops are a great place to meet some good folks. Talk to the guys or girls behind the counters, they are cool. Tye & learn a little Dutch to blend in. Don';t tell anybody evrything about yourself. I was there two yrs. ago and it was great! However, there are ALOT of pick-pockets and others trying to hustle somebody/everybody. Keep your passport and other valuables hidden from sight. Even your money. Keep it in your front pocket. You will make friends, just hopefully the right kind. Best of luck, I am a bit jealous!!

ha ty no i deff dont look american im very laid back
rasta style (not jamacan tho)
i have dreads and pretty much a hippie i tend to blend in alright i dont stick out i can tell that for sure yeah i have noticed some hustlers
havent run into any pick pockets
hope i dont

I envy you!! LOL
I'm saving for a trip to Amsterdam. Hopefully I will be back in one piece
Good luck there, bro!

hey if ur ever lookin for someone to show u a few cool things hit me up b/c i would love to make sum RIU friends in real life

ethiopia is where ii wanna be....ii wanna take a trip to amsterdam..really just because ii wanna bring some seeds backk ii never heard of...lol...

go to some coffee shops man, lol . btw dont tell them you are American, because they fucking hate ppl from the US

the dutch are sound there are always dodgy feckers where ever u go.
the ones u gotta watch out for are eastern europeans alot of them are dodgy and
blatant with it.
stick with nationalities your familiar with and remember nothings free.

well of course

how much did it cost you to move? just curious, i hate the states now and im ready to move

next to nothing
my grandmother passed
i sold the house she left me and packed wht i needed and left
bought a 638,000 euro penthouse

just remember that movie hostile
