He's so upset about Werewolf that not only did he get absolutely wasted, he also wants to leave the country.

:sad:

I'm going to a place where people will appreciate my arguments.  :razz:

Might be best to ask a native about Amsterdam, try the Fris-twins though I don't know if they live there.

Not in Amsterdam as such, only been there once for like two days. I have the distinct impression it's not actually all that special as far as the netherlands go and the place is swarming with tourists, hipsters and the rather rude and filthy native amsterdammers. :razz:

Weed is easy to find there but again, that's nothing special and I don't think it's what Melter is looking for anyway. Any place with a sizable population of (foreign) students and lots of tourists will have a bunch of shops for that stuff.

Getting a place to live in Amsterdam will be either very difficult or very expensive. You'll want a city in the area and then commute through public transport (or by bicycle if you want to grow MAHOOSIVE thighs) although everything around Amsterdam or even in the general randstad area is going to be pretty costly, rent-wise.

An education/course/whateverIneverknowwhattocallitinEnglish is about 2k per year so in a city like Amsterdam your rent is going to be more expensive, I'd wager.

Ofcourse Netherlands still betterlands so don't let me dissuade you from anything. :razz: I don't have a lot of experience with the city but I do have a few biases. It's certainly not the only place you'll find canals and coffeeshops, that's for sure.
 
Yeah, not interested in weed.

To expand a little, I'm just looking for a place that is "interesting," big, and has lots of things to do/places to explore. Preferably not in an area outside the city in order to avoid commutes over 45 minutes - though I'm totally fine with a place like Brooklyn where I could be go from my apartment to the "main" city in ~10 minutes. I realize every city worth living in is expensive, but I have no interest in doing anything exciting with my money right now outside of paying for student loans (and have no intentions of ever starting a family, so it isn't like I have to save for that). I'm more interested in living in a new, cool place that I can immerse myself in without having to do the standard "get in my car to drive to my 9-5 job" lifestyle - I want to LIVE!
 
Albuquerque. It's definitely interesting. Cost of living is cheap. And it's got plenty of hipsters to keep all the good restaurants and breweries in business. Only downside is it's a sprawled out city so you need a car to get around unless you live right in the downtown area and don't plan on going anywhere else. Which is completely doable. Also stay away from south valley. Lots of gangs.
 
One of my friends suggested that (as well as Austin), but I'd much prefer to live further north if I was to stay in the US - San Francisco is an exception because it is the only "real city" in California.
 
Mostly, yes. Also like the "culture" more there and because I prefer more coastal areas of the US - they feel less desolate. Chicago is the exception in that case (well, still by water), but it makes up for it by being a cool city in general.
 
Doesn't matter, but I already know where I am looking in the US - I'm more interested in figuring out non-US cities to look into (as the thread suggests).
 
Ah, of course.
But, in case you do wind up stuck in americca, I dont suggest the east coast. Or, more specifically, Neew York. Or, even more specifically, Western New york. But dont mind that, because youre not staying here  :wink:
