I just basically sold my liver, kidneys, future children and took out a mortgage on a house I don't even own yet, all so that I can see as much of the world as possible while I'm over here this semester. That's right, I just bought a ticket to Amsterdam! We have a long layover which means we get to walk around Hungary too, but the round trip ticket cost 166euro, and the fees and taxes cost 155euro, which seemed a bit excessive, so for the flights just to get there and back, I just let the airlines bleed out about $413 from me. How I'm supposed to A) come up with the money for the hostel and anything I do while I'm there and B) have anything left to see anywhere else this semester, I have no idea. I'm still excited though, and I've heard organ removal is a great way to quickly lose weight, even if it does hurt a bit. Oh well, I don't carry a ducttape wallet because I'm used to carrying a lot of money around, right?
So ummm... anyone have any ideas of what we should do when we get there?

Hey it'll never be cheaper to travel than when you're as close as you are now. You MUST rent bikes in Amsterdam and ride like a lunatic around the canals. The museums are def. worth a visit. Barney's Breakfast Bar has good American breakfast food. Amsterdam is also a great place if you're looking to sell an organ. They have a black market for everything! Be careful at night; lots of pimps, pushers, addicts and pickpockets about. Whatever you do, do not take pictures of the ladies. I saw a lady bull rush and beat up a girl for doing that. The Flying Pig is a good party hostel if you're looking to meet people. If you're looking for something more laid back, like on a boat with a deck and kitchen (cheap food!), this houseboat is nice:

Are you going to Budapest, or just stuck at the airport in Hungary?
