Jungle is Massive

Last night we went to a club here in Utrecht to go see DJ Aphrodite....part of the drum and bass scene. We expected to be the old ones in a crowd of 16 and 17 year olds...but there were actually older people there (20's). It was very crowded, as this was a small club. Not much space to dance around...as drum and bass is a favorite of M's. He and his friend Christoph are so fun to watch dancing. They are in their own world. Its cute, and its funny. Christoph's friend Wolfgang (aka 'Wolfy-baby' by Christoph) was also along for the fun. The place was packed with all these 'kids'...and its funny to watch how people dance and how they dress. I've never been to a rave before, but this was probably pretty similar to what its like. We had to wait through 2 other lesser known DJs first, then finally at 145am, Aphrodite came on. Its pretty intense music...'music' if you consider that kind of stuff music. I like it its fun, but after 20 or 30 minutes, it all is sort of the same thing...I think my ear drum even blew out because the music was so loud. Since it was so crowded, and M didn't have the space to dance as he'd like, we left at 3am. I think the club was open til 4. So of course we slept in for half of the day, til noon. Missed half the day, but the weather was just spectacular today. So perfect, in the 80s.

Queen's Day is Monday, but the party starts tomorrow...Flea markets and partying all over the city. Some real Dutch culture to explain and document! :-)

Missing the foam

Since the weather is so nice out, I'll keep it shorter than usual today. Yesterday was very busy at the hostel, and I checked in many Italians...I also made some coffee and espresso on the machine. I attempted several cappuccinos, but i can't get the milk to foam...I don't know what I'm doing wrong. So basically its a coffee with warm milk. it still tasted good. but it wasn't the right thing. i was supposed to leave between 7 and 730, but I ended up there til after 8pm because it suddenly got so busy. I also cut some more cheese slices...fun times. Since yet another soccer game was on tv, I didn't really spend any time talking to the Dutchie.
So, today I have the 'day off'...but its already mid-afternoon...I have to go to the grocery store once again - its like i go there everyday :-(
Tonight I actually am going out and enjoying some night life. I'm going to a concert at one of the clubs here in Utrecht, listening to some drum and bass. Finally! I can act my age again! Gotta get out and go to a bar/pub/club for once!
Have a fabulous Friday!
