Coffeeshops

Let's get this clear once and for all:

Cafe: a place to sip some coffee and chill
Coffeeshop: a place to sniff soft drugs

Unique Suggestions: So if you're a clean innocent shimmering soul like moi, stay away from coffeeshops, particularly if theyh ave a marijuana painted in neon lights on their enterance.

Fun Alternatives: Sniff some pot scented candles? hehe- I know I keep repeating this, but i totally burst laughing when I saw that in a store.. pot scented candle! hehe!!!

Unique Suggestions: Enjoy the ride :-) haha

Fun Alternatives: Watch the figures outside...

If you buy a dog you have to pay money....its for the cleaning of the doodaahs they leave behind on the street....and maybe more, but i clean it always myself cause i think its very durty to leave it where the dog left it.
We have to pay about € 80 for a year...and it comes back every year. If you have a second dog you pay more and a third is even more expensive...
On this picture you see my sister Nicolette with Diesele just before take off.

The terraces on the Grote Markt look nice, but are a bit of a tourist trap. Crap service, noisy etcetera.
