Last of the Sane Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hey! Being Vegan in Amsterdam should not be a problem. It's easy to buy veganfood there, and there are some (but not so many) restaurants where you can eat vegan. There's a vegancommunity in amsterdam, but it's not so big. What are you going to study in amsterdam? Greets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Just stick to eating marijuana and you'll be fine...lots of chlorophyll which is very alkaline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelhobson Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hey, check out veganfitness.net , the 2007 Vegan Fitness Week is going to be in Amsterdam!!! From what I've heard the city is pretty vegan friendly. If all else fails there should be 30+ fit vegans descending on the place mid-summer.

What are you going to study in amsterdam? Greets! Me? I'm still a sophomore, when i move to Amsterdam I'll have to finish my 2 last years of High School ( or ''Upper School'' in europe, i believe ), and then when i graduate I'm hopefully going to a college in Amsterdam study the financial area.. I hope that the school where I'm going to, is vegan-friendly. Hey, check out veganfitness.net , the 2007 Vegan Fitness Week is going to be in Amsterdam!!!

Kathryn Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 My associations with Amsterdam: prostitutes, diamonds, legal marijuana...and a tacky youth hostel some friends and I were going to stay in, until we went up to our room, and there was a naked fat man with a gross hairy back sleeping in one of the beds. The owners claimed that no one was up in the room, but we complained so much, we got our money back (in spite of the 'no refunds' sign). The town we went to instead was beautiful!: lots of apartments over stores with lace curtains and plants in the windows and beautiful woodwork, and there I did find a veg*n restaurant (which has signs up in it about animal rights and feminist protests going on and other cool stuff)...so I assume Amsterdam may have some restaurants as well.

jonzen Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Kathryn, I want to travel with you! The images of lace, diamonds, and a naked fat man with a hairy back make for very rich visual stimulus! I can imagine Joni Mitchell singing a song about it!

The events are open to anyone and the food is first class vegan gourmet. You should check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me The only things i remember about Amsterdam, is that they had cyclists everywhere, and also people on inline skates..a lot of them.. restaurants in front of the beaches.. friendly people, a lot of crazy people, normal people too.. , several places to relax, boats, boats, ships, ships and boats.. =D, beautiful ( old-fashioned ) houses.. and several other things.. it's one of the best places in europe, for all kinds of people. ( Hopefully for vegans too.. =D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
