Amsterdam 2024 – Day 2

Started the second day walking towards the inner central part of Amsterdam (as that’s where we were meeting a group for dinner. Stopped by a stroopwafels store and got an Oreo sprinkled one (a bit ok rich for me. Also stopped by two Cafe bars along the way to just get some Aperol Spritz’s. Also strolled around the Red Light district (couldn’t find the g version of it though).

Also stopped by a cheese store (didn’t know that Gouda was big there).

While we were walking around, they were filming a sequel to a 1988 movie, Amsterdamned. Gonna check it out.

We eventually arrived at the place we were meeting people for food called China Sichuan Restaurant – Zeedijk. Details can be found here:

On the walk back to our hotel, we then went to a local bar for 30 minutes that had an ADE event. The DJ that was playing was Jasper Pol.

After, it was time for the main part of the night, going to the Techno Temple of the world, Gashouder, where Awakenings was happening. The main DJ that night was Adam Beyer. (Some notes about Gashouder is that they use a token system for drinks, they don’t serve whisky, security is pat downs, you should try out the bleachers for good lighting visuals, and necklaces can get stolen from you). We were the for around 6 hours.

Flew into AMS with United business class (50K points + $600). Also, seems like iPad holder could fit a large iPad Pro.

Checked into Park Centraal Hotel. Conveniently located near one of the ADE venues Melkweg, and also just close to high end shops in general (ie Rimowa… which I mention specifically because a friend’s wheel broke off during they’re travel to AMS and they got it fixed).

After checking in, we walked around a bit to grab some liquor and water. Then we Ubered to a pop up ADE set where Oliver Heldens and Eli Brown played a b2b. It was located at a store called Glamcult. They even have free beer and Redbull! Only complaint was that it was really hot.

After, we had dinner at a place called Momo. Details can be found here (only slight annoying? thing is that some girl named Nina was very insistent on hanging out):

We then got ready for a night at Melkweg where we mainly saw Oliver Heldens. The venue had a main room and a side room. We were there for around 4 hours.
