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\u2019s. Also strolled around the Red Light district (couldn\u2019t find the g version of it though).<\/p>\n<p>Also stopped by a cheese store (didn\u2019t know that Gouda was big there).<\/p>\n<p>While we were walking around, they were filming a sequel to a 1988 movie, Amsterdamned. Gonna check it out.<\/p>\n<p>We eventually arrived at the place we were meeting people for food called China Sichuan Restaurant &#8211; Zeedijk.

The DJ that was playing was Jasper Pol.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2000\" src=\"http:\/\/travel.johnmatienzo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_0542.jpg\"
