January 19, 200917 yr After 5.5 years spending, learning, enjoying and suffering in Thailand, I've decided to head back to Holland. The main reason is, that I still have to work until I'm 65 and that's for another 18 years. I could stay in Thailand and live happily on what I get now, but on a longer term it wouldn't be good enough to live on after my 65th. Since Thailand is a better place for holiday-makers and retirees (in general), I decided to change my longstay position into a lot of short stay-position over the next 18 years. Last week I got an offer I couldn't reject. If I did, I would be a thief of my own pocket. House, Job and Car are waiting for me, so on the 4th of Feb I'll be heading for Holland, powered by China Air. So, ladies and gentlemen. I will be a member after all, but my posts/replies will be more from the point of view of someone who isn't living in the center of the activity anymore. I learned a lot over the last years and I will absolutely never forget my impressions (pos and neg).
January 19, 200917 yr Good move Joseph! I think that when we move to Thailand, part of the reason is we really need a break, especially from work. So now you've had a very long break, working might be fun for a while, and if not, you can always quit. Timing is good too because if a worldwide depression, it's a good time to be employed. Good luck!
January 19, 200917 yr You are young and it seems like you have a great opportunity ahead of you. I am sure you will be back again and retire in LOS when ready. Best of luck in your new job and keep us posted on your trips and adventures.
January 20, 200917 yr Joseph, is there still some action in Amsterdam to tide you over? Not sure, but if you have plenty of Euros, you can find action anywhere.
January 20, 200917 yr Joseph, is there still some action in Amsterdam to tide you over? Oh sure there will some action here and there. Discovered a nice bar in my area where they offer a special Sunday Evening Underwear-off party (????) Have to find out what that implies........certainly no underwear. If I'm allowed I will incidentally report on my "GayNederland" experiences.
January 22, 200917 yr Joseph If you have been away from the Gay scene in Amsterdam for 5+ years then I am sorry to have to tell you that you are in for a MAJOR shock... Of my favourite places the following institutions have closed... April Bar Aero Hotel Whynot/Blueboy Boys for Men IT Try It Boy Bar Thermos Night Sauna gerefan

April Bar Aero Hotel Whynot/Blueboy Boys for Men IT Try It Boy Bar Thermos Night Sauna gerefan I was never very involved in the Amsterdam gay scene........wasn't even aware of the existance of the bars mentioned. To be honest, I am used to frequent more general venues, and less 'theme' bars.
