OMG, I haven't been to this page for far too long.... About Amsterdam: I would like to come, but I don't know if I'll be "available" that date - will know soon though. But it will be getting up early man; I live in Maastricht; have to get the train at 9am to be in Amsterdam at noon xD (but ok, my dad lives even further (4h by train), so I'm used to travelling :P). About the bookstores: I've indeed seen yaoi manga's in the Selexys bookstore in Amsterdam (and also here in Maastricht xD). Yellow indeed :P. There's the "vrolijk" gay bookstore, don't know if they also sell manga. (I'm a guy btw ). BTW: I've written a wikipedia-page of BL in the Dutch wikipedia last week. Would anyone mind to 'review' it? Here's the link: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shonen-ai Reactions to it can be placed here: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overleg...r:Tenth_Plague
The10thPlague: I'm going to maastricht for a weekend! can you tell me if there's anything I should check out? Oh and since I don't understand wikipedia at all, and it's just one thing, as far as I know BL is used to describe mangas/games/anime/etc with boys love content, explicit or not. Like 'BL-games' those are often very explicit :3
Wowie coool, a guy (i leave at 9 also:P) hope you can come too The10thplague. more people How crazy are you all btw?:P very important on how i should behave haha:P
o and Thnx Kreatio for putting my friend on the list
Yay, I hope you can come, The10thplague (it's kind of funny to call someone a plague, and knowing that they won't be insulted because it's their 'name'. Heh ^^). I really think that it'll be very cool!! So tell me when you know, so I can (hopefully) put you on "the list". It sure is a long way from Maastricht! If you'd rather leave a little later, we could arrange that too? Oh, and i'll look at your wiki-page later, becuase I kind of have to go now ^^ And... uhm.. how crazy am I? Pretty crazy ^^ I tend to get crazier the longer you know me. So, you don't have to behave around me I'm used to myself.
Hehe. I'm pretty much crazy, no need to worry . Oh btw: When I start talking, I can't STOP talking (im very talkative); hope thats not a problem xD. It doesn't need to be earlier - I'm used to travelling. Have to get the train at 7am in the morning at weekdays so taking the train at 9am won't be a problem xD. @Kumi-kun: You'll certainly have to see the main three squares in the centre: Markt (Mêrret), 't Vrijthof (Vriethof), Onze Lieve Vrouwe Plein (Sleevrowweplein (don't know it this one is spelled right, dialects are difficult when writing :P)). If it's a nice day, you MUST take a 'terrasje' (dont know the english word) at Onze Lieve Vrouweplein. It may seem full, but you can find a place most of the time xD. Oeh, and after that you ofcourse light a candle at the Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk; de oldest building in NL. (Not that I'm religious though, im certainly not). And go to the Selexys bookstore: It's IN an old church :P. And ofcourse you must see things like Helpoort, the City Wall (yep, part of it is still there). And try to follow the river Jeker a bit upstream (the jeker is a small river that comes into the Maas in the centre of the city). A bit further upstream there are very beautiful sights; medieval buildings hanging over the Jeker and so. Most tourists don't know the existence of that . And if you like chocolate: buy some bonbons at Oliviers, they're so jammy xD xD. And about eating:When go get back, you'll probably be a few kg heavier due to all the bourgondic food xD . (just kidding :P). But Maastricht actually is a city for 'slenteren' (don't know the english word for that too).
Thank you for your very nice 'uitnodiging' [forgot the word, what a shame XD], but I think that from where you are.. and where I live.. It's almost impossible. I live in Katwijk in Zuid-Holland. Most of the people here will probably not even know where it is... /what a shame. My mother is really - and I mean really - protective. So I told her I was going to visit this friend of mine in Amsterdam [which I actually have a huge fight with.. but whatever >.<] And now the boyfriend of my sister wants to bring me. But how do I explain where he has to bring me when I don't know which people I will meet ;O So, at first.. do we like.. meet at Amsterdam Central? I've never been there, I live in a town.. so a Trainstation is kind of like .. HUGE ... for me XD I feel like some kind of foreigner. Anyway, maybe that there is someone from my age [I'm 16], so I can walk to that person or something. XDXD I talk to much... XD
Well, I´m 18, and a guy, maybe that's recognizable Amsterdam Centraal is a kind of mayhem atm; it's one big building site. But a ' herkenningspunt' (forgot the word, sorry) would be the AH at the end of the station's large shopping tunnel (I forgot wether it's at the end of Damrak, or the other end, sorry xD).
How about if I make a flag with the words YAOI on it? Good idea The10thPlague !! Let's meet up at the AH Kreatio: you can put Miriashi on the list too ? Is there nobody coming through Nijmegen?? (sorry dramaqueen mode) I can understand your uncertainty ChibiYunie.... but, I'm 35, so all I can do is mother you But you're probably not waiting for that
Ok, i'm gonna update the list ! *yay* So, it's now: Sas399 ChibiYunie Toran + Friend Kreatio The10thplague (heh, now there's no turning back ) Miriashi (uhm... who is this, actually? *shy smile* I'm not putting someone on the list twice, now, am I?) Wow, it's going well ^^ AH's a good idea, but if you're still afraid you can't find it, maybe we can come pick you up on the platform where you arrive, ChibiYunie
