Amsterdam

Between Dusseldorf and Germany I saw many strange and exotic snack foods. One, an "Autogummie" was titled "Total Loss" and featured black semi-truck and car shaped gummies. Another was a kind of beef stick, called "Bifi" and was endorsed by a cartoon stick of meat with an exploding head. I also discovered a corporate lifestyle magazine called "Business Punk". http://www.business-punk.com/

The array of available sex devices displayed openly in the windows of little shops along the boulevards is baffling, wedged in right next to stands selling battered hot dogs and deep fried waffle donuts. Many sizes and materials of dildo, artificial vaginas, some simply an enhanced rubber tube, others with an entire attached torso. Rubber orbs resembling a single disembodied breast can be found lined up on glass shelves in order of size. You can get them in a natural realistic size down to a tennis ball-sized version, maybe to be used discretely under the desk at the office or as a type of stress ball.

Also, in case you didn't know, Amsterdam is the Berkeley of the Old World. Golden, muscular, spliff-smoking extraterrestrial sculptures and giant toadstool nick nacks litter the sales-floors of head shops along the avenues. There is a gas mask with a bong attached to the front and a Rasta hat complete with dread wig attached to the the top.

That's all for now
