ivankiss Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Was approached by a super cool Mexican dude while playing guitar. We nerded out hard. We're into the same bands n shit. He plays guitar too... Just so cool. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Shortly after, an English gentleman joined the chat. Another fellow guitar player. You would expect a battle of egos, right, but it didn't happen at all. It was the most chill, down to earth experience. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 We played pool in the bar and talked until 4AM. Epic times. Too bad the Mexican dude is already leaving today. But the Englishman is staying for a few more days. Should be fun. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Also bonded with one of the receptionists last night. Such a sweetheart that guy is. Just so incredibly cool. Gave me tons of info regarding work and moving here in general. Epic win. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Good news is, they're really hiring here on every corner, and there might be a loophole where I start working first and get a tax file number later on. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Money is going fast, not gonna lie, but I'm also not holding back too much. Point is, it would be tight, but if I really wanted it, I could squeeze through. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 But of course I also want to go back home and be with her. At least for another week or two. Then I would come back again. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 FYI, if you ever decide to randomly move to Amsterdam... You can survive the day with around 50€ (bed, food, metro, etc) If you want to enjoy the city a bit more, it will cost you around 150€ daily. And if you really want to extract all the juices, it's going to be 300 and upwards. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Must not forget, that all of this was enabled by the dude who was working his ass off and sweating his balls off back in Slovenia. Is there really no way around the sacrifice? Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Tell you what though... If she was here, we would still be one of the hottest couples around. Even in Amsterdam. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Be to honest, I am pretty sure I can go down the route of fuck the system, walk into any of this places that are looking work workers and start earning money right away. It's just that I know if I make that move, I really sealed the deal. I'm staying. Like, for real real. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Haha. Life is art indeed. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 I am pretty fucking sure Amsterdam is home. Yup. But am I really just staying here now? For good? Yeah, not so sure about that. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Oh shit just the perfect song came on out of nowhere. The woven web. Been a while. Perfect mood walking the gray city streets. It's a cloudy day and I'm dying for the architecture. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivankiss Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 Looks like there is no way around this waiting line. The earliest I can get my tax file number is in November. I'm heading back to Slovenia until my appointment. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 A bit bummed out for leaving, but excited for seeing her soon. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 In any case, must make my way back ASAP. This is where I want to be, it's obvious. But let's be honest, I'd prefer not to work. I'd prefer just to stay in hotels, make music and trade. Must make it happen. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 I got a good taste of Amsterdam and I loved it. I'll be back in no time. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
