Very strange. They need rides. How do they not have a windmill Ferris wheel?

reply

They do have attractions, like a VR rollercoaster and dinosaur exhibition. And a ferris wheel, but no windmill theme unfortunately.☹

Do they have weed bars?

They have a "coffee bar".

reply

Oh yeah. Holland and dinosaurs. Of course.

"I'm still trying to work out some jokes"

Only politically correct ones please!

I'm surprised it's worth as much as 5 euros.😑

reply

Here is the gold one (these are commemorative coins, worth more in bullion value than the stated amount, not ones you would find in your change)

Anything with one of the royals on it is worth shit!

“Only politically correct ones please!”

I listen to Joe Rogan a lot, and all the comics he’s had on this year all say this is the worst possible time to be a stand up comedian. These comics are all left leaning and they are all still afraid to make fun of anyone. I say anyone, but it’s more like half the things they used to joke about aren’t allowed any more.

People without a sense of humour are taking over the world!

If I started speaking Dutch there, how would they react???

reply

You would be treated like a royal

Woah, they'll just start giving me money I don't deserve?!

Japan is the craziest country I’ve ever been to. This theme park does not surprise me.

This reminds me of a story...

Three decades ago, I attended the "Christian Artists Retreat" in Holland. My father is a preacher and I tagged along with him on a ticket obtained by Frequent Flyer miles. So artists are artists and it became obvious pretty soon to me that the "Christian" part was kinda just for show. Some churchy stuff going on here and there but mostly a party.
I quickly became friends with the son of the administrator of the whole thing. Turns out European Christians don't have a hangup about smoking and drinking so I was able to beg cigarettes off my new friend (I was jonsing hard since I had quit for the journey).
So now the point of the story: While chumming around with him and his entourage, smoking and drinking, I had them teach me some Dutch. I had them teach me how to say "Hands up! This is a robbery!" They got a kick out of listening to me blunder my way through the tongue whiplash of their language.

reply

So how do you say it in Dutch???

reply

Are you kidding? That was almost 30 years ago. I forgot how to say it within three days of learning it. Dutch is a hard language. My mouth and brain feel the squeeze when I try.

reply

If I ever hit the lottery, I'm having one of those windmills built in my yard. It might not serve a practical purpose, but I've always loved them.

What about Sweden Hills? 🙃
