<p>I'm so close to ucla I could breathe and blow it down.</p>
<p>u willl LOVE Amsterdam. I was there with my parents (very chill, 60's/70's hippie type radicals) a few years ago, and even though I was too young to do the coffee houses back then, they did and I have some really awesome places for you to go there. I was able to go to most places, drink and that, but not smoke, too young</p>
<p>take klm, it is great airline, and a train goes right from the airport to the city or by bus too. We did both. My mom showed me this hostel she stayed at a few times in the early '70's in the red light district; she said it was a flea bag back then and was like all in purple -- they changed the color, but it still looked like a flea bag. She knows a hostel that is way better if you need the info. Spring would be great. People there really cool; you have to love art museums and weird food. Indonesian food -- rice table, forget the name they use, really interesting stuff and street food, omg, it's great. You HAVE to see Night Watch by Rembrandt. and this whole Van Gogh museum by the Riksmuseum -- so cool. The Riksmuseum also has this whole collection of Franz Hals -- my mom showed me this one painting where the guy in the painting looked just like Mick Jagger! There's so much going on, from Anne Frank museum to canals to just the people who live there who are all nice and cool and want to talk to you and talk politics and stuff. It just will blow your mind. Sorry everyone else for going on about this!!! Quintessential 60's/70's. It's everything you think it is and want it to be. . . .!</p>
<p>keep wine and liqour bottles till they dry out, and then like...toss them late @ night or wait till the end of they year and make a triumphant march in front of ur narc RA's.</p>
<p>weed: basic, easy to smoke, inhale deeply, exhale slowly, first timers should use a joint or a pipe, not a bong.</p>
<p>acid: never done it, but have done other psycadellics (psylocibin mushrooms). acid lasts 8-14 hours, so be careful that u don't have anything important to do. psycadellics for the most part (except DMT and salvia) will drain u out the next day...like a hangover. take them in a comfortable, dimly lit place with friends, maybe one person sober to remember everything and keep u all safe. take a low dose of shrooms ur first time at least. acid is something u should really consider strongly, as it is a powerful psycadellic, but today's LSD is way less potent than anything our parents took (today's acid is 1/10 the strength of what it was in the 60's).</p>
<p>hope this helps, please be safe. to weed is fairly easy to find in a college town, acid is something you kinda just find. if u have a very hippy-ish dealer they can prolly point u in the right direction. but again, be careful, LSD is chemical so u really want to trust the person u get it from. same with shrooms, u don't want anything that's adulterated.</p>
<p>again, i am not advocating any of this, just giving safety tips.</p>
<p>for more info on doing some of these soft drugs safely, i suggest going to the podcast sight dopefiend.co.uk great, intelligent talk from the cannabis community and hilarious podcasts.</p>
<p>beat chick thanks for the info!! hopefully i'll have the funds to orchestrate such an endeavor soon!! and i'll contact u on that if/when i figure it all out!</p>
<p>I guess if you didn't want to use the school's internet service, you could bring your own dsl modem for whatever service you have or something, which would require the phone jack.</p>
<p>I would recommend bringing a Brita water filtering pitcher. The Bay Area water is not too bad. I bought bottled water by the case last year (which is expensive and difficult to carry back to the dorms.) A lot of people have the Brita pitchers.</p>
<p>also, breaking news on that issue, most of the major bottled water companies (coke, pepsi, neslte (which makes arrowhead) have been forced through legal action to reveal where the water comes from: the tap, and then they run it through a brita-like filter.</p>
<p>sparkletts is coke, so yah it's tap water, aquafina is pepsi, same thing, dasani as well....look up online to see who makes them. or just look on the labels (coke and pepsi and nestle i know for sure). google it.</p>
<p>Fiji Water has been criticized for the environmental costs embedded in each bottle. The production plant runs on diesel fuel, 24 hours a day[3]. The high-grade plastic used to make the bottles is transported from China to Fiji, and then (full of water) to the United States. A 1 liter bottle of FIJI Water contaminates 26 liters of water to stretch-blow mold the plastic, burns 1 kg fossil fuel to transport empty plastics from China and full bottles to the U.S., and produces 1 pound of greenhouse emissions</p>
<p>-wikipedia, but fiji water comes from some special spring in fiji so it's not tap, but there's ^^ that critique.</p>
<p>Actually, Sparkletts parent Co is DS Water of America which is based in GA but not affliliated with Coca Cola. Aquafina is bottled by Coca Cola, Dasani by Pepsi and Nestle bottles Calistoga, Arrowhead, Poland Springs (popular in NY, NJ) and Zephyrhills (popular in FL.) Nestle also bottles Acqua Panna and Pellegrino, both which were really popular in France and Italy in restaurants this summer, Perrier, Vittel and a couple others...</p>
<p>^^^i read today in wikipedia that sparkletts was coke, it may be wrong, do u happen to have a link ca2006?</p>
<p>either way it's just kinda sad, i heard on Democracy Now that they make like...1000% profit off bottled water, and it's from a tap lol...reminds me of pet rocks.</p>
<p>I couldn't find an affiliation with DS Water and Coca Cola... both are GA companies though... only thing about them I found in common. </p>
<p>Water profits are huge, but I live in San Diego and the tap water stinks. I will continue to buy bottled water because of it. Hopefully with all this investigation and media coverage the prices of bottles will come down. In the meantime, I bought a Brita for my dorm room this fall. :)</p>
