WEEKEND ..Wasted time or not ?

It's Friday all over Europe !
Wonderful to know ofcourse, but if there is any country i would NOT like to spent my weekend right now..it's my OWN !!
I'm sorry, but it's true. And i really dont know WHAT toerists or any other foreigner likes about my country.

I mean take Amsterdam for instance, GREAT city, lots of stuff to do most of the time most of stores are open 24/7, you can party you can basically do anything and MORE in Amsterdam. But..there comes a moment that you DONT want to party, DONT want to spent your time at the red-light district, DONT want to go to a museum..you just want to "hang out". Dont get me wrong..you CAN do that in Amsterdam..but that's about it..ONLY IN AMSTERDAM !!

Can you imagine if 15.5 Million people went to Amsterdam every weekend to "hangout", just cuz they have nowhere else to go ???
There isnt really ANYTHING else. Me personally live in The Hague..and eventho The Hague is known for it's "international character" i havent seen ANYTHING of that in the weekend ! I think most of the internationals just go somewhere else for the weekend as long as it's NOT HOLLAND !

Does this sound negative ? No really it's not ! You dont even want to know, how many times i have tried to "have a good time" in my own country. Went to museums, partied till early morning, went sailing, went to soccer games, you name it i did it !
It took me 2 years to do EVERYTHING there is to do..and guess what ??? THERE ISNT ANY MORE !!

*sigh* ...maybe i should try more..maybe go to Alphen ???..then again WHAT THE F**K is Alphen ???

*sigh*...looks to me that i'm better off cleaning my house some more, sleep as long as i can..or go to the "Vogeltjesmarkt" in Antwerp !

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND !

Not sure, as happened before, I agree with George W., . . .

However, the rest I can't agree with either.

I don't think any other city or country offers very different things when you don't know what to do. Sure, mayor cities like Amterdam offer places and events to go out, although certainly not 24/7, smaller cities and even towns also offer things you can do.

But like you said, it's not that you can't do anything, it's that you don't enjoy anything. Just 'Hanging out', in my opinion, doesn't require anything except probably some Friends to do that with. . . Although hanging out in the south of France gives some extra because the perfect weather (and new environment), but still... all you need is some bottles of wine, maybe some food, good music and some Friends to hang out with . . .

So before u move to another country or city, visit the beautifull but so racist city of Antwerp or crack my HomeTown, which, in order to answer your public question, is a fast economic growing town originally founded by the Roman Empire (!!), maybe you should spent the next coming weekends to figure out what it is that you need to relax and where your Friends are to do that with .
