CHRISTIAN YOUTH HOSTEL

Amsterdam is always a wild town with interesting twists and turns.  Part of the Red Light District wraps around an old church.  They have a Christian youth hostel that is located right next door to a Thai massage parlor.  I accidentally walked in the wrong door.  Next thing I know, people are handing me a Bible and praying for my soul.

I was like, “ Wow!, this is pretty kinky.  When do we take off our clothes?” 

Suffice to say my stoned error was not met with kindness and I was quickly invited to leave.  I, of course, was met with open arms when I moved next door and flashed a roll of guildens.  It always helps to be in the right place at the right time.

Absent minded fool

can’t read sign above entrance

met with derision

a soul well beyond saving

I swiftly ventured next door
