There is a magical place in Eindhoven where people meet, have a drink and have fun. No not the parking lots or the woods. This place is called Stratumseind and is located near city hall and at the end of the shopping district, you can’t miss it!
Stratumseind is nationally known as the party centre of Eindhoven and for all it’s pubs, cafes and discos packed up in one place. There are a verity of places where you can go to, you can even go club hopping without getting tired because all of the clubs are at a stone throw distance from each other. There are not only small places in Stratumseind but there are also the bigger clubs like Danssalon and Effenaar. But to be frank there are not located at the center of Stratumseind but more a 5 minute walk( sober) from it. Time will not be your main issue of concern I should be more worried about walking in a straight line to that place. Also near Stratumseind there is an Irish pub for those who want to taste(= Stout beer) that culture while visiting Eindhoven’s Stratumseind .
If this isn’t convincing enough for you to drop by Eindhoven to have some fun, this will surely make you swing by. On Thursday there is something called Studentenavond (= Studentnight) this is the place to be if you want cheap beer, easy sex and lots of drugs. Really I’m not making this up there was an article about it the local newspaper. Because this is an essay and not a scientific piece you go look it up.
By the way I’m not telling you nice folk to go out there and be the best drug addict you can be. I’m just pointing out the things that happen in the real world. So don’t get mad at me get mad at politicians or Canada.
So where you going to be this Thursday?

G.I. Who?!
A wile back I went with a couple of friends to the movies. One of my friends took his kid brother with him, so we choose to visit GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. When we were in line we were all exicted because this movie would be a trip down memorielane. Moste of us (if you 20+) still remember GI Joe as a cartoon and as a action figures. The hours have spend watching it on TV and enacting it far exceeds the time I spend on my…uhh homework. So after getting our tickets checked we all walked to our seats.
The movie is about two US soldiers who are ready to transport some weapons for NATO, while doing so they get hijacked by a group of weird looking supersoldiers and one of the soldiers ex-girlfriends. While this plays out on the screen I start laughing with my friends, because its clear to us that this is going to be an idiotic movie. The only one of us who was still seriously watching this movie was my friends kid brother. Anyway back to the movie. So wile the US troops get a ass whooping another secret faction swoops in to save the day. Its clear to us that these people are the good guys and amidst all the chaos its also clear to US troops that they are here to help, no blue on blue casualties in this movie. For those who don’t know the term blue on blue it a military term used for getting fired upon by your allies. So after the secret faction introduces her self as being GI Joe, weird actually because when I was a kid I specifically remember GI Joe being and individual with some friends and not an organization called GI Joe.
After introduction the soldiers are taken so there super secret hide with all kinds of exotic technology and if not exposing your hid out to a bunch of strangers isn’t worse enough they ask them to join . At this point I had a hard time focusing on what’s going in the realm of GI Joe. If this wasn’t punishment enough the director thought I would be cute if he would add couple of twists in the plot. And really why is it so that in almost every American action movie of this past 5 years the French always get screwed? It happened in this movie several times. The Eiffel Tower got bombed, the French streets got demolished and even a couple of bad jokes about the frogs, uhh I mean the French.
To make a story short this movie is by far the worst movie I saw in this decade. The acting is bad, some of the actors are not convincing and the story is flawed. Some mysteries in the movie just get solved in few seconds and a stolen plane if flown by using old Celtic words, thank god there is a GI Joe who speaks old Celtic. Really this movie is that bad. But the good side of this movie is well.... uhhh...uhmm... No sorry can’t think of any, this movie just isn’t for me.
Now after reading this movie review and you still think; what is this guy talking about? Then you would have the same feeling as I had during the whole movie.
