23-08-2012 Shopping in Amsterdam!

Hello my dear readers!

Yesterday (23-08-2012) I went together with my mom to Amsterdam! I waited almost half a year for this day! Last year I went to Amsterdam too, and thought it is a pretty nice shopping place.

When we arrived, by train, we walked to a mangashop called "Henk". My mom bought two manga volumes for me: Kuroshitsuji VIII and Death Note 12. Then, we went into a Asian Supermarket, where we bought two bottles of Ramune.

Ramune.

My mom bought the one in the middle for me, and the one on the right for my sister. Darn, only if they had the Hello Kitty one! Than I would buy alot of that! *crying forever*

So, after buying Ramune, we went to the Dam. We ate and drank something. I knew there was a The Fame store in Amsterdam, near Madame Tussauds. When we walked into the street where it supposed to be, we came to the conclusion that the store wasn't at the same place anymore! I was really sad, because I got a Dir en Grey CD, in The Fame, last year. (The Fame is a music store by the way!) We asked someone in a fashion-store why The Fame was gone? He said The Fame moved to the Magna Place or something. In the end, we found it!

I ran to the Metal/Rock/Pop side, but no Dir en Grey, or any other Japanese band... I went to a salesmen (Who looked like a total-super-nerd!) to ask if they had any Japanese CD. And his answer surprised me: "Yeah, I don't know. If we have anything, it would be somewhere here, at the metal and punk side..." He waved with his hand when he said "If we have anything, it would be somewhere here".

I really was like: And this is "good" service?! But knowing myself, I would just thank the man for his help, and go look better in the CD-tray. Still didn't find any Japanese CD's, and was a kind of sad.

I just went looking at the DVD-side of the store, but I just wanted to know if they had it or not, because I still didn't know it.

After a while, my mom wanted to pay off her two CD's, but saw I was a kind of sad. We went together to another salesmen. This salesmen looked like he just came back from a heavy metal festival. He worked at the DVD-side, but wanted to search for me in his computer. He saw there where two Dir en Grey CD's in stock: Uroboros and Dum Spiro Spero. I already had Uroboros, so I wanted to buy Dum Spiro Spero. He said it was at the punk side, and walked with me to the CD-tray where it was supposed to be. I saw a note with Dir en Grey, but no CD in there. At least I was happy he helped so good! But then, I saw the Dum Spiro Spero CD at the wrong note. (The notes serve to indicate wich artists there are in the store, and the CD's of them, wich are in stock, are at the note. I'm sorry, I am very bad at expaining!)

I thanked the salesmen, and did pay off for the CD's we had. You should have seen my face when I found the CD!

 

My mom and I were like: you would expect perfect service from the total-super-nerd, but the rocker with stretched ears, piercings and tattoo's in his neck and on his arms, gave the perfect service... Never ever look at the outside of a person, and judge on that! It is the inside that counts!

 

But, back to our main topic!

We went to lots of other stores, and in total I bought: Ramune, the Dir en Grey CD, and 9 manga!

The manga's I got:

 

Kuroshitsuji VII

Kuroshitsuji VIII

Kuroshitsuji IX

Kuroshitsuji X

Death Note 12

Angel Sanctuary 11

And when we came home, we where tired! I slept really good~
