Been to the RL yes, you cant avoid it if youre in Adam, not sampled no, if you see the girls there you know why :)

Lotsa man do no idea how many, we even have forums here where they discuss what club what girl etc

Clothes, hmm depends what age, but brands are pretty hot, smart stuff like Boss (Juicy wears that too) and basically anything thats hot in the US. Holland is Americanized. Very. If its a success in the states theyll start it here.

And it's not true that if something is a success in the states they'll start it here. It's actually the other way around believe it or not. With many products, they take Holland as an indicator for lots of huge countries around the world.

There were no stores like Mango over there when I was growing up. I guess things have changed. I do remember a store called Bijenkorp or something like that ... and H & M... I guess i have a real good memory... lol
