Last Tuesday a bunch if us went to Drag Bingo, which is basically what it sounds like. Two drag queens hosting bingo at a gay bar. It was quite entertaining, especially if you called a false, bingo because then you got to watch some poor soul get embarrassed in front of the whole crowd by the host. Both one of my friends and I called false bingos and had to endure the torture. He only had to do the chicken dance, but I had to dance to a Beyonce song with two gay guys. Very entertaining.
Last weekend Kelly's friend/roommate from school was visiting so we mainly did touristy things with her. We did go to the Melkweg, another of Amsterdam's more famous clubs. Definitely my favorite thus far.
This past week was our last week of Dutch class which finished with a final test on Thursday. In order to celebrate having Thursdays and Mondays free for the rest of the semester and St. Patricks Day, a bunch of us went on a not so well organized pub crawl Thursday night.
Friday night a few of us went to see "Enter the Void" at a funky local independent theater. The movie was extremely intense, edgy, disturbing, trippy and LONG. I would not recommend it for the faint of heart. It essentially chronicled a souls journey from death to reincarnation, but using groundbreaking filming techniques. The preview can't really do it justice:

This weekend is gorgeous and really feels like Spring has finally arrived. Hopefully it stays this way! Below are some additional random pics:
