Although I've never been in Almelo I think but from what I've seen of Amsterdam I can only agree with you. Most likely I would also have no problem to get a nice Grolsch beer. Mind you I might have a bit of a problem understanding some of the local Low Saxon dialect spoken there. I caught the trans Siberian years ago and contacted a friend in Almelo to tell him I'll be in Europe some time and we should catch up. Little did I realise the trans Siberian actually went through Almelo on the way to London. So I wasted numerous drinks backtracking. And about 3 years ago he sent me a Facebook friend request. I remember thinking "how the hell aren't you dead?" He was the worst driver I've ever seen. Frankly I was stunned.

I mean, seeing a regular Ozzie bloke writing and clearly admitting he wasted numerous drinks. My world has shattered, my believe in Ozzies diminished. What's next one may wonder.

I prefer Almelo to Amsterdam. Just saying. My bad, thought you said Amarillo, what a effin shithole, stepped off the aircraft, was like something from a clint eastwood movie, tumbleweed blowing down the main drag, half expected lee van cleef to appear.
