Hey guys, I'm 22 and finishing my 4th year at a state school here in Oklahoma.

I have recently managed to allocate a fund of roughly $2000 (tax return, student loan leftovers, etc) that I would really like to spend on a vacation because school has sucked the lifeforce from me

Another one of my buddies (rich kid, money is no object for him) is wanting to go to Europe this summer, so I figured with our powers combined we could dominate some unsuspecting country

/trv/, my question for you is how I should spend this money. In the scope of vacationing, what's the best bang for my buck?

also, tips on housing, flights, etc would be awesome

Eastern Europe is generally cheap, but the Netherlands are much more awesome.

For housing check out hostelworld.com.

Where would you go in the Netherlands? Amsterdam seems obvious, but there's certainly other fun places I would imagine

Also, what about the language barrier- I've been to Germany (Bavaria) and generally everyone spoke English well enough to sell me things. Is Holland the same?

Depends, are you looking for booze and boobs? Or culture? Are you looking to go sight-seeing or get in touch with the people? Then we could help you better.

I suspect you will go for boobs and booze, if so, then any generic club in any big city will do fine. Say you are American and they will be all over you! Especially if you do booze first and then boobs.

Yeah, booze and boobs plz

Sightseeing might be fun, but I'm more interested in kicking off my shoes for about 2 weeks and abusing some Dutch broads

I'm just looking to have some fun, but I'm on a limited budget

Well, maybe you didn't know but prostitution is legal here in Europe. We've been around long enough to know that if you can't beat 'em, you join em. Amsterdam has a great redlight district, sure it might cost a little more, but they have brothels set up like stores! You can see what you will fuck before you pay. Very fancy. I don't know if that's your thing, but I'm sure it's cheaper than spending on all the booze to get some broad in a club drunk.

Now Amsterdam will have average weather and I don't know what there is a lot to sight-see around there, but if you want to relax you can always visit a coffee-shop or something or other and maybe even take a trip on the rivers.

Or just go to bed at 7am and wake up at 6pm to continue your orgy of booze and brothels. Whatever, go wild!

Consider I already have plane tickets, and my flights are covered. Consider I'm standing in Amsterdam looking at tulip garden.

now:
How much money per week would you say I need to get by relatively easy? I plan on staying in hostels, drinking cheap booze, and smoking herb daily. Avoiding touristy areas, restaurants, etc. I can cook what I buy in a grocery.

Estimate weekly cost for such a living? Please describe how you derived your estimate

I've been to Amsterdam, been to Germany, but if you want cheap and fun staying you should check out East Europe. Amsterdam is very expensive, Germany not so much, but less fun. In Eastern Europe you can find cheap booze, and easy broads...

With 2000 usd= 1280 euro you can have a neat stay. As I know in hostels its 25-40 euros per room, depending on date, beds, etc lets say its 30 euros per day. For food it depends on the country, but I think if youre careful 12-14 euros per day should suffice for three meals. And on a typical nights out you spend around 30-50 euros per person, depending on how much you drink. You can buy a bottle of spirits in a store for less than ten euros.
Getting by with english might be a bit of a sore spot, but a great deal of younger people speaks good English so you should be OK.

I dont know much about Amsterdam, but Eastern Europe is great choice, plus the girls are ultra hot

There are other nice cities in the Netherlands, but Amsterdam has the most sights and touristy things. The language thing.. well, Holland is not the same as Bavaria, English is more widely spoken I'd say. Some other stuff to see in Amsterdam is paintings (van Gogh, Rembrandt, Mondriaan, etc.), the Anne Frank house, the beautiful architecture, both old and new. There is lots of stuff to do and if you get bored you can take daytrips to other places.

OP here

I'm more interested in sticking to the Netherlands afterall

I hope $2000 is enough to give me a good time, and hopefully I'll get laid, obliterated, etc while remaining relatively safe

For anyone who has been to Amsterdam, tell me where to go and what to do
