Amsterdam/Paris

I had magic mushrooms for the first time and completely freaked out of my mind. It may not have been the greatest of ideas as my hosts were due to meet a dutch friend that evening and got me to come too. He was pretty straight laced and was the receiving end of many praises about my mum; what he must have thought about me I dread to think.

My mind became an ocean. They said that the hallucintions make you somehow learn more about yourself. I felt paranoia; accutely. People around me shimmered like an illusion or waves of heat in sunlight. I had to keep touching myself to realise I was still here and not drifting off into some abyss. When people spoke; it was like I was several leagues below the sea. What I can say is that it has given me a lot to write about; inspired me somehow.

I am now in Paris; staying at Montmatre. I walked around the basilique sacre coeur; had a man from guinea bissau stop me to make a bracelet for me, drank a strong coffee and checked out the Salvador Dali museum. No idea what is happening tonight; hopefully something noteworthy! To be honest; I am a bit jaded about Paris - to me; it is like any other big city. Sure it has charm but certain things make it hugely overrated, like the fact everything is so pricey.
