Great story.

Funny to watch a guy's writing style change over the years. I guess he learned to use capitals sometimes in 2009 or 2010. In fact, to use them way too much

I kid, I kid.

Just out of curiosity (haven't read the entire thread) it seems like he had a ticket for a return flight on February 1st the entire time and the only problem was that he didn't have the money to survive until then. But if he had just told the embassy that he didn't have a place to stay, they would have sent him to a shelter until his flight date, which means that he wouldn't have needed work or donations to sustain himself anyway. So what exactly was this entire thread about and why didn't he just do that? I don't get the reasoning behind most of the decisions made here...

Why would you want to lie to your own embassy?
Stand up for what you believe in even if it means standing alone.

The best thread/story I have ever read on the internet. So glad you got back home User11! :D

On the side note, Strafe is probably the biggest douchebag I have ever seen, will never forget what cruel things he has said; my opinion on him will never change.

EPIC BUMP IS EPIC ! Thank you

Moral of the story?

Strafe is an asshole, and the TL community back then was pretty cool. And user11 had a fantastic time in Amsterdam. ^^ Thanks to the bumper, and to user ofc.

I've read every single page of this thread, awesome story. And just when I thought he had gone inactive after he went back home, he bumps the thread in 2008 and is still active in 2011! Really makes the story that much sweeter, you're awesome User11

nice story but it's sad and should act like a warning to everyone who's traveling. Make sure you have some extra resources to get out of shit like this when it happens. Always have travel insurance.

Fun read. One of the better parts of the thread was reading User's posts and then seeing someone suggest that he teach English. :D

I remember last year when i read this and this was also my question however he simply was in a rush he had an appointment and he just got a flat and they asked him you got a place to stay at? he said yep they told him sorry we cant do anymore then and he left and said ok now i must go work.
He was an honest man and i dont think he would of wanted to lie.

It might seem cruel to lie to an embassy but i would do it but nevertheless he got home and it was all good and TL is such a great place.

Great read, alot of clashing personalities duking it out in this thread .

Good point. Haha, too many bad things happening around and the fact we Asians don't remember locations of separate European countries but instead clump them together as a collective named Europe.

I kid of course. I just never bothered looking at the world map before posting.

he was living with a nice girl he met, but he had no money for food and stuff and he only had a visa to work in england, so he was stuck.
