Sell your body for a few days.
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long, there is time to kill today. Then one day you find 10 years have gone behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

Youll still be using your head rather than the rest of your body most of the time, so "shaking your ass a little bit" wont do you much.

if your friend will stay there for a little while, why don't you just print off some resume's and walk around in a merchant district applying for jobs? there must be someone around who speaks english and can at least point you in the direction of a job. the peeps in amsterdam are in a better position to help you than we are

Of course. Anyone travelling from Europe is welcome here

Seriously though, user11, I would help you if I could. I hope there are some Europeans on this board who will, but I wouldn't hold my breath on it. Did you actually go to the Canadian embassy? I doubt the embassy will simply let a Canadian starve to death in Europe.

If that doesn't work, go to Chibi's anyway and offer to cook for him and promise you'll leave the room whenever he needs to do his thing. Hopefully his Christian heart will melt at the sight of your puppy face and he will take you in.

get that girl your staying with to help you make a sign that says "Donations for soccer team, really needed" or something of the sort in Dutch. Then stand in the median and let cars see you, someone will donate something. Some friends i got here do that sometimes and they've gotten up to $200 off of ppl. If it works here in usa, it'll probably work over there. If you can think of a better sign then more power to you. O and don't forget a small bucket to collect the donations. Im pretty sure that'll work, you got nothing to lose right?

go to a library, get a translation book, and do it yourself. I agree its fucked up. Im sorry but desperate times call for desperate measures. Im sure you wouldn't do it under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be a reason. Trust me man, if you need money and you need it quick. Heed my advice.

Edit: Or just get it translated online. Stupid me =p

Maybe wear a big sign that sums up your situation in 1 or 2 sentence in their language of course such as "Canadian stuck in Amsterdam. Robbed = No money to go home." Might be able to get a few coins or some help. It is embarassing but so is your situation.

Consider your talents. You speak English. You can try teaching English for real cheap. Post signs at some school.

There are plenty of other ideas, but that one is the most simple I could think of.

Since you can't predict how long you'll be there, it would be safe to start learning the language.

your in amsterdam and need money? The question you need to ask yourself is what are you willing to do for a little cash. Cause chances are, people in amsterdam are willing to give you money for certain activities!

Have you tried to ask for a job at a macdonald or some other fast food?
They always seem to search for people. Since you don't speak dutch, you would not be able to sell the food but maybe they search someone to "cook".

I'm trying to figure out why we should help you, instead of some homeless people on the streets.

How on earth were you ever flying back to canada, were you carrying $3000 in cash to pay for your airplane ticket?

well altho i live in amsterdam, i've heard a lot of stories about foreign ppl not being able to work because of all the paperwork screw - ups etc.. so i guess legal work won't be an option!

you can steal bicycles from different places and sell them secretly to students for about 10 / 20 euro's each (depending on the quality!)
Just enjoy!

This is just a ploy to steal money from everyone. The kid's mom told him he couldn't buy that train set on ebay, so he comes on here to get money put into his dad's paypal account.

Seriously dude, use that money to feed the poor in Africa, instead of giving it to someone on teamliquid that's stuck in a modern 1st world country like the Netherlands.

As I implied in my other post, this might be a huge scam too.

Did you not have travel insurance? Then you would get compensation for the stuff that got robbed from you. Did you report the police?

It may or may not help, but you can describe your situation to the employer and that you need to make enough to earn 200-300$ to fly back to Canada. Bring as much proof as possible.

The best experience would be to stay there until you can use your flight ticket, but that would depend heavily on your survival skill in a foreign land.

erm im pretty certain the embassy can sponsor your trip home..
they SHOULD be willing to do that.

that being said just living with whoever wants you and being a factotum sounds like a bunch of fun and a great experience so you should just do that

and also having read more of the thread now ; I would definitely have let you stay in my house for a while but unfortunately I live in norway and not the netherlands.

Here is another idea, if not a bit more crazy...

contact your local newspaper in your hometown. Probably can find them on the internet. Hopefully they're write about your situation. Have your mom meet them to show proof.

...If that ever happens, please include me

you just need to get one of those UNICEF or Red Cross donation boxes and go door to door, my friends did this in middle school

dunno if wherever you are the people are good enough about donations

edit: oh also what they did that worked was first ask in "as a survey," something like "do you care about xxx organization or xxx cause?" and when they say yes THEN you ask for the donation. people don't like to be liars.

For those who're wondering, I traced his ip to Amsterdam actually.

I strongly advice you to go to every bar and other touristic places, it really doesn't matter that you don't speak Dutch. Especially in bars at the red light district it's near impossible to order something in Dutch!

Haha yea thats true , at least in norway they love to drink themself down to "zero" almost every friday/saturday. If you don´t have money just forget it since first you pay hell a lot for every drop of alc if you don´t like the cheap norwegian beer (what really sucks).
I guess norway is the most expensive country to get just a piece of fun.

That's very unsure. But if it works anywhere in Europe, it just can't fail in US.

Can I get your email?
She ask if you're Vietnamese? (maybe language barrier)

EDIT: nm. found your email.

Speaking from experience as someone whos backpacked through europe on a low budget, it shouldnt be hard at all to find a job in a place like amsterdam. Everyone that I talked to there spoke very good english, and there are jobs to be had at places like hostels, restaurants, bars and what not, especially if you explain your situation to them. You should be able to get at least a room/food by working at a hostel until you can find a real paying job. In fact, theres a christian hostel I stayed at in the red light district that you could try... l think it was called 'The Shelter'. Besides that, there are a couple very large hostels (couple hundred beds) located in amsterdam that im sure would hire you. Anyways, good luck, hope you get to canada safely.

well, it depends on how long you want to travel in europe. I backpacked through europe for about 3 months, and I only saved up like 2k before hand. If you research and plan ahead of time, you can find deals. For example, I found an airplane ticket from New York to Venice, Italy for $80. I bought a tent and sleeping bag so I can camp at random places to save money. I worked at hostels I stayed at to save money. Buy your food at supermarkets and bakerys to save money. You might have to save up for a couple months, but I personally think thats well worth the time and effort if you're serious about backpacking through europe.

hey im up..
since its off season and in europe , there are no hostal job. and the bar/resturant jobs are limited. however im still trying.
meat set me up with a job working for the site , 10hours of work. i can distribute it daily.

i worked in australia for 3months in the cotton fields. before i came to europe. i went to australia with 2000. lasted me 3months. then found a job on a cotton farm with other back packers. we worked 16-20 hr days / 7 days a week for about 11 weeks. i made 12k. which paid for alot of activities in australia and my flight / expensives to europe. in the end i had about 3500 for europe.

tame thats ok. its the thought that counts :D

some tricks.. pasta is ur new best friend. also rice. you find deals in the supermarket that no one else looks for . ie. chicken that expires the next day. = very very cheap. yet so good. lol. you never eat out. and usllay just buy ur own alcahol at the store. instead of buying from the bar.
more tricks for saving money

That's a trick? I did that whole my life. Although I go to a bar with friends from time to time (and quite often during winter) as the drinks there have very comparable prices to these in the shops.

yeah , im a pretty solid guy , not fat. maybe alittle bit of excess around the weight. but nothen out of the norm. iv talked to a few more guys from the netherlands that are willing to help me out. going to help me find some work.
im working right now for liquid`meat. but the directories im trying to list the site in. most of them u have to pay or . make ur regisiter. he tells me to stay away from those sites. every other site is one of those sites. + its hard to im usen the girls notebook that im living with
but im determined. even when i work the 10hours as required and IFi get below expectations theres no way i can let meat pay me full amount.

Are you all blind? Dont you see the connection? Australia is the saviour of the world.

Surely the police would help out a bit, can't you explain everything, and get them to try and talk to the airlines. The standby spots at airlines give ultra cheap flights, especially if you get the embassy to help out a bit!~ I had a friend who worked at an embassy and they hated doing anything unless they kept gettin gbugged everyday by people. (hint!)
My hope is one day stupid people will feel the same pain when they talk, as the pain the rest of us feel when we hear them. Twitter: @Legionnaire_au

ouch, really sorry to hear your situation dude... I would help but alas i have no cash, nor am I old enough to use pay pal; but I do send my best wishes; I hope you find a way back!

p.s I am really shocked by all the responses of our tl.net commun, to see us help someone we don't even know just because we're connected by well starcraft... i think it's amazing; it just goes to show how a game can connect people on so many different levels

Majority of the transaction on eBay is done with Paypal.

It should be safe enough as long as you don't have any malicious virus on your PC.

You enter the email account of the paypal user you want to donate to and enter how much to send. That's basically it.

My credit card expired so I don't I can use paypal until I update it with a new credit card.

O man! I know this is a terrible thing but what a thing it is! I live by the philosophy "Your life is for the story time for your grandkids" and what a story you have! Now I'm jealous of you...
Good luck finding work, hope you got work at outback steak house, it's pretty nice, they eat Kangaroos(jk)
Gl again.
Also a suggestion: Write a diary, write down what you did each day and keep it, it'll be a great memory.
I happy, thus I run.

hey if i backpack through europe for 3 month with 3000$CAD would the trip be possible? and what should i prepare?


I don't know what the currency rates for CAD are for USD, and also what the exchange rate is against the euro. I planned my trip like this: I had about 2.5k USD after I bought my eurail pass, airplane tickets, backpack/tent/sleeping bag, guide book, etc. I figured if I spent under $50 a day (and you can get by with much less), that would last me about 2 months.

I went to europe for 3 months, and limited myself on the cash I brought with me on purpose, so I would end up working and having a much more 'real' experience. Although it was a lot of fun for me, for some people, that won't do. If you plan to do a lot of typical touristy things like go to all the museums, monuments, and eat out a lot, you will spend up to 75-100++ a day easily. The closer you go into a major city, the more expensive things becomes. Even public transportation adds up after a while.

As for preparation, there are tons of things to do, but ill list a couple things off the top of my head. Plan your trip very well ahead of time, with a general route in mind, and make sure your eurail pass covers all the countries. Depending on where you're going, you will want to buy a guide book/language books (If you plan to visit only the major cities like I did, if you speak English you wont have much trouble communicating, but if you plan to go to random small towns and villages, you better be prepared). I would want to avoid the peak tourist season, which is spring - summer if possible, and maybe go early spring or fall. Rates for hostels are much cheaper then.

Equipment wise, it depends on what you want to do, and when you plan to go. I bought a small 2 person tent and a sleeping bag, so I could save even more money by staying at camping grounds (cheaper than hostels), or even camping out in random fields. I had a poncho/raincoat just in case, and couple changes of clothes, guide book (Lonely Planet - very good imo), toiletries (very expensive to buy in big cities as I found out), water bottle (if you plan to go off the beaten track, then you might want to buy a filter/iodine tablets, etc), a huge ass backpack, extra pair of sneakers (didnt think i'd use them, but came in handy when it rained).

Im probably forgetting a ton of things, but those are what come to mind right now. PM me if you have any other questions.

talking about me? I had plenty, haha. Too many to list them all, but... here are some:

- someone tried to mug me at knife point in a deserted street in Amsterdam, and as I was running away, I thought I was trapped, so I jumped into the canal and got all wet for no reason.

- missed the train, and ended up sleeping overnight at a train station. Funny thing was, there were a lot of shady people around at that time, so me and this African guy I ran into who lives in Italy (professional marathon runner whos sponsored by his town) took turns sleeping, while the other guy kept a lookout.

- got on the wrong train by accident, then somehow started a fight between some nice italian people (who were defending me) and the conductor who was trying to extort money from me. They threw me off the train on the next stop in the middle of nowhere. t_t lol

- I pitched my tent one night on a slightly sloped ground, and when it started raining, the pegs got loose, and I ended up rolling down the entire campground.

- got robbed couple times in hostels, but thank god I didnt lose my money/passport/rail tickets. I lost all my toiletries, some clothes, watch, swiss army knife, flashlight. t_t

but, even with these difficulties, I had a blast :p, in fact, it only added to the experience ^^

I'm probably going to be able to get you some money after the 15th (when I get paid), because the money I have now is going towards a trip to Barcelona, Christmas presents, and my best friend who's arriving from California on Tuesday. And I'm getting a big paycheck the 15th because of back-pay. A pretty nice bonus!

Since we're on the subject, isn't WCG going to be held next year in Italy or something? This is a pre-invite to anyone who'd like to hang out here (in Sicily) a week or something then travel with me up to mainland to WCG(?) I don't know who can go or whatnot, but I'd like to go since I'll be in the area. I've never been to that kind of event before. Anyone provide any info about it?

I know its none of my business, but how is your family poor? I understand without a father, the family income is significantly less, but what about your mother?

when my dad died , he left us about 20grand in debt. my mom was a nurse in the radiology department. she was actually head of the department. then she got tendanitus in her wrists. which created some nerve damage. which made her unable to work. the hospital pays her long term disability but its nothing then what she use to make

not that it's important but I have 3 final research papers due.. tomorrow, wednesday, and thursday. and I have almost nothing done on any of them except for 1.

and yet, spending the last 20 minutes or so reading this entire thread seems like a good use of my time. I'm serious, this was very entertaining and somehow even inspiring.

well after you realize meat gassed you and took all your shit, he then tells you that he's your father, cuts off your hand, and you immediately overact and as a result fade into bolivia

hey user11i just got a link to this site. im not a big sc player. but got in to war3. Took me about 15 mins to read all this. Truly inspiration guys. This is just great. A Sc community helping out a fello gamer. Last year I traveled through europe. At some points I thought I had it rough. But after reading this. It doesn’t even compare. Im glad ur making the best of it. And like liquid`drone said. “it’s a good story to tell your grandkids” at the moment , im in great financial situation. Which means I can contribute. Hope you get home safe

Sent 10euros via PayPal and ill see what i can do next payday

I want to know what really happened before I give any money. What in god's name do you mean by saying you were gassed? Do you mean you were doing drugs and lost consciousness?

And what about the police. Did you report the crime? If so, they should be able to (assuming you're not exagerating) tell you what kind of gas they used. I think it might be the made-up-gas because why would somebody take the trouble to gas you when they can rob you by gunpoint? It would take a shitload of work.

I want you to take some pics of you in amsterdamn. Post the dated version.

I just don't buy the store. You may well be in amsterdamn (you're not neccesarily just good at messing with ip's) but I also think you probably weren't robbed, and are just giving us a sob story so you can you mooch some money.

Wow. I wish this thread will never die. This probably has to be the only 20 paged topic I've ever read except for "How's Your Taste". I wish there was somehting I could do, but I'm only 15. My birthday is coming around so I could probably send about $10 or something.

Jeez. En par mit SA.

This is definitely the fucking best thread on TL.net I've ever read in its entirety... can't believe I fucking missed when this thread started or you can be sure my name would be pasted all over these 20 pages. Hows Your Taste is now 2nd, rofl.

User11, I've added you to MSN... do you have a blog where you are posting what you do everyday + statistics on how much cash you have + who has donated and how much to you? Pictures, etc.? If you had one - this would definitely make me want to donate to your paypal.

I, being the selfish little snob I am want to know that I am really helping someone in need, although I buy your story - you seem like a good, honest guy who just had a round of bad luck - I realliy do want some "entertainment" (although what is happening to you is FAR from entertainment, it's downright horrible and nobody should ever have to go through it) for myself - and by that I mean updates on how you are doing, what you are doing with your time, things that are happening over there with you, etc...

I'm just so curious and interested in your struggle.

Btw: I remember reading about someone setting up a blog/diary for him to update somewhere, but I can't remember which page it was on. Anyone confirm/deny that it's up?

edit: nm found the blog on page 13
http://helpuser11.blogspot.com/2005/12/story_05.html

But only one entry. Why isn't he updating? Seems like he has enough access and time on computer... What else does he do for 24 hours to occupy his time?

Sorry for posting 3 times in a row TT

I didn't see anyone asking these questions, if they have been asked, please humour me with the answer

Why doesn't his mother send him more than $50 CAD? I mean, I could send him that much. I understand that they are not well off, but doesn't your mom want you to get back home? But I don't know how conditions are with your mom's financial situation.

How did you even get to live at this girl's place? Is she a complete stranger? Did you ask random strangers if you could stay at their house? Did you exchange any services or promises to pay? This seems totally weird and inconceivable to me; can you explain?.

How did you at one point have incredible luxuries like an iPod nano/ digital camera but still have so little cash? I mean, an iPod and a digital camera would require constant access to your personal computer + internet access. I understand that you worked so you had income that way, but still... I would have thought you would've been more conservative and long-term related.

Also - please daily update your blog! Tell us what you do, what you eat, where you go, what you feel, how you're doing...

I want you to take some pics of you in amsterdamn. Post the dated version.

I just don't buy the store. You may well be in amsterdamn (you're not neccesarily just good at messing with ip's) but I also think you probably weren't robbed, and are just giving us a sob story so you can you mooch some money.





umm.... ur probably one or the thousands that dont believe my story. and what can i say. if i was reading it for the first time it would probably be skeptic.
let me answer some of your questions...
there was 4 of us in the room. we all new each other from london. we met there and lived in the same hostal for about 3 weeks. we oraganized to meet in prague. we did. we went to sleep. woke up with a erie smell in the air. noticed all my shit was gone. woke everyone up. "how do we know we were gased" i usally wake up to the smallest noise. my small carry on back pack with all my valuables was on the desk beside my head. they managed to go threw it . emptying it. as the same to my big back pack. we reported to the police. and they werent really much help. here fill this out. ok heres your police report. sorry good luck. thats what we got from them. no advice . no investigation of the hostal no nothing.

as for pictures , i dont really have a camera lol. but i do a few pictures that i sent to my mother a month to go when i went to stone hedge.

i plan on meeting up with liquid`meatand possibly nazgul and razski ( lives with him ) in the new future and Passion from TL.net on monday . which is tomorrow :D . im sure passion will bring his camera.
is there anything else i can do for you to "prove" my situaton or where i am

hey . i met the girl when i was traveleling around australia in january. we stayed at the same hostal. we were pretty "close" it was to bad we had to go our seperate ways. i told her i would see her again. before i went to prague to meet up with some friends , i met up with her at her house. only for the nite" then after prague i gave her a call. she said i could stay as long as i want at her place till i get things figured out. shes helping me alot. i help out around the house. clean , dishes " i cook for her when ever she asks.. she loves my cooking "i was a cook back in "canada"

as for the ipod and camera. that i worked so hard to get are a must when traveleing. not nessarly an ipod. but an mp3 player and a camera. i loaded my ipod with music before i left and my camera i had to visit net cafes and emtpy them on cds. i had about 3 cds full of pictures also stolen in prague. i was exactly short on money. i admit the way of carrying around almost 1500 euros is stupid. but was well hidden and unexcessible to everyone "so i thought"
my dad died about 5 years ago.. left us with bills. my mom lives off monthly checks from the goverment "long term disability" she hurt her hands at her work. she was a head of a radiology department. i have 3 sisters. theres not enough money to go around. As for my Blog . they guy who created my site for me hasnt been on msn. and i have no idea how do post on it or update it.. up till last week i never new what a blog was ><
i hope this answers all your questions and others
thanks

hey artofmagic why don't you post some instructions on how he can edit the blog?
I think that if you give him the site, the login information, simply how to add + publish an entry it will be much easier so he can do it himself.

It can't be that hard and blogging is very easy self-explanatory.

Sure.

What did the police report say. Usually they sort (maybe it's not called a police report, but you definitely can get a hold of it) of give their opinions on what happened. You know like: Suspect claims they were gassed but there was no evidence of this.

Just explain how you knew you were gassed. Was there a grenade sitting in the room. How the hell did they get the gas just into YOUR apartment. Other people living there would notice the smell. Unless they're fucking super agents who gas a precise room. I repeat: How did they do it? Vents? What? It just doesn't make ANY sense.

Do people often get gassed in prague? I've never heard of it. If they don't, then you saying I think I was gassed would get the police interested.

I say your story is BULLSHIT. And am guessing that you're whoring for money on tl.net to have a nice trip in amsterdam. Just doesn't add up for me.

For instance:WHY THE FUCK DID THEY RIFLE THROUGH YOUR BACKPACK WHEN THEY COULD'VE JUST TAKEN THE WHOLE THING THEY'RE FUCKING JAMES BOND WITH GAS AND YET THEY SPEND UNNECESARY TIME AT THE CRIME SCENE.

And I could well be wrong. You could post some indisputable evidence right after this. Just remember, next time you've been robbed in another country, and want to ask for some money from a forum, post that shit first, so you don't have to deal with guys like me who'll bust your balls.

ok..
hmm...
eerie smell in room = might be gas. we didnt wake up. = most likely gased.
we got a police report done. czech cops are corrupt. they didnt care. didnt even ask where it happened. we had to bring it up.

still a mistery of how they got in to our room. door was locked. windows locked. no sign of break and entering. but got the gas, usally they pump it under neath the door. was only 4 of us to this apartment on top of the hostal. so no one else could of noticed the smell

4 back packs 4 carryon backpacks. cameras mp3 players = ALOT of stuff to carry out of a hostal with out getting noticed.

why would i be working for meat , slaving away on the computer filling out directories for 10hours. you know how boring that stuff is? but i have to. and putting chickens in cages?
im not asking you to believe you story . and you are intiteld to your opinion. but if ur going to ask all the questions read the whole thread. because i believe all the questions you have asked have been asked already.

you still leaving out. why didnt they take ur passport / train pass .
cuz i threw them under my bed before i went sleep.
also leaving out . are you sure it wasnt of my 3 friends. yes cuz they got robbed to and we checked each others bags . to get the thought out of everyones head.

umm what else.. i think of more questions that have been answered that u will later ask. i will gladly ask.

oh.. great time in amsterdam? i havent been downtown amsterdam since i got robbed. im in a outer suburb called zaandam. ask people in netherlands what a shit hole it is..

I say your story is BULLSHIT. And am guessing that you're whoring for money on tl.net to have a nice trip in amsterdam. Just doesn't add up for me.


Messing around with chicken shit and picking cotton is far from an ideal vacation.

I would never ever ever ever do that unless I was utterly desperate for money like User11.

=/ 'tricks'?. Its called getting a job


some tricks.. pasta is ur new best friend. also rice. you find deals in the supermarket that no one else looks for . ie. chicken that expires the next day. = very very cheap. yet so good. lol. you never eat out. and usllay just buy ur own alcahol at the store. instead of buying from the bar.
more tricks for saving money


Haha. Tricks I use, also. Ramen noodles, sardines, frozen dinners on sale. Stay away from potato chips and pop. Use salt and pepper from McDonalds'.......

I wish you good luck, sorry but I don't have money to donate.

My friends were talking about just going to Europe with a backpack and just work and travel...soaking up the country. They thought it would be a great "vacation".

Even though you are in a bad situation...it sounds like you are getting a very wide range of experiences...

Looks like you got the "vacation" they wanted.

damn i read nearly every page , feel so sorry for your situation man.
If i had some extra cash id try using that pay pal and help u out but im currently struggling myself.
That aussie bar should of helped you us aussies usually give anyone a go.

good luck ! keep trying around for those jobs. Even try supermarkets as a bag packer, or food stacker or some shit.


GET BUCKET/CLOTH/MOP from this chick and clean car windscreens out on the street, some might give you $1-2. Also try busking for a few $, no matter how bad u sing or dance.

haha , great ideas.. how ever i dont think i can degrade my self to that level just yet.. supermarkets here dont have bagpackers. you have to bring ur own bags. and that requires a visa lol.everywhere i go u got a visa? u got a visa..
fuck the visa.. give me a job;)

'Album of the day' and 'Post what you are listening at' threads must be the worst & most annoying threads in tl history.. can't belive they lasted so long!

this thread was a very fun & interesting read. it's almost like i could read it all again :D

Brilliant, brilliant thread. Actually touching and somehow very fun to read. Quite possibly the best ever TL thread, though maybe not quite as helpful as bigball's advise on Protoss strategy

Maybe when my travels in Europe go wrong (starting in late april after warming up with some other travelling), I can contribute something like this, though hopefully not asking for money.
Armed only with my average looks, £500 and the ability to play + sing an hour-long set on my 3/4 size acoustic guitar, I hope to have an epic journey. Though I struggle to see how it can turn out as fascinating as user11's.
It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

an update :

i went out with a guy i met on tl.net his name is Jelmer. he bought me some beers and a huge burger. then bought some food out of a wall. FEBO.. lol north american should really get this. put 1 euro in . get hot food out.
later this week I PLAN on meeting up with passion. but are schedules conflict. even though i dont really have one.

latley iv been getting a few pms. saying "inspiring thread good luck man " and your a legend in my books "

would just like to say thanks guys . i didnt know my story could have such an impact. even though im leaving out tons of details.
maybe i should write a book when i get back home a short story novel or something hehe.

tomorrow im going to church with the girl im stayen with. im not usally a church goer. but i use to when i was younger and thought id give a dutch church a chance hehe. they have translation headphones.
after that i plan on going to see some old school wind mills. then going to harass british airways again. they called me today and asked if jan 15th was acceptable. i said no and annoyed them some more. im 100% sure i an get a flight some time this week. before or after x-mas . hopefully before

another funny detail i can add to my journy , this morning i was washing my england soccer jersey i bought for 8 pound at lilly whites in the UK on the back of it . theres black felt writing saying DIE UK. smell letters. lol i dont recall that happening. iv wore that shirt out in alot of countries. maybe got 2 drunk one night. hmm .. i just thought that was funny hehe. even though my jersey is ruined. or maybe bleech

i live in amsterdam, but please just get ur money from begging etc.. talk to other tourists.. there are always tourists in amsterdam! or else maybe just go to schiphol and start asking there until you can gat to canada

this advice just because you mentioned you were almost there to get your flight changed .. maybe you're getting a bit too comfy in posting alot and getting some dollar donations.. just swallow your pride, go and ask / beg / talk your way to your last bucks and get the hell back to canada

fly away

fly away like an agile bird

be proud

etc =/
Just enjoy!

Dude you are a dumbass. I felt sorry for you at first but now I realize you think this is a big joke and you can freeload off people forever. Truth is, you probably will leech off people for a year or two making excuses not to do jobs because you are too pretty and smart or w/e.


It's your fault for where you got yourself. BTW, why can't you just go to immigration or w/e and tell them your story, I'm sure they will send your hippy freeloadin ass back to wherever you came from for free.

I am 6'0 in real life, that makes me 60 feet "on the internet" I guess. Don't make me mad, I will stomp you with my foot.

And I don't think I'm spoiled because I was born into poverty, and everything I have I have earned(my mother didnt even have a car until a few years ago when she was given an old beater handmedown).

Furthermore, you need to stop making excuses for your misfortunes and failures. You come on an online forum(and you have less than 300 posts, most of which are in this thread), begging for someone to take care of you because you are a fool. You should always have a backup. Keep your money in a bank. Find resources that can help you avoid being ripped off in foreign countries. Be proactive, plan ahead. Someone "pumping gas" into your room is not a good enough excuse. You should expect shit like this. Europeans scam artists/thieves prey on idiots like you.

Lol user11. Something tells me you are not even stranded in Amsterdam. First I felt sorry for you and wanted to help you. But seeing you here begging and continue to beg gets me pretty angry. "I have too much pride to do a decent hard working job such as cleaning, but I have no trouble whatsoever to resort to begging at people I don't even know"

Seriously if you are not ready to work while its offered to you I hope you freeze to death on the streets, fucking beggar, I'll save my money for people who actually need it and do something for it. Like making crappy music all day long on the street<3

I'm not joking I really wish you bad things. Oh and really, learn english. You are from fucking Canada for god sakes

I'm not the charitable type, and seeing your replies, I really REALLY agree with Strafe. If you're too good to work when offered and say you're too good for it, then you really aren't in trouble but just had this idea to get money from those who really think you are. I haven't gone through the whole thread but I've definitely seen enough...

As for your "my whole opinion of you just changed. im sorry if i cant bring my self to clean some ones house and get pointed and laughed at for 20 euros not even..". I'm coming there to Netherlands to mug you soon. Seriously, you're here BEGGING for money instead of doing a REAL job when being offered to you. And laughed at? We'd be drowning in shit if it wasn't for cleaners and janitors and such.

And if you lost the $50 at Party? You're apparently stupid as well.. ^^

Merry fucking Christmas!

ps. I didn't read where you have the access to TL.net either, but I'm assuming it's a public comp - otherwise you could've sold yours, right? You can always go sell your ass, I hear it's legal in Amsterdam.

why cuz i wont clean some ones house and drink beer and get stoned? offered what 8 euros/ hour . judgeing the sizes of houses in holland would probasbly take me less then an hour so its not even 16 euros.

NOTE : no working visa for netherlands , europe OFF season , dont speak word of dutch.

if you can get me a working visa and pay for it .. and make some one hire me at a place where i dont have to speak dutch. AND make the off season go away and make the tourest flood in.

Lemme ask you, do you seriously think that you can make money by drinking beer and getting stoned? As for cleaning a house, it just sounds like you don't want to get back home enough, since people here are giving you donations and it's a lot easier than doing a good honorable job. You're probably some silly old junkie who ran out of money and now you're looking for creative ways to get your fix.

You should take any job that's being offered to you and not be picky, you're in trouble aren't you? Oh wait!

God damn. I hate you.

Oh my god, copy paste, that's hard work! And why aren't you working on that chicken farm anymore? And that copy paste work took ten hours ? JESUS CHRIST, that's TWO more hours than normal people work PER DAY.

That's because he obviously doesn't deserve it. He's too good to take any job he's been offered, but he's accepting donations.

Hell, I want donations too since I'm too lazy to take a job.

why didnt you go to youre embassy?
why didnt you get travel insurance?
honestly, what are you?
the worlds shittiest traveller?
i rented a car with some friends this summer and we got in a terrible car accident (we honestly could all have died but thx to seatbelts and our car stopping like an inch from a canyon, only thing we had was a sprained shoulder and a cut above someones eye), luckily it wasnt our fault, but our car was completely total-loss (it was like 1 meter shorter after the accident), insurance immediattely offered us TGV tickets home and a hotel to stay in for a few days, all on their costs, we just stayed in the hotel for a few days, exchanged the tickets for a new rental car and continued travelling. this is what normally happens when you get in trouble during a vacation, but honestly, you seem so completely ignorant and unprepared.

if you had informed yourself, you would know that tourists constantly get ripped off in eastern european countries, so you wouldnt keep all youre money with you, you would keep it on a BANK ACCOUNT (get traveller cheques).

when im on a vacation, and we go visit something, we just take our valuables with us, or when we go out at night with public transportation, we just go to the reception of the camp place/hotel where we are staying and ask whether they could hold on to them for us.
and really, we didnt even get extra insurance for the vacation where are car was total-loss, it was all included in our normal all-purpose insurance, i dont know how dumb you have to be to go on a trip that you know is going to last a few months and then not getting extra insurance.
you deserve to be stuck in the netherlands.

honestly, seeing at the way you planned youre trip, i am not surprised you got robbed AND i am not surprised youre still not home. youre stuck without money and the first thing you can think of doing, is asking an online forum for help?
thats youre best idea?
really, just go to the canadian embassy and you'll be home in no time.

oh, and if you had informed yourself beforehand, you'd know that tourists constantly get robbed in eastern european countries, and you would have prepared yourself for this.

why? i wont copypaste what i said back on page 3-4 i think.
ill say it Fresh for you..
they wouldnt allow me a bank account in the UK "where i flew into" because i had no job or income. WHy i took all the money out of my canadian acct? cost 3$ each transaction. i thought it would be alot easyer if i put my money in a money belt at the bottom of my backpack. only use a certain amount each day.
i wasnt in a hostal. i was in an apartment above a hostal which it owned with 3 of my friends

is cleaning really that bad? i think it sucks people send you money because you're 'completely helpless' while you have other options to get money too. and i do agree with strafe, for being canadian and having english as your first language, it's horrible.

cleaning naz/meat/raszi's house would probably be cool work.. you really think they'll point and laugh at you? they're just superlazy and don't wanna clean themselves. they'll give you some company while you clean.. they even offered you beer+weed while cleaning. what's wrong with that?

imo asking everyone for money makes you a huge loser, while if you'd work your ass off wherever you can it'd would give you respect and people would probably send you more money to help out. and i laugh 20 times harder at someone who's doing w/e shitjob on a farm than someone who cleans houses. everyone has to clean their own house anyways, nothing bad at that.

anyways hope you get your money and get the fuck out of our country!
lawl nah not like that. hope you can back home before xmas and stuff but i think it'd be good if you'd change your attitude a bit. gl!

actually PFff is a lot brighter than you are User. Keeping your money and all your stuff on you while sleeping in hostels. HAHAHAHAH idiot. Nobody travels without having money on their bank so if they ever get in trouble they still can get home?


why? i wont copypaste what i said back on page 3-4 i think.
ill say it Fresh for you..
they wouldnt allow me a bank account in the UK "where i flew into" because i had no job or income. WHy i took all the money out of my canadian acct? cost 3$ each transaction. i thought it would be alot easyer if i put my money in a money belt at the bottom of my backpack. only use a certain amount each day.
i wasnt in a hostal. i was in an apartment above a hostal which it owned with 3 of my friends

umm, traveller cheques?
traveller bank account?
...
my question is, why is it possible for me to go to canada and use a bank account, but its not possible for you to go to europe and use a bank account?


did you visit youre embassy at all?
honestly, thats the first thing you need to do, and im 90% sure they will send you home immediattely.

did you get any travel insurance?
really, its so important.

i just find it funny how unprepared you can be, and that the best thing you could think of for getting home was posting here.

oh, and how come you dont have youre airplane tickets anymore?
how were you planning to get home in the first place?

Wow that job must have been hard man........you actually sound stressed like it degraded you somehow. Like you were a slave or something working for sir meat on a cotton farm. Meat did you a favour but I can see that you lack tact....you even bitch about it.. Oh my, copy/pasting.....help is wasted on this guy.

was a boring job.. lol
money is money though.
didnt get travellers check why? never got around to it... insurance? costs money.. didnt think id get robbed or lose anything. why? i didnt in australia.
u ever worked on a cotton farm? i have? it does stress you out
ffs.. the embassy wont do shit to help me
iv posted a phone number u can talk to the girl i went threw at the embassy.
and for fucks sake if you would just read the thread you would understand. the forum was a plan C ... was 3am and tired. i thought i would get flamed and i was supported. and why is it possible for you to get a bank acct in canada. DIFFERENT RULES. why is it that i can go to usa and smoke weed on the streets and get arrested and not in amseterdam?

User11 did you go to naz,raszi and meat's house ? If you went there and they laughed at you while you were cleaning i agree with you that the job would be degrading, but if you just assume that they will laugh at you and abuse you in dutch if you go and clean they're house you really are a moron and don't deserve the help you get. Im sorry for calling you a moron if you went there and they actualy did this.

is cleaning really that bad? i think it sucks people send you money because you're 'completely helpless' while you have other options to get money too. and i do agree with strafe, for being canadian and having english as your first language, it's horrible.

cleaning naz/meat/raszi's house would probably be cool work.. you really think they'll point and laugh at you? they're just superlazy and don't wanna clean themselves. they'll give you some company while you clean.. they even offered you beer+weed while cleaning. what's wrong with that?

imo asking everyone for money makes you a huge loser, while if you'd work your ass off wherever you can it'd would give you respect and people would probably send you more money to help out. and i laugh 20 times harder at someone who's doing w/e shitjob on a farm than someone who cleans houses. everyone has to clean their own house anyways, nothing bad at that.

anyways hope you get your money and get the fuck out of our country!
lawl nah not like that. hope you can back home before xmas and stuff but i think it'd be good if you'd change your attitude a bit. gl!


The point is the guy is a big douche. He actually thinks naz/raszi cannot afford to get their house cleaned so they are gonna abuse him and pay him 1$/hour of cleaning shit off walls. He just does not see they are doing him a huge favour/trying to help him.

I feel sorry for everyone that donated money to this guy.

you never got to getting travellers cheques?
it takes like 2 hours, just step into youre bank.

insurance costs money?
yes it does, but you should ALWAYS get it when travelling.

embassy didnt help you?
this i dont understand, its youre right to get send back home when youre stuck abroad.

even just using atms with youre canadian account was a much better plan then bringing it all cash, you had what?
$ 1500?
if you split it up in like 10 transactions, you'll only waste $30 but youre money will be safe.

honestly, there is no way i can get myself to feeling sorry for you, just because you are most likely the shittiest most unprepared traveller ever, and you DESERVE to be in youre situation.

Haha, I wouldn't go as far that he deserves all this, but I think it's wrong to help him out. Other people need your money more. Give it to them instead of this guy. That's all I wanted to say;)

Unlikely. Since I only work thursday and friday. Besides I dont make 5000$ per night, nor per week;(

And it has nothing to do with the fact that other people are more deserving;)

It disturbs me how people can find themselves to reply shit like that, referring to assholes in the last 4 pages. Tell me, how the fuck can you post that? You just genuinely appreciate yourselves for being assholes on the web?

If you don't like the thread, don't fucking read it. Theres no need at all to post your "narcisstic" opinions on the matter as it does no good.

Don't you have any relatives or friends in Canada? Why can't your mother just ask them for help? Your mother's able to buy food and live under a roof, but the only thing she can send you is 50 Euro? Even if she does have debts, she can support herself (and usually you as well), so shouldn't she be able to send you more than that? If the embassy says they can't do anything as long as you have food and shelter, just get your friend to kick you out of the house and then go again? It's also quite weird how you seem reluctant to meet Passion or Naz/Raszi/Meat, seriously, if you've really been putting chickens into cages for 2 days, a cleaning job where you get beer/weed has to sound like paradise, no? The only people you apparently met up with from tl are people I've never heard before and I don't think they've posted in this thread either.
I'm not saying I don't believe you, but there are a couple of weird circumstances and I'd like you to clear them up plz

I've read the whole thread -_- Don't remember him saying anything about his friends/other relatives. He's explained about his Dad dying and his mother not being able to earn as much as she used to because of her hands and that they have a lot of debts. Sure, but still, she should be able to send him more than 50 euro, she can also buy food for herself and her son and pay the rent...
Hasn't said anything about pretending to get kicked out of the house so the Embassy has to get him home.
He's explained why he didn't want to clean and why he didn't meat up with Passion, but I thought they were weak excuses. iirc it was "i didn't feel like it" for not meeting Passion, wtf?

Yes, you've really said that about 5000 times now but couldn't you just tell them you don't have shelter anymore because the girl has to kick you out?

Why would they do that? It's much cheaper for them to just send you home than keep you for a month.

Meeting up with Passion is probably not very important is it? Nazgul Raszi Meat can assure you the story is true, and if you don't believe in them then it's impossible to make you believe the story.

I never said I didn't believe the story, I just thought and still think some points of it are a bit obscure. It would help if you stopped answering only to a fraction of my post and gave answer for everything, especially why he doesn't have friends or relatives that can support him.

how did you ever manage to get a plane ticket to australia and enough money to get food,... until youre cotton job started kicking in?
one plane ticket has to be what youre family and friends combinded make in like a year or smth?
i mean, if they dont even have the money to all pitch in like 50 dollars to get you home

oh, and really, i dont doubt that youre stuck in the netherlands, i just find youre situation so weird that you just have to be lying about something.

will u stop flaming?


Take it easy, I'm with you... Now I am a highschool student and I don't have any credit card, but you know, man, I'm with you.

Don't get offended about Strafe or other guys, they are just some guys who are a bit depressed and need some love(which I pity that they are not able to show any in peticular...), we get good people in the Internet, and bad, you can't always hope the best of TL.net, TL like real life, has many good people but it is also filled with clever yet pathatic and cruel people that suck up to the admins(so they wont ban them, obviously). Ignore them.

How ever, I do wish you to take every possible job opportunities you have and do them regardless of what they offer. House cleaning is not that bad, people have took much much harsher jobs than all the ones you've been offered(not that I'm in a position to discuss which job is harsh but still, I know ppl who will clean toilet everyday for 50 cents in china).

I also demand(can I demand? haha...) you to be home at christmas so it will be a nice story through out. "I worked so hard so I can be home at christmas" sounded a way better story than "I worked but failed to be home at christmas"

One last thought, you do not need to sound angry with the people who are flaming you. I once was angry with the ppl that were flaming at me and flamed back, and guess what, I got banned :p But I grow out of it so yeah... no worries. Keep your composure, be noble man. Why zorro with out any money in his pocket manage to get himself into the nobleman's house and gather information? He's got the composure of a nobleman. You must be high in spirit status, even if you are cleaning houses and picking up shits like a servant, you can still be noble, and ppl will like you more.

Do what ever it takes to get home. Make good story.

One last thought, a quote of mine... "We live our life in such way that we can keep our grandkids entertained with our wonderful stories we make." Make your memory a good one, no regrets.

Done~ hopefully you read them all... I think it might help.

P.S
I have a happyman holding a cup because I'm in the lead in liquibet, EAT MY DUST suckers! :p

P.P.S
Ah darn~ You not gonna be him till feb 2nd? Dammit~ that just ruins the whole story...
How about(excuse me) get into a ship and get smuggled into canada illegally :D that'll make a ten times better story with the draw back that you might die and not able to tell any story at all :p

i don't get it. are you saying you both are virgins or that you both didn't vote. because one option doesn't refute what he says while the other really isn't that insulting at all

GUYS I GOT GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DEC 28TH IM GOING HOME !!!!!

i got in touch with a friend from home . his dads a pilot. he said flying standby will take me about 3 weeks to get home this time of season. so he got me a cheap flight. i burrowed money from some one who wishes to remain anoynomous. and that gives me just enough to get home. i have 4 transfers. london to dublin to jrk to seattle to vancouver.

i would like to thank all of TL.NET especially the ones who contributed to the 98euros total in donations. liquid`meat for giving me an opertunity to work for him. i now know more about directories.

im alittle sad i wont be back for christmas. its the best he could do. would of made my story better to tell my grand kids hehe. oh well. a story i got.. and a story i will tell..

thank you all again :D
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you again

write a detailed travel summary and explain what happened when u got stuck in the netherlands. Perhaps that will inspire more people around here to help out if someone from here ends up in similar situations.

i dont believe it a bit. read the thread and wanted it to be true at first but dodging questions over 28 pages not a single post from a person he supposedly met. answers were always shady and partly difficult to believe like not having any friends who would send him money or whitdrawing his entire money from his account. he never let himself commit to a clear statements. and than stuff like "i live in "randomname" its a rough suburb in amsterdam, ask the durch people here" seemed so fabricated.

i dont mean to offend you. just how this seemed to me. if its true you dont have to give a shit what a radnom guy on tl thinks.

strafe wasnt all that bad. he did ask as few of his colleages to help me out. but that kind of fell apart some how. i dont remember the details.. i really dont have any pictures of europe except for the ones on disposable.

Holy crap, so you were stuck in some foriegn country and you came out alive. amazing

Good to see you safe, that would be so sad if you had to live there for the rest of your live, not offending the netherlands, I'm just saying it would be horrible to be so far away from your home forever

haha.. i wouldnt of stayed there for ever. i think i mentioned that i had a return ticket for later on for the next year.. it was a sale ticket. no transferable, non refundable, no exceptions. i tryed really hard haha.
then turned to tl.net and the girl i stayed with helped me out as well.. its a bad feeling having nothing with no help , stranded.

netherlands was a beautiful country. sylvia the girl i stayed with showed me alot. ( not just amsterdam)
went down to utrech , rotterdam , endhoven . some crazy windmills. she took me everywhere.

Wow. So inspiring. For me this thread sums up TL quite well:

- Drama more awesome than the latest Lost/Heroes download,
- Trolling, low-life scum that deserve to be dealt with by the "owner" in Haji's 2chan thread,
- More cynicism than all of Richard Dawkin's bookshelves combined...... but in the end...
- A community that supports and looks out for others... how fucking lovely.

Write a full out book about your experiences and the kindness/cynicism of an internet forum that helped you along your way to get back home. I'd definitely buy that, and it'd get TL a lot of exposure XD.

Holy shit, this thread rocks everything I just read all of it. Lol at Strafe and the other bm guys, that was so cruel. I'm glad you got back safe!

If you want to do something for the community that helped you, you could write your story down and try to publish it in some way so the site gets some recognition. And be sure to post next time you go to europe, money or no money!

A thread has never gotten so many feelings out from me ever. Love for TL, Hate for Strafe and BM guys( seriously for half an hour i was almost ready to kill...) Gotta say that i liked your attitude to everyone, not taking anything for granted, doing what was necessary. The world needs more people like you!

This made my day, my month, my year.

Lol user11. Something tells me you are not even stranded in Amsterdam. First I felt sorry for you and wanted to help you. But seeing you here begging and continue to beg gets me pretty angry. "I have too much pride to do a decent hard working job such as cleaning, but I have no trouble whatsoever to resort to begging at people I don't even know"

Seriously if you are not ready to work while its offered to you I hope you freeze to death on the streets, fucking beggar, I'll save my money for people who actually need it and do something for it. Like making crappy music all day long on the street<3

I'm not joking I really wish you bad things. Oh and really, learn english. You are from fucking Canada for god sakes

Wow...what a douche seriously, shows why TL was well known to be elitist.

But then User11 posted that epic bump 2,5 years later (bottom of page 31) and affirmed that things worked out

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

Thanks whoever bumped this thread, I enjoyed each of the pages very much, and user11 has a great story! This thread kinda makes me wanna travel. Also, its probably good that this thread was started in the BW days before SC2 kids like me flooded into the site. There woulda been so much flaming nothing would get done (not from me though!).

It would be nice to hear from him and what he's been up to lately. Job ? School ? wife ? kids ?

Funny, pretty sure he is(was) a scam artist - although a really good one (how did he constantly withdraw paypal funds without insane fees in 2005 in a foreign country?).
Any money he got was well deserved.

Didnt read every page but beside an ip from the netherlands (which i can get from anywhere in the world) there never was any verified proof?

Also, if his story was true i would be hellbound to pay everybody back asap.

He worked for Liquid Meat, a cofounder of this website (I think). Scam artists don't scam minimum wage job opportunities.

I know but that doesnt proof anything or did they actually meet up?

He didnt do it for the money, more for the luls i suppose? Which he clearly got.

@DOX
Dont know if Skype In was available in 2005, cant verify that now but Meat could have just spoken with somebody User11 asked (i suppose it was a landline with a country code from the netherlands) - so thats no real proof.

@Navi
The fun in threads like this is (at least for me) to solve the mystery, like in Columbo. Also, where i live, when you call in sick you have to have a sheet from your doctor to back your story up.

Oh shut up icydergosu, take it as a story with a happy ending, feel good about it and have a good day.

I remember this thread well, glad it was bumped, i never knew the ending and i'm literally happy (smiling) that this was real (not a scam) and it all ended nicely, quite epic.

Amazing story, i missed it, so glad i could read it now. Seems pretty legit to me, he also met some people and provided some proof of what he said. The one thing i learn from this story is (apart from planning ahead and having insurance), if you ever ask help to your embassy, tell them you have no shelter, no food and no money. Then you will get a stupid ticket home for free (or maybe you have to pay for it later).

Hey everyone!!
Iv been getting tons of Facebook messages. I usually keep up to date with my Team liquid account. School/Work is very busy for me at the moment. Yes to all you skeptics , Team liquid and its community did bail me out of a jam while backpacking through Europe. Everything about this story is 100% true. i did meet up with a few members from tl.net that live in the Netherlands. We had a great time!!

ill Answer as many questions as possible ^_^
im happy to see this bumped..

As for the notebook. It never actually sold. Scammer after scammer kept sending fake paypal notifications that wanted me to ship first. haha . I am currently using it at the moment. ^_^
thanks to all who helped me get home and a big thanks to TL.net

Hm. Would this actually work? How serious of a crime dya have to commit to get expelled to your home country?
Would it be enough to do something relatively harmless.. Like going into a bank with a stick or a baseball bat and say that you're robbing it, and wait for the cops to arrive?

Well depends on what kind of work you want to do. Things like working in shops is going to be hard of course. But i still see a lot of english speaking people succesfully working in bars and stuff.

hahaha!! a few small errors!! but pretty brilliant.

it was for liquidmeat and i believe it was 8 or 10 euro / Hr . All for the same cause though.
Strafe was a little out of order. Saying one thing in a Pm and then another on the Forum

I dont come from a very wealthy Background. Work is very hard to find in a foreign country with out a visa. i did the best i could with what i had and had help from people iv met on my travels as well as tons of Tl.net Users.

a Few hundred dollars = A very small amount of euros ^_^

Read this whole thread and amazed at the power of TL.net back in the old days. I doubt the same feat could be done again ever since SC2 overpopulated this place. I don't even play any game now but i love to just come back and read the general forum lol.

Anyways, this actually makes me want to travel especially since i do have the money to do so but i think i should wait until i graduate from my university (only at my first year, so a long way to go). Also, i have loads of respect for the girl that user stayed with and is the main reason for me want to travel: to meet new people.

So true, I kinda had same problem myself recently.

Cool that everything turned out fine for User11

I was homeless for 2 months but 8 oct I moved into this new apartment which is the first time in 20 years I finally have a comfortable/suitable place to live and It feels great! I even remember seeing User11 posting on TL a few years back, but I never knew about all of this, again I'm glad things worked out for you

Wow, I just stayed up all night reading every single post in this thread. Truly epic story to be had here and it's awesome to see how awesome TL was back in the day. It makes me wish I was a part of the community back then. I too wonder if the community is as tight-knit as it was back then and/or could help someone in a similar situation now.

Can some one sum up the story for those of us who don't have time to browse?

Once a upon a time, some teenager infamously called user11 decided to wonder the world
he thought i'd be nice to get high, drunk and wasted with random fellas from the UK.
Using his CSI-tier detective skills, he realized he got robbed the next day.
So now he's broke and needs monay to go back to sweet old moose land aka Canada.
He worked as a slave for LiquidRaszi for 7.5euro/hour
Stafe is a gigantic dick.
User got home safely after a few donations, making money and getting lucky with a flight.
Stafesuxs

The End.


hahaha!! a few small errors!! but pretty brilliant.

it was for liquidmeat and i believe it was 8 or 10 euro / Hr . All for the same cause though.
Strafe was a little out of order. Saying one thing in a Pm and then another on the Forum


"I just read most of the story. TL is an amazing community, but that guy is a bum. I find it VERY hard to believe that he couldn't scrape together a few hundred dollars to get back home"

Well depends on what kind of work you want to do. Things like working in shops is going to be hard of course. But i still see a lot of english speaking people succesfully working in bars and stuff.


would do anything at the moment to be honest with you, was really close to getting an job at aegon as ict support but it fell through, when i went to agency such as team tempo they basically said you don't know dutch gtfo. Bar work i heard is easy to get in Amsterdam but i live in Den Haag so its not the easiest place to travel to for bar working hours

Whoa, this guy would have been ripped to shreds if he posted that in 2011. Or even 2009.

I seriously can't believe it. Not only would everyone think he was trolling, but at least 35 people would made angry posts about his bad grammar / spelling (which NO ONE AT ALL mentioned :O :O :O *shocked*)

Good story..at least what I've read so far. I'm going to read the rest later.

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

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...

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

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.

just spent, like the last hour reading the full thread, great story but i thought he would of gave a little bit more back to the community that helped him out when he was on the bones of his arse and in a foreign country. He eventually got home then you never hear from him again until 3 years later, if that was me in his position and a community as awesome as this helped me out when i was in dire straits, i would owe my life to teamliquid.

Am sure he is good guy and maybe just felt a little embarrassed by the whole situation or whatever, but he has debt to this community now and he should of shown a little more love imo.

Why would you want to lie to your own embassy?


To get the help that they should be giving you anyway so you don't have to feel bad mooching off friends and random people on the internet. What kind of question is this? As for the person who said that he needed money and not a place to stay, what did he need money for? Wasn't it pretty much for food? Getting the embassy to assist you in getting into a shelter would have eliminated the need for this. Sure, it would have been a lot less interesting as a story, but it would have also made a whole lot more sense than looking for random jobs online and burdening people with your situation (basically the girl he was staying with and whoever else was supporting him while he was meeting people for free meals and drinks).

I'm not sure why you would see this story as inspirational at all. Maybe it was inspirational while he was backpacking across the world, but I don't see anything inspirational about his decisions from the moment he was robbed. If anything, they were irresponsible and short-sighted.

He needed money not just for food, but to change his flight because the ticket was for a plane in the UK at Feb 1st and he couldn't afford to stay at that girls house until then. Changing your flight location and time isn't necessarily cheap either. I would rather him be sincere than be a dishonest person.

Assuming that the embassy would have helped him into a shelter, there would be no need to change the flight since staying at a shelter would mean he wouldn't have been burdening the girl he was staying with. Just because someone is willing to take you in doesn't necessarily mean that you should take the offer, especially when there are alternatives. They may not complain about it because they feel sympathy for you, but still you should take into consideration that you're burdening them with your problems as well and try to find a better way to deal with it.

If he told the embassy that he didn't have a place to stay, it wouldn't have necessarily been dishonest since he only had a place to stay due to someone's good graces. It's not like he had a hotel he was paying for or an apartment he was renting. He was essentially homeless.

If he told the embassy that he didn't have a place to stay, it wouldn't have necessarily been dishonest since he only had a place to stay due to someone's good graces. It's not like he had a hotel he was paying for or an apartment he was renting. He was essentially homeless.



The girl i stayed with i met in Australia. She was very supportive and helped me out alot.We still keep in touch and are very close. I dont feel i made any poor or short sighted decisions.


For everyone who added me on Facebook. If you go to my photo albums and look under random you will see the lovely girl i stayed with " Sylvia" and other pictures from around Europe that i had a on disposable camera.

I never went inactive. I got right back in to BW after few a few months back. I hung out on the site quite a bit. i still kept in contact with old bw friends. Im really proud to see my old friend " Lzgamer" still very active and doing well!!


I will never forget what the Tl.net community and its operators did for me.. Now that I look back i can say that it was a Great Adventure and an awesome learning experiance!
thanks to all who helped me get home and a big thanks to TL.net

Those were the good old days!! Wgtour/Pgtour really improved the foreign bw scene.

I played sc2 single player. Played a few games on bnet but never got into it. I got over whelmed with school and work.

I guess there is still hope for mankind, It's always nice to read something like this once in a while.
These are the things we should be reading about in the newspapers instead of what Paris Hilton's shit smelled like and the new haircut of Justin Beiber.

I'm glad everything turned out well, I was recently in the same position (well almost) I got stuck on Fuerteventura for a couple of weeks. Lucky for me my parents could help me:p

It absolutely should be required TL history reading (maaaybe an abridged version though ^_^). I just read all 840+ posts from beginning to end. What a crazy, inspiring tale!

Honestly, it kind've overwhelms me with "sc2-joiner" guilt but I feel a bit better believing that if this were to happen again today, we'd all help out just as readily. Just think how differently this could've turned out if everyone decided to be a skeptic O.o

Just read to when he finally got back home on the 28th. Hot damn that was an epic story. I feel this could have been made into an awesome movie.

Unfortunately this story also generated some wanderlust in me. I really really really want to go travelling now... unfortunately I've been a lazy ass the past 5 years at uni so I haven't worked or saved up anything to do so =(

Oh well, I can just live vicariously through stories like these I guess. Epic bump. Awesome story. 5/5!

Oh lawd... I actually sat down and read the entire thread... I'm glad this didn't happen to me. But had I been on TL back in 2005, I'd donated for sure - hoping ppl would do the same to me.

Glad you got home safe - even though slightly late for christmas. Seems this thread has been bumped quite a few times - and I dont mind hence it's a cool story (bro ), but yeah... The power of TL and the users is pretty immense, when there's something to support

I remember being on B.Net during this time period, that's why I love this story so much. Players like Drone and Testie would actually 2v2 on USEast. LJT did, too. It was a pretty good time period for BW.

I had an account on here back then, but I can't remember the name. Maybe if a mod sees this you could help me?

Seriously if you are not ready to work while its offered to you I hope you freeze to death on the streets, fucking beggar, I'll save my money for people who actually need it and do something for it. Like making crappy music all day long on the street<3

I'm not joking I really wish you bad things. Oh and really, learn english. You are from fucking Canada for god sakes

Ill just add, things like that with gasing tourist, happens in alot of "less rich" Europe countries, especialy in eastern parts of Europe, for all those (will be hurst but i must use this word) clueless people who thought its unrealistic, and ill quote "sounds like james bond" , that shit is real.Very real.

Anyhow, so glad i bumped into this, spend 2 hours at work reading, but was worth it

I just read this thing from start to finish, every post. I thank the people that bumped this. Epic read, glad stuff ended up OK.

You can see how TL changed from 2005. BMers from then would have been banned long time ago if this was a new thread :D

Also, I must say when User wrote "close" about the girl he stayed with I was sure he meant they had sex, but much later he said they never did.

Also, I must say that if I was around when this was happening I would be pretty pissed how he just disappeared for 2-3 years (last post 24.12.2005 and then again only end of 2008). I would have wanted to know how it ended. But reading it all together it was like watching an adventure movie or something :D

Just for the record: we do not gas and rob people here. I have no clue where did this story come from, but if something like that happened in Prague in 2005, everyone here would have heard about it.

We are fucking western Europe, you know? But a random guy can throw shit at my country on the internet and everyone starts believing that this is like a wild East? I call bullshit.

Hi.

The OP is not calling you a gas-attacker and a thief, nor is he calling your people gas-attackers and thieves. He is simply saying he was gassed and robbed in your country. Tourists get robbed by thieves everywhere by all kinds of interesting means.

Try not to take things so personally.

By this logic, I am not taking it personally. I am simply saying, that I don't believe that he's telling the truth.

People do get robbed, but gasing someone in his room, that's just unbelievably unlikely. Guess he was just drunk and slept through the robbery.

I've heard about this story so much. Even though this wasn't one of the "official" bumps the admins have been doing recently this thread still deserves to be here so that everyone can know about how good this community has been to people.

I feel that if everyone can take this as a lesson that not everyone is a jerk on the internet.

Sorry for the double post.

i thought i would post some Q/A

fK.Korn aka mannerwatt (sc2 i believe ) did qualify for WCG Canada that year. we were planning on sharing a hotel in Toronto. I don't regret not participating because i would of missed out on all my adventures in Europe and this thread would have never happened/

" why wasn't the pressed involved , Gas attacks are rare."

I really don't have an answer for that. We contacted the police and gave them all the information they needed. The only response from them was " we will look for your stuff" which wasn't very helpful. If you google "Gassed and robbed" or something along those lines alot of cases pop up. Some even in Prague. It could possibly be the same people doing it.

Wow...it's 5:30am and I've spent such a long time reading all these recently bumped threads. They've all been good but this one in particular is awesome on a different level!

Reading the positive reactions and support that MOST people had all those years ago really gave me a sense of how close knit the community was back then and has taught me the value of not being too afraid/proud to ask for help when you really need it. Also found it amusing how reaching 20 pages made this one of the longest threads back then!

So happy that I got to read what I agree to be a great part of TL history. I highly recommend that everyone take the time to read all of this. Makes me super proud to be part of this community and a little regretful that I haven't been part of it for longer. Also makes me wonder about what other great stories/threads/events have happened that has led to TL being the awesome site it is today (I'm sure I'll eventually learn more/read about those over time).

Lastly, I also feel obligated to say that...Strafe is a douche! :p

TL;DR: I highly recommend reading this entire thread cause it's an awesome, epic story and a great piece of TL history that will make you proud to be part of this community; Strafe is a douche :p

" why wasn't the pressed involved , Gas attacks are rare."

I really don't have an answer for that. We contacted the police and gave them all the information they needed. The only response from them was " we will look for your stuff" which wasn't very helpful. If you google "Gassed and robbed" or something along those lines alot of cases pop up. Some even in Prague. It could possibly be the same people doing it.

Just read the first like 30 pages. What a thread. A true TL classic. In a similar $ situation right now, and after having been depressed for like 12 hours unable to sleep I've gotten quite a chuckle. School is so damn expensive T.T Suddenly my current economic situation doesnt seem all that bad.

What really intrigues me is the fact that he didn't asked for help to some real life friends, instead he asked some random internet users.

Just mind blowing.

Looks like user11 trolled, or he didn't had any real life friends back in 2005, when he started this thread.

Holy crap. What an amazing story. TL is such a great community! I am getting some chills reading these posts from 2005 and then the response from User11 in 2008.

Just simply amazing. User11, your life seems to be really eventful!

Sadly was in a similar situation to him just last month. I helped people out, but when I needed a hand none of them offered or even said yes. Friends are "Few" in this world.

I ended up asking someone who wasn't a friend but I knew he seemed like a good guy, and got to stay at his place for a month till I got re-situated. Good news is, now we're friends.

This is a touching thread . Gratz user11! Glad to see that everything turned out OK for ya! I had a friend who got stuck in Israel in a similar situation after he had graduated high school, only nobody had heard from him for like 3 months hah. Nobody knew what was going on because we couldn't get a hold of his family or whatnot so we had assumed the worst. Anyway. Glad to see ya made it out OK! user11 fighting! ;P xD ♥ ♥

No, this was in the time before everyone lied about everything to "troll." This is true, and the guy received a lot of help. A lovely TL story

I have read trough the thread, but it still makes no sense, how come his family&friends weren't able to support him with this issue, i read something that his mother send him 80$...

Awesome family and friends this dude had/has.

Yeah, they had the money to send their 18 years old from Canada to Australia, but some months after they can support him only with 80$.

So they gave him all the family savings, just to support their child and his backpacking adventures around the word?

He said many times in this thread that his father died, his mother had some injury and couldn't work as she did before and that he also had two sisters(i think?). So yea, maybe she just didn't have a lot of money

Didn't knew that, I only read the first 4 pages, then it got really boring.

Anyway, if he knew he had economical issues, he shouldn't had started traveling, and instead support his mother, by getting a job in his town.

So you read 4 pages in a 30+ pages thread, and then you start saying stupid shit just because you didn't read everything.

No you didn't read the thread because you would have known that he already had asked his few friends for money and spent the whole day looking for work and this was basically his last resort. Always better to admit that you don't know what your talking about then to act like it.

Btw it was 50 dollars

Good to hear, that you decided to finish school, and got a stable job that can support your traveling addiction.

Wow, are there any summarizes? Just Read page 1 and it looks pretty much like it worked out as an insanely great TL story?

Edit: Oh so sorry, didn't saw it was 6 years ago :/ Still great!

I read everything, except some of the flaming that started by the end of your story. Best thread I've seen on TL, wish I were here back then, would've donated. Cool that you're still posting here, 6 years later.

Just....wow.

What a crazy story I can't believe how much time I just spent reading this.

Glad everything worked out User!

And wow I'm so sad I wasn't in the TL community at this point in time, I was most definitely a very active BW player and not being here for this thread.......

I hope that this is true, but a couple of things make me suspicious.

There was never any confirmation from anyone else that they had met User11 in the Netherlands. Passion offered to meet him, but it looks like he was "too busy". There's also no proof that he met any of the TL admins: Meat and Nazgul never confirmed having met him. He did work for Meat over the Internet, but there's no indication that they ever really met. He offered to meet users at the Out Back Bar, but no one replied saying they were there. No word from "jelmer" he was supposed to meet either. Didn't give Jelmer's TL username.

The way he rejected Meat's offer was a bit strange: if he really only had 100 euros in donations on his paypal, and needed at least 150 more + some to pay back his friend, then 8 euros / hour would have been good money. 8 euros per hour is still a decent salary for cleaning a house in 2011 (11 USD/hour, way above minimum US salary). Working 20 hours would have given him the 150 euros he needed. He said he wouldn't clean the TL house, but "im still looken for work that doesnt involve me cleaning your room and u pointing and laughing.... ANYTHING :D" anything? Cleaning a house doesn't sound so bad.

He also never upload any picture of himself or friends, or of his ticket (blacked out of course) or any kind of proof other than his words.

The only things in his favor: he still posts, he gave his facebook (could be fake) and no one, including the admins, called him out on it or said anything.

So, this could be true, but... I think this definitely could be a scam and some people don't want to see that possibility. There are some good scammers and you should never believe a good story from a stranger without some kind of proof.

I believe it wasnt meats offer i think it was nazguls.( cleaning ) A Tl.net member located in toronto lent me the money who wishes to remained anonymous. I did meat up with a few tl.net members. I only took pictures with one of them who is pretty well known. ErkaBrand "WGT Super Admin" at the time. I will have to track down those photos.

As i look back now i dont know why i turned down the extra hours of work i could of had cleaning meat and nazguls place.

For all you wondering i did not receive the 50$ claimed to have just been sent to me. If it was actually sent i can assure you it wouldn't be accepted.
thanks to all who helped me get home and a big thanks to TL.net

This really intrigues me, why would you reject such an offer, specially if you were an "old bw gosu" as you stated in your first post, i don't see why reject the offer to clean the TL houses.

It's not about "turning down extra hours of work", it's more about turning down the opportunity to meet Nazgul and Meat. That seems really odd, specially if you were such a bw fan, and a TL fan.

I doubt they would have laughed and pointed at you, as you decided to take the job and clean their houses, and somebody that is in such a dire situation won't think like this.

You guys should really read at least more of the thread and not reply to posts that are a few years old. Hint: he went to the embassy and they could not help.

Read the whole thread until the story ended, on my mobilephone, taking the most od my 4h train ride. I didn't end up studying as much as I would have wanted too to ^^. Either way, it was worth it, definitely a cool read.

Also, if you are going to post in this thread, at least read a few pages so you understand the concept. This wasn't necroed for nothing.

holy fucking shit.

just read up to when user11 posts again in 2008.

just gotta say, WHATTA FUCKING EPIC STORY.

being a naturally skeptical person, i thought this was a massive scam, and a little bit of me still thinks it is. but perhaps, this is the case when someone genuinly needed help, and tl was obviously so fucking awesome to help him. ofcourse, there are the obligatory flamers/trollers/haters, but man this guy was so smooth rollin them over.

however, i hope u learnt some lessons from this, e.g. always having a backup. as much as i really hate the flamers, they did have some points which you should always do when your travelling from now on. u need to always have backup money. u need to have insurance.

this is meant in the nicest way possible, and im glad u made it home

wow, you seriously could write a book about this and the power of the internet. tl is such a frickin awesome forum.

OK
I want to ask you all this:

The guy is a KNOWN Canadian BW player...
I'd say around B-/B level if I recall
He was going to WCG Canada... friends with Fayth, Veg, hell, maybe even Testie... so him being Canadian adds up.

He was tracked to a Netherlands IP address
how can people not believe this story?
