So I guess we are talking about like when I am even older than I am now, eh? I am preferring to not acknowledge this time frame of my future. I heard that if you don't validate something it is not real....I will not age.
Here are the TOP 5 reasons I would like to retire in Amsterdam:
1. It is truly a beautiful green city. It's got clean canals & I can live on a house boat. I saw a boat while I was there that has red geranium window boxes & I thought it looked pretty promising.
2. The Heineken Experience is there. I love that place, its a very nice brew tour & you get 2 free beers when you go. I might even work there in some elderly work program. I am sure Amsterdam has things like that. Maybe they would even let me take the Heineken Horses for a gallop along the countryside. We could go check out the dutch clog makers & maybe pick up some fresh cheese together.
3. Both the Rijks & the Van Gogh Museum are there. When I went to the Van Gogh museum drunk from the Heineken Experience I felt I would need a little more time to mill through all the info here. I could do that. I could probably spend every day of my life looking at Van Gogh's work.
4. Currently I am pushing my body to its limits. I feel like in about 5 years (when I plan to retire from my life of fame & fortune) I think I might need some certain substances to "deal" with my "back pain". If you get my drift
5. If you did not get my drift I would like to get my hands on mind altering substances and catch up on reruns of Oprah, Dr. Phil & Nanny 911...on my boat, with an old dog so I feel like I have someone to relate to me.

my place would be china. no taxes and you can live very cheaply there.
