In Amsterdam there are many people who want to profit from the tourists. Some sell waffles, others cocaine and some are thieves who go after drunk people's wallets.
I tell jokes, bring them to coffeshops or their hotels and always try to make them feel good.
Sometimes it can happen that a drunk man loses his friends in the crowded alleys. This time it was again an English man. The tall type with no hair, strong accent, asking me if I could help him to find the ferry to Rotterdam.
I immediately saw it in his eyes: He needed me. Amsterdam's trustworthy and fast problem solver!
I told him that he found the right guy and that he immediately should relax and switch to holiday mode.
I'm a professional and did this before.
He told me that he lost his buddies and that he must meet them at 5 in the evening.
In case I would bring him to his friends on time, he would 'reward me plenty'.
Better don't fuck this up Marty..
It's like being Sherlock Holmes. Finding pieces of information to connect the dots.
What colors did you see when you left the bus on arrival? Yellow? Victoria Hotel! Did you see a big white thing? Dam Square!
He didn't remember but I already had enough info.
I rolled him a joint while walking, gave it to him and said that his job was to smoke it and I would do the rest.
At the tourist center a friendly dutch woman told me the location of the bus stop. Only 20 minutes until 5.
I steered us through the full city. It was a Saturday.
When we arrived his 20 buddies, most of them as tall as him, were darn happy to see him.
They looked at me, a dirty hippie, a bit sceptic. A guy like this? My new travel friend announced: “He's a professional! He helped me to find the way back“.
The situation was funny. I guess they never had to thank someone from Germany that much before.
I enjoyed the attention and my client gave me me 25 euros and a beer.
The glass wasn't large. I drank it quickly and wished everyone a great time.
You are a good Samaritan
