mj__99: I'm at Busstati&! Geleen in Geleen, Netherlands https://t.co/8InGERiAKQ https://t.co/YiaekIZ4I5

I'm from Belgian Limburg and used to go to Maastricht or Geleen in the past, but for years now foreigerns are not allowed in coffeeshops in the southern provinces of the Netherlands. But I just read some articles from last year that said they would try a test period during which Belgians/foreigners can enter coffeeshops again in the southern cities mentioned in the title. The 2018 articles I read are less clear on the current situation. Can anyone confirm please? @Foreigerns ? On dirais que vous en avez deja assez fumer Derp. I typed it correctly twice... the incorrect spelling was obviously a typo. Are you borderline retarded or just very French? I'm not from the Francophone part of Belgium, btw. @NO, at least not in the official "koffiesjops". Thank you but there's lots of articles to be found. Eindhoven: https://www.ed.nl/algemeen/coffeeshop-in-eindhoven-blijft-toegankelijk-voor-toerist~a28571e9/ Roermond: https://sittard-geleen.nieuws.nl/nieuws/20170127/buitenlandse-drugstouristen-roermond-ontdekt/ Tilburg: https://www.bd.nl/tilburg-e-o/buitenlander-is-vanaf-maart-weer-welkom-in-tilburgse-coffeeshops~afef0c3f/ Etc. Wiet-ontheffing Tilburg tot 2019 TILBURG - Buitenlanders zijn in elk geval tot 1 januari nog welkom in de Tilburgse coffeeshops. Burgemeester Weterings heeft de proef voor deze 'wiet-ontheffing' met drie maanden verlengd. https://www.ad.nl/tilburg/wiet-ontheffing-tilburg-tot-2019~ad9539ce/ etc. I went to Weert today and was allowed to enter.. Yay. @They are in the phone-directory. Some may even have a website I tried calling two of them but one number was disconnected, second one didn't pick up. Also no answer contacting them via their website/facebook. But thanks again :) Anyway, for other Belgians reading this: Paradox in Weert (Went there first because it's closest to me) is confirmed. Quality & prices there are decent, very clean place and friendly people. I will try the other coffeeshops later.

I received a letter from MOD or MEDIA OPPORTUNITIES DIRECT, INC at PO Box 223, 6160 AE Geleen, The Netherlands telling me that I won $1,677,519.00 and asked for $26.00 processing fee.

They say I have won $1,677,519.00 if and when I send them a check money order or cash for $26.00 for Processing payment fee & Postage & Handling.

I need twenty one... how many can you think of off hand?
