If you're living or know anything about Amsterdam, I NEED YOUR HELP!...and "hi"

Here's the deal--oh sorry...hello everyone, can't wait to get to know you all!--

Anyway, here's the deal...I got a bunch of things I gotta figure out, and all (hopefully) can be taken care of while I'm in Amsterdam...

Brief intro: My name is Mick Lauer (actually Mick, not Mike or any other possible variation), I'm 24 living in China (though I'm only half chinese...the other half being white), and I'm going to Germany to be my bestfriend's bestman for his wedding.

Today is Sept 1, I'll be in Amsterdam on the 7th. I was hoping you guys could help me out with a couple things:

(1) being the bestman, I have to arrange my buddy's bachelor party. Sadly, I'm the only male friend he had that could make it out. I plan on getting him good and wasted, but I don't want to do the run-of-the-mill gig, where we just go to bars and get wasted, I want it to special and awesome and crazy! I thought maybe if we did a bunch of different things I could distract him enough not to notice that I'm the only friend that could make it out...y'know?

(2) This one is more important in a business kind of way.
I'll be in Germany and Amsterdam for 2 weeks, then I'll be returning to China. however, my Visa has expired and I need to find a Chinese Embassy (or consulate)...I googled "Amsterdam" "Chinese embassy" and got a bunch of links to a site that doesn't exist. I'm hoping there's one in Amsterdam so I don't have to trek out to Berlin. If anyone knows anything about this PLEASE tell me as soon as you can...

I'm not normally such a curt jackass, but this situation has gotten pretty intense! It's supposed to be a time of celebration, and I feel more stressed than when I was studying for finals at New York University!

Thanks guys, hope to hear back.

Most ambassies arent located in Amsterdam, but in Den Haag (the Hague).

 

wait... den means the?! oh my god

i'm trying to learn dutch now, and it can be confusing because the program i'm using doesn't teach grammar... anyway... if you dont mind... de = the (for nouns with a gender), het = the (for nouns without a gender), and den.... please, tell me about den! this is very confusing!

 

haha no youre right, de means the, and het means the. forget about den, its old dutch, hardly ever used, and not easy to explain. just pretend it doesnt exist and stick to 'de' and 'het' k?

 

haha thanks
