@The Proctor I hope your travel documents are in order with your British passport. Border agents are starting to sound like a pain to deal with nowadays.

Huh, a little harder to visit than I would have thought. The Antwerp drug smuggling scene is probably the primary cause of this.
I had zero issues with passport control. Literally just walked up, handed it over and was waved through instantly. Longest delay was the guy asking if I was there for the weekend (apparently there's some party in Amsterdam that a bunch of foreigners were attending) and me pausing to say that no, I was also going to Germany.
Quick recap of Twitchcon 2025 so far. I had a good time. Worst moment was getting engulfed in a gargantuan cloud of weed smoke while out in a smoking area where some vtubers were meeting. The lines for meet & greets were hilariously, insanely long. Didn't get into any of those. Some people I know who have them scheduled for tomorrow aren't going to bother due to the need to queue 2+ hours in advance for them. It's insane, but not really Twitchcon's fault.
Clancy's announcements of new features were pretty well received. However, his twitch moderator appreciation thingy was the most cringe thing I've ever seen in my life. They had trannyjannies up on stage waving wooden swords with the names of their streamer carved on them. There's also some kind of new super awesome jannycord for twitch jannies, which I'm SURE won't be scraped or raided within days or weeks at most.
In the evening after Twitchcon I went and had pancakes at a nearby restaurant. They were delicious. The food is is so massively superior to Irish or English slop it's comical. The bill wasn't bad at all either.
Sadly, there is a downside;
Rotterdam absolutely reeks of weed. Every evening a cloud of it fills the air, clinging to everyone and everything. Most places are open till 6AM at night. Mornings are totally dead, I presume everyone is sleeping off the previous night's excess. It's also filthy. The outlying areas are rather scenic and attractive, but the inner city is a groaning dustbin. Junk piles up everywhere. Though on the bright side, I see no signs of homeless or insane people wandering at random either.
Netherlands really is like if hipsters had a whole country to themselves imo.
It's a student/party city, like the rest of europe nothing closes till 6 AM (even later if they're an afterclub).
That is true, but I will say that Rotterdam is the shittiest of the Netherlands' cities – a) it has none of the beautiful historical architecture that the other Dutch cities have, because the city was entirely destroyed by WW2 bombings, and b) while every large Dutch city has many immigrants, Rotterdam has the most (38% of the city's population is non-Western). (Actually, both of those things are also true for Düsseldorf, where Dokomi is being held.)
If you have some free time in between the conventions, there are a number of more historical and attractive cities within a short train ride from Rotterdam, including Gouda, Dordrecht and Delft. For the Düsseldorf area, I don't have any recommendations, though – the whole of the Ruhr region consists of industrial cities filled with cheap post-WW2 buildings, unfortunately.
One funny thing I'll relate. I caught a lift back to my hostel with some other people who were heading the same place. This gave me a chance to observe blacks practicing their ancient and unique Culture. In this case, it involved the driver brake-checking a black woman driver when she tried to blatantly steal his lane priority, which resulted in her driving 2 millimeters behind the car for the next few kilometers, before racing past us while giving our car the finger. This is the first time I observed this kind of behavior in the wild, and I found it extraordinarily funny. So did everyone else in the car.

You confused blacks with every asshole who owns a car, and bikers. Not saying there isn't overlap
Don't leave out theft now but I guess if you plan to keep what you stole you are technically the owner of it now.
After living off taters and canned baked beans for so long, Proctor finally learned that there are other things people eat on daily basis.
Cologne and Aachen are relatively nearby and do have something to offer.
Oh, I agree. Cologne has decent museums, but the architecture is very nuveau riche. Aachen is prettier, but has less to offer in terms of places to actually visit, rather than just walking around the city randomly.
No caravans?

Proctor needs to take a trip to SE Asia. There's advanced and expert levels to assholes on the road that I don't think he quite understands.
Good suggestions! Aachen is definitely a beautiful city, but a bit farther away from where Proctor will be staying, at least an hour's travel from Düsseldorf. Cologne, on the other hand, I've found a bit underwhelming – there's some nice old churches, but most of the city centre is rather blandly modern.

I think I'll hit up Gouda tomorrow. I've been walking around Rotterdam, visited the more touristy areas. I really like the domed market hall. It's expensive, but food was great.
