Groningen vs. Amsterdam

It's pretty shitty many of my friends have moved out of Groningen recently to persue jobs somewhere around Amsterdam or Utrecht. Of course there's still plenty of chances seeing them during weekends, but still it's not the same. I miss being able to call someone any time of the day to meet up and have a drink somewhere. Nowadays things need to be planned well in advance and then still something could come up.

It made me think about leaving Groningen as well, to be at least a bit closer to where the action is, but then again, I really like my city and I don't really want to leave. I see Amsterdam as a great day trip, but not really as a place where I want to live. Mind you, if I do want to move to one of the big cities, I would pick London instead of Amsterdam any day.

The good thing about Groningen is, that it's quite a diverse city, you know with the University being situated here, but still it's not so huge you could drown in it. It's sorta like a warm blanket to roll in. You can go out in Groningen any time knowing you will bump into people you know, something I guess is a fat chance in Amsterdam.

Anyway, no matter how good this may sound, fact is I don't have any plans for tonight, while I do want to have plans, so that's a bit fucked up.
