About Groningen

Favorite part? This one joint in Amsterdam—red lights, weed smokin’, dudes stumblin’ out laughin’. I’m like, “Motherfucker, this is freedom!” But then—bam—ya see the grit, the underbelly. “Death is everywhere,” like in the film, lingerin’ in the corners. Little-known fact: back in the 1800s, brothels had secret tunnels—escape routes for rich assholes dodgin’ cops. Sneaky motherfuckers, right? Adds that real shit to the story.

Married men are apparently quite fond of going to brothels, who knew?

The heroine of Histoire de juliette () is Sade's fantasized version of a violent, crud and perverted female libertine. Drawn from a young age to sexual.

I pass by the local bakery, De Bakkersdochter. The smell of fresh bread hits me like a brick wall. I can’t resist. I grab a croissant, and let me tell ya, it was heavenly. Flaky, buttery goodness. I’m munching away, feeling a bit better.
