    Van Gogh museum while high is great.

     

    I agree that walking around Amsterdam high is an excellent use of time.

    Benjen is dead.  

    And just because Howland was at the tower means he knows the truth.  He likely does, but Ned could have kept it to himself.

    We never saw the body - certainly its implied that he is dead but dead characters come back (Jon Snow, The Hound).

     

    They went to the tower to fight and left with a baby.  Howland Reed knows that Jon is Lyanna's baby and could easily determine , since the Kings Guard was at the tower and not with Rhaegar, who the father is.

    ^ good summary. I remember a few minor details differently but that seems pretty comprehensive to me

    One other thing to mention is that Bran/TER and Sam know the full truth behind Jon Snow's parentage. Bran saw that he was Lyanna Stark's son and that she and Rhaegar loved each other but thought Jon Snow was still a bastard. But Sam found in an old book that a maester secretly married them. They put the puzzle together in a conversation with each other but as far as we know, no one else knows the truth yet.

    Howland Reed from the TOJ is still alive.

    In the very first episode of season 1, Jon Snow was pleading with uncle BenJen to join the Nightswatch.  Jon says he doesn't care about having kids and BenJen says something to the effect of "that's because you don't know what that means".  So I believe that BenJen knows the true parentage of his nephew.  So that means Benjen, Howland Reed and Sam/Bran all know the truth.

    I'm a few weeks out from visiting Amsterdam..Mar 6-9.  Any tips?  I found two coffee shops near my hotel that are supposed to be pretty cool and I found a place for space cake near the Van Gogh museum so I can properly view art in the correct state of mind. 

    I have spent a great deal of time in Amsterdam.  The coffee shop/Van Gogh museum combo is one of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon.

    I was there this past summer and went to a neighborhood coffee shop.  I found that the weed was average.  In the past, I had incredible weed on every trip.  I think we actually have better weed here now thanks to good old fashioned American ingenuity and desire to get fucked up.  You'll likely find better weed than i did (was there with my kids/parents this summer - so I was limited) with your research.

    I would recommend a few things for your visit.  Assuming you will be high for your entire stay, you should consider:

    • take a canal tour of Amsterdam (rondvaart boot)
    • Rijksmuseum to see Rembrandt's work
    • window shopping in the red light district (at night for better viewing)
    • eating at a highly rated indonesian rijstaffel restaurant - former Dutch colony that has interesting cuisine.  Get the rijs taffel option - a shit ton of variety of tasty food
    • hang out at a "brown" neighborhood bar
    • eat poffertjes (small puffy pancakes with butter and powdered sugar)
    • eat a late night shawarma
    • Heineken tour (used to have free, unlimited sampling - was awesome)

    You'll notice that the food elements (other than poffertjes) are non Dutch. 

    Also Heineken is waaaaaaaay better in the Netherlands than here.  Its a completely different beverage.

    I have a Pax but they are expensive. I am going back to this.

    The PAX is ok.  I like the controls available but I find that my Pax pod continually falls out.  I prefer the magnet element holding the pod in on the vclaw fire.
