#Amsterdam #Review

#Amsterdam #Review And so, after 4 days in Amsterdam, I'm heading off again, so it's time to sum up my impressions. I had a rather complicated experience with Amsterdam, because despite the fact that the city is objectively doing a lot to make life…

#Amsterdam On my last day in Amsterdam, I decided to work in this cute coworking café, which was converted from a former school gym 😄.

#Amsterdam and the problems with trash

#Amsterdam and the problems with trash I can't ignore this topic, because although I sometimes give many cities a pass (after all, everyone is far from Japan), even by European standards, this is too much. The entire center is literally littered with…

#Amsterdam You know, there used to be collectible cards that you had to rub to release a certain scent. This picture is also infused with a specific scent - the scent of the center of Amsterdam!😆

#Amsterdam The beautiful old houses on the water in the city center are certainly cool, but they have little to do with how people live in Amsterdam. Most of the city is an endless series of brick 3-5-story houses, with long parallel roads. I just lived…

#Amsterdam Here's someone I didn't expect to meet here - my old friends from Bangkok! They're really tough guys. But otherwise, they're absolutely awesome guys!

#Amsterdam An awesome spot in a city park on the outskirts. Lots of animals are grazing on an open farm, and you can freely approach them. I have a similar "zoo" in Toronto, but there the animals are kept in enclosures.…

#Amsterdam Of course, I got around the city by renting a bike. I registered with Donkey Republic, which allows you to borrow bike shares from parking stations. The starting fee is €1.0, followed by €0.5 every 15 minutes. Overall, it's cheaper than using…

#Amsterdam In my first post, I wrote that I stayed outside the city center. I usually don't do that, especially in new cities, but I made an exception this time. Why? Of course, it's because of the prices, damn it! It seems the city authorities have banned…

And...

And... I've finally arrived in #Amsterdam! I'd love to show you all the beauty of this old city right away, but my hotel is far from the center! So the nearby landscapes look something like this. And in general, most of the Netherlands looks like this. The…
