#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 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…

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!😆

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…

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... 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.
