🎵 Alone in Kyoto - Air

Hi!

This is Dani, Italian and 2 weeks ago (this thread) made me cook Lasagna for 3 lovely strangers and 2 days ago (this thread) made me meet another 3 lovely guests at my place!!

Shoutout to Bodhi, Sylvia and Floortje - mod asked me to post something

Therefore, I am making the signature Risotto this Saturday for lunch, around the city center.

I would love *to host 3 people* that would like to make new friends and eat the best Risotto in town!!

Feel free to send me a message and I will create a whatsapp group later on!

PS: I have created r/DinnerClubEU for anyone that would like to meet new people by sharing food together :)

#amsterdambells - I got 5 new followers on my Instagram account last week 😂

In the last 6 months, I stepped into dog poop at least 5 times…

I’m mostly on my bike, and even when I walk it’s only on the pavement.

Clean after your dog.

If you’re incapable of taking care of another living being, don’t get a dog.

Rant over.

Hi! I hope the person affected sees this! Our car was robbed tonight (feb 1st) at the parking APCOA parking at the heinekenplein, and our bags were left somewhere thrown around the parking lot in the 3rd floor. Being so distressed we took all the bags without checking but we accidentally took a bag with an iPad in it. We do not know who it belongs to, but we hoop dat the person affected sees this. We will also be going to our local police station to leave it with them so that the person can get it back.

If necessary we will pay for postage to get it back to the person affected.

EDIT:

Just to let everyone know we returned all the belongings to the owner! And he was very happy :) thanks everyone that replied and maybe skip this garage next time you need one :p

I cannot believe how filthy and broken I’ve found the Breda train station’s PAID (EDIT: 1,10€ WTF) bathroom today.

It’s so close to being a scam that I’m actually thinking it might be an actual scam, a way of getting easy money and intentionally not give the expected service. I do believe now that there is a group of people who are planning the cleaning so that they can get the most money with the least service possible.

Smelly, toilet paper AND the toilet paper support on the floor. Empty and half-broken soap dispensers. Dirty water everywhere.

There are many other things in life that are way more important than this, I know, but every time we look elsewhere, we are making our future worse, way worse.

We also need to have a conversation about the people who are worse than monkeys when using public services, but let’s schedule that for another post.

Edit: The receipt said 0,50€ but I was charged 1,10€, I really have no words. Edit 2: now I know …

I spent one week in Netherlands recently, and something genuinely surprised and concerned me. In many fast food restaurants and casual eateries, access to a sink is either restricted or requires payment. As a result, I observed many people eating without washing their hands beforehand and leaving without washing afterward.

As a medical intern, this was particularly unsettling, since hand hygiene is one of the most basic and evidence-based public health measures. Soap and water are not a luxury; they are essential for infection prevention. When I looked into this further, I came across data suggesting that handwashing frequency in the Netherlands is relatively low compared to many other countries.

This made me wonder whether this is a recognized public health issue and whether there are any efforts by health authorities to improve public access to handwashing facilities. I am not trying to criticize individuals or culture, but rather to point out a structural issue: when basic hygiene …
