As the title shows, me and my wife had our first kiss in amsterdam while I was travelling for work and she was visiting family around 4 years ago, We had gone on what was supposed to be a 2 hour date that ended up as a 12 hour date and culminated in our first kiss sat in this random mini park while eating a mcdonalds.

All I remember about the park was that it was very small, Had a set of swings, was around central amsterdam, benches to sit on and was tucked inbetween rows of houses, one of the walls next to the park had graffiti of animals also

Attached is my crude layout of the park

Please if you have any knowledge of where this park is let me know, I want to surprise her with a date there as a wedding anniversary gift

EDIT: THE PARK HAS BEEN FOUND!!, I can never thank the members of r/amsterdam enough for this, One of the best days of my life that Ive spent years searching for the location of and this subreddit found it within a few hours. Ive already planned our flights and im …

Hello there!

Earlier today someone placed this notice on the corridor inside my apartment complex’s entry hall. It is not known if it was placed by someone who actually lives there or someone that was able to get in.

There were cases of a couple of delivery pakketjes being stolen previously, but not sure how this qualifies.

Complex has 70% Dutch owners, 30% foreign immigrants like myself.

And what the hell is that about the salt? I sent a message to the company asking if this is just a troll mixed with hate, or if it’s actual corporate policy from them. Any one ever seen anything like this?

Reminded me of EDIT weird racial/us-vs-them stuff. At least I got a good laugh out of it by calling my GF a volksverrader and a bloedverrader by being with me, a terrifying non-European that just buys the cheapest possible salt available and does not drink oatmilk or matcha.

Still love NL ❤️

NOTICE:

Concerns the total annexation and dilapidation of our complex …

@amsterdambells if anyone cares 😉

We found this suspiciously tame duck in front of a chinese restaurant, that ate out of my hand. I wouldn’t have wondered except earlier in the day we saw a “lost duck” poster (with like, a black and white outline of a duck, no actual photo, I took to be a joke or publicity stunt). Plus, wild ducks don’t usually have white patches.

It’s probably a coincidence, and it’s just the restaurant’s somewhat morbid mascot, but… at worst I posted a cute duck pic.

Edit: she’s been identified by locals as a regular of that dock, and the poster is guerrilla marketing for a restaurant. Thanks to the redditors who identified them, and to the mods who fast tracked approval of this thread in case there really had been a lost pet 💜

Thank you from a Portuguese.

Like seriously in what universe do they think I’ll buy and use a softener that costs more than my clothes lol

All the plants are dying or dead in my city, entire fields are dead grass now. I’ve seen it rain once in the last 6 weeks. I feel like i’m the only person I know who’s made comments on it. Everyone is just living life like it’s normal

Good afternoon everyone, I just want to start off by saying that the idea of this post is to share my PERSONAL experience.
I have lived in the Netherlands since 2018 and came originally for my studies (EU citizen, female). For everyone who will ask: I speak fluent Dutch, have a Dutch job with a salary a little bit higher than average, and I have both Dutch and international friends.

My quality of life decreased the moment I finished my studies and started working. My salary is high enough that I don’t qualify for most subsidies, but at the same time, my net salary is just enough to survive with the increasing cost of living. I cannot imagine living with roommates until I marry, as finding a studio in the Randstad area below 1500 euros per month is almost impossible. I am aware of the housing crisis, and unfortunately, I know a lot of people still living with their parents, or being married and unable to move out with their spouse.

Furthermore, I have a car, as my job does not …
