Netherlands is one of the best countries I've been to. Its squeaky clean throughout with excellent infrastructure. Most of the roads, public transport systems look spanking new and are not overloaded. Its also quite green. The long distance trains are also pretty fantastic compared to the ones you might find in the UK or US. Amsterdam is one of the most liberal cities in the world with a good startup eco system. It definitely is one of the best countries in the world. The USA honestly feels like a downgrade compared to it.
- tasuki 7y agoFuturistic, why not. Squeaky clean throughout - now that must be a different Netherlands than the Amsterdam I lived in! Particularly after Koninginnedag or the New Year's Eve it would take days of wading through a thick layer of mush before it got cleaned. I've never seen such a mess anywhere else! (And I kind of enjoyed it. It felt... alive?)
- thewarrior 7y agoWell generally it’s not like that Atleast whenever I’ve been there. Or try comparing the Caltrain or buses in the US with ones in the Netherlands.
- ricardobeat 7y agoAre you japanese by any chance? Amsterdam is considered a messy place even by the Dutch themselves, especially inside the canal ring, but compared to most european capitals it is as clean as a shopping mall. Those festivities are special days, and there aren't many throughout the year.
