How I wish I could agree.
Living in the center of Amsterdam is something well outside realistic possibilities of Dutchmen nowadays. Dont confuse capitals for countries. As a former Londoner you must be aware of that (or not!). But thats a topic for another discussion.
- EdSchouten 6y agoDo you wish to imply that outside of the center of Amsterdam, it’s not civilized and sensible? Life in the Netherlands is pretty good in my experience, regardless of where you live exactly. I’ve spent almost my entire life in the Nijmegen, Eindhoven and Den Bosch area. I’d actually prefer it over Amsterdam...
- comprev 6y agoFrom experience it's very efficient especially dealing with Government, banks and other large institutions. The public transport network is superb too - OVfiets opens up a world of exploring on two wheels!
- brnt 6y agoNo, just that your observations are based on living in a way accessible to ever fewer Dutchmen. The generalizing statement that Dutchmen are sensible I would argue is as incorrect as it is anywhere. The quality of cycling infra is nearly everywhere good.
