Tell me about your visits to the Netherlands

>flag saying anything drugs, violence and abuse

We don't pretend it's not a problem

>Where have you been?
Amsterdam, twice.
>What did you do?
420 blazed it.
>What did you like?
Not much. The NL is probably a nice country, but Amsterdam felt like it had two very contrasting sides that clashed with each other: completely boring, soulless city with nothing in it, and a very dense, overcrowded area with tons of dude lmao shops, clubs and whores.

Also, I don't like how parks seemed to work there. There are way too many cyclists in them and they seem to have priority on the paths so you have to walk to one side in case they knock you over. Also, you have to always be on the lookout for them, whereas in the UK it's their responsibility not to knock into you when they're cycling past and turning and stuff.

Everything you described is a very well known problem for Amsterdam, and most things are exclusive to said city. Cyclists are dicks all over the country but only in Amsterdam they actually aim for tourists whereas over here they would just yell abuse at you when they pass you.

That said I don't think it's a boring soulless city but then again I suspect you of being Kuzu.

The Hague and surrounding area has by far the highest % of eastern-Europeans in particular Poles in the entire country.
What you thought of a Middle-Easterners were probably Bulgarians and Serbs

>Cyclists are dicks all over the country but only in Amsterdam they actually aim for tourists whereas over here they would just yell abuse at you when they pass you.
I don't really blame them, I would be pissed if I had to go around dodging tourists all day too. To be honest, I didn't even understand that they had these special lanes between the road and the pavement where cyclists go on, and I kept walking in them by accident because I thought it was part of the pavement.

>That said I don't think it's a boring soulless city but then again I suspect you of being Kuzu.
I'm not Kuzu. I don't have anything against the NL, I just didn't like Amsterdam at all. The city really rubbed me the wrong way, and I can't even really explain why properly. I'll probably visit the country again one day, but never Amsterdam.

>not Kuzu
Oh it's alright then. He's a little biased against Amsterdam for some reason, but I can take the criticism from anyone else.
It's alright though. I must admit I have only been to Amsterdam three times in my life. The city doesn't attract me either. Though from a tourist perspective it has more to offer than the rest of the country combined.

What would you be interested in visiting? Rotterdam-The Hague can be nice. They're about 10 minutes by train apart from each other and you get to see a quite modern city and a nice old seaside city with quite a few museums. You also get to see the demographic doom of Western-Europe.

I pussied out in a low key brothel far away from the actual red light district

I instead went to the Hague for fishing, didn't get any and I wasted my hoe shekels for a dumb boat rental

Naarden

My host family was really nice and we Are still in contact after all these years

I loved how everything was from bricks and of course bike culture...super comfy

Morrocans youths selling weed were annoying tho, stole my bike....

Naarden is among the wealthiest places in the country. I think houses there on average are worth about 400k
