Amsterdam

If you'd asked me 3-4 months ago, whether I would ever live in Holland or in Amsterdam, I would've said:"Are you kidding me?!".
But now that I live here already for over 2 months - it is really not too bad.cool
And I am not saying that just because cannabis is legalized here blushing laugh
Amsterdam is full of foreigners so I don't feel like a foreigner myself. Everybody speak English on a conversational level.The Dutch language is quite special but if you speak English and German then it is more or less legible.
All this canals, bikes, old houses, there is something very special in it. The atmosphere is unique (and I don't mean just in the Red Light District blushing ) laugh

Dutch people really know how amuse themselves as well. They have invented some really cool games that once can play everyday while waiting for the bus, tram, metro or train.

Here is an example (I play it everyday on the way to work and on the way back):
Form a compact mass with the others who are waiting, and do so as soon as the vehicle appears in the distance. When it arrives block the doors so the exiting passengers can't leave. Above all, don't move out of the way when the doors open and people attempt to get out, as this might speed the things up. After all, you wouldn't want anyone to get ahead of you in the mob.
If, however, you are a passenger waiting to exit, then you have the right to curse the stupid idiots blocking your way.

In rush hour there will be enough of you to form an additional blockade. Stand or slowly stroll so as to prevent those who have managed to exit from hurrying to the stairs or escalator or to a connecting bus or tram. In this pinball game, you score points each time someone bumps into you or is otherwise inconvenienced and frustrated by you.laugh
