Fun fact about Amsterdam/ Amsterdam, Netherlands

Hmm not really fun but maybe an interesting way to know more about their life

#Recycling system

Like people in Milano, or any city which bicycles are common. People like throwing bikes into the canal.

For illegal parking of bikes, citizen has to pay for 50€ and get their bikes by taking 2-hour bus. They prefer buying another second-hand bike in this price. Those unclaimed will be sold in the second-hand market and that's how they call as recycling system.

#Boats

For boats without cover and fill with water, anyone can claim to own the boat, that's how homeless people find their new home.

Instead of owning a boat, they usually prefer rent a boat and pay monthly.

#how people died in canal

Sometimes there are drunk people wanna pee near the canal and fall into the canal, died...Once our guide saw two girls holding each other and trying to pee, they were so drunk and fall into the canal together. She jumped into water and saved them. Her experience told us never swam in canal, except the one near Central station.

And not tried to save 0.7€ toilet fee haha

#University

Student paid 2000€ for their first degree only. They have to pay more for second degree so most of them prefer studying in Belgium afterward, which is more affordable.

While my polish roommates said it's free for them to study university

While it costs me almost 4000€ for studying in a public university

#Dutch ppl never close the curtain

Even people living in city center or lower floor, they don't use curtains often. Sometimes you will see some naked people inside the house when you pass by. The one closing all the time are probably foreigners.
