The post boxes in the Netherlands are bright red and hard to miss. Post offices are open Monday through Friday, 9 am to 6 pm. Postage on a postcard is roughly .50 Euros to anywhere, although if you are sending one across the ocean it can take roughly a week to get to its destination. Make sure you mark your envelopes "air mail," "par avion," or "per luchtpost" or it probably won't get there! To send an international letter or postcard, drop it in the overige slot of a mailbox.

When you gotta go, you gotta go and in Amsterdam, being a guy has its advantages. You'll see these public urinals on the street, so instead of yellowing up the canals, you can take care of your business right here, with all the world watching as you shake the dew off the lilly.

The love afair of the Dutch with bicycles is amazing. Here in greece, I seem to be among the few who find the bicycle the most reasonable means of transportation. | vpeter Sun Jun 24, 2007 21:27 UTC
Yep, bikes are everywhere. Not only in Amsterdam but in the whole Netherlands:-) Happy travels. Greetings from the Netherlands. | Nemorino Mon Jan 8, 2007 12:22 UTC
Glad you enjoyed your visit despite the February weather. I rented a bike when I was there last May and had a great time cycling all around. | tissie Mon Oct 16, 2006 12:56 UTC
Thanks, reminded me of my trip to Amsterdam too long ago (1980), it's a lovely place, must go back sometime! |
