Eating - Fast Food: Febo

  • Febo is a Dutch version of McDonalds (though they have that too), whose most interesting aspect was the vending machine style take-away food. All Febo take-away's had a self-service section where you put in the money and get the fries/burgers or whatever. I've never seen this type of service for fast food before and it sure didn't look very appetising, though it seemed popular. I don't eat take-away food as a rule, so I certainly wasn't going to buy it from a vending machine!

  • I've only ever seen these temporary toilets at music concerts, but in Amsterdam there are quite a few of them, mostly around the red-light district.

  • Amsterdammers were for the most part very friendly, but there are the odd few who resent the hordes of tourists. As we were passing these people on th ecanal tour, they said what sounded like ***ing tourists - perhaps that means something different in Dutch?

     Glad you rented bikes. I want to do that, too. I'm going to Amsterdam in May for a few days -- really looking forward to it.
