  • behind that straight faced glare on the women about to run you down on her bike is a very happy person, the dutch are very social people, never in my life have i seen so many people on cell phones while riding a bike and talking to the person on the back of the bike..he he he for real you will see this on a daily basis. the dutch also seem to be very goal oriented people, they just wanna get to point a to point b without any distractions or tourists getting in the way. i must say that americans could never handle the streets in amsterdam, we don't have the patience or ability to deal with trams, bikes, pedestrians, busses, and those funny little mini cars. i fell in love with the dutch way of life! i can handle all it has to offer.

    ATM / Money Exchange / Tipping: it's not called a a.t.m here
  • Tip Rating:
  • if your looking for an A.T.M you won't find one, because they are called geldautomaat's or chipknip's. they are similar to u.s atm's and they promt you to an english button. not sure what the fee's were, i haven't gotten my statements yet.
