I have no idea. I don't ever stay in a hotel in Amsterdam. You should search a hotel within your budget online.vardar wrote:2. I am an avid food enthusiast and enjoy checking out cool restaurants and cafes that are unique and ofc, have good prices. If there are any good places, I am all for checking them out
Dutch food is great, though we're extremely multicultural (especially Amsterdam!) so you'll find food of any kind here. I personally love Turkish and Chinese food, but you can find anything here. Funnily enough, we have some of the best Chinese, Indian (after Britain), and Italian restaurants here.
Traditional Dutch food? This might belong in a new thread but I'll give it a try.
[spoiler=Dutch Food].. and much more, I might create a thread later lol.
Bitterballen -- One of my favorites. Usually eaten a few hours before dinner with a few beers, these fried crispy meatballs will be one of the best things you're ever going to eat. Bitterballen are traditionally served with mustard. You can find these at any cafe or pub.
Stroopwafels -- Stroopwafels are a type of waffles with syrup in between them. You can find these in any market or bakery.
Belgian Frites -- Belgium is basically a Dutch province, don't let the fake news media tell you otherwise. You can find these anywhere in the city. Belgian frites are much better than the American or French variants.
Broodje Herring -- Not my personal favorite, as I dislike fish. But it is a Dutch specialty, which you should definitely try. You can find these in any fish stand in the city.
Kibbeling -- Fried fish. Amazing. Try it. Fish stand @ city.

Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk Museum, Anne Frank House, Hermitage, Amsterdam Museum, Van Gogh Museum, Scheepsvaartmuseum ("Maritime Museum"), Rembrandt Museum.
All of these are in Amsterdam. You can visit any city in the country and get back within a day. We're not that big.vardar wrote:4. Fourth and most importantly, what are some awesome places for running? Trails, parks or anything else suitable is what I'm going for. This is probably what I am most excited about, being able to run and see some awesome new stuff
The Vondelpark in Amsterdam is pretty big and ideal for running. You'll be able to find plenty of parks, though.

Word. Don't need to be in NL to do that though.
PS I like to bitch when KSooper/Kroger closes from 0000 to 0500, NL sounds terrible if they don't open before noon, damn

I like my milk. Milk is good for you. Whole fat please. Skim, no, no thank you. I'll just skim over all the valuable nutrients, yeah right. However some milk just isn't good. You try to go Walmart and pick up a great value gallon of milk and it tastes like ***. Nationality has nothing to do with it probably, that would be racism anyway. I'm not going to buy an airline ticket just to go drink your supposedly better milk. Nope. Nein. Nyet.
Cows will be cows.

Yes, for sure. The chip is much cheaper and easier to use than single tickets. However, if you are using the same line every day (for example a bus between your house and a university, or a train between two cities) you can also buy a subscription for a year for that line, and than you have 1 fixed price and you are able to use that line as much as you like. This pays off if you use the same line like 5 days a week or something.

How many classes do you take after school each day? What did you get in your PSLE? Engineer, doctor or banker? Are you looking forward to military service? What's your mother tongue language? Do you ever get claustrophobic? Which is better; Hwa Chong or Raffles?
