Don’t make this grave mistake that I did when I came to Amsterdam for the first time.
I came to Amsterdam in 2012 for the first time as a tourist.
I relocated to the Netherlands from Germany in 2015 and have now called the Netherlands my home. I have learned a thing or two (or maybe zillions) about this country, its culture, and its people. The more I knew, the more dumbfounded I became.
Some of them have been incredible and opened my eyes, which I wrote about in detail in this story. And some are not so great like this one, which taught me a hard lesson too.
