  • I’m from the Bay Area (an hour south of SF) and live in Amsterdam.

    I like Amsterdam, it’s beautiful safe and compact enough where it’s easy to get around. English is widely used. I miss the natural beauty and geography of California, a more open culture (people say the Dutch are tolerant but there’s this thing called “doe normaal” which is to act normal to blend in), and I honestly find Americans friendlier. I miss California produce, food that’s more diverse (especially Mexican and Burmese), mountains and the weather.

    I like having stronger workers rights and guaranteed 5 weeks vacation here.
