  • I might be slightly exaggerating depending on how big it is and location but yeah everything in Amsterdam is crazy expensive. The toilet situation is pretty normal these days I think? I think they get plugged into the normal sewer systems, the days of it just falling into the canals are long gone (but that’s also a part of the yearly expenses along with mooring costs, property taxes and so on). Also you can’t even mortgage these things normally because banks consider them high risk so you get less advantageous terms (higher costs, bigger down payment, etc).


  • Love Scotland and the Scots (one of my best mates is one, and I visited many times), but it has the unfortunate flaw of being part of the UK indeed… I guess the obvious option that is similar-ish without having that flaw is Ireland, but personally living in the Netherlands I’m only really considering a move if it’s to somewhere truly different (tropical, etc).
