my god, I would probably give 20 k to my mom, 20k to my dad, with 5k I would buy stuff for my nephews, because If I give the money to my brother his wife would probably buy useless shit with it,

and 5k for me, probably save 2.5k and spend 2.5k, buy a laptop, shoes, some shirts, sports supplements, lol

I didn't have any problems in Amsterdam but I only visited for a few days.

If there is something I didn't care for, that would be the huge concentration of bikes everywhere. Streets are very small (downtown at least) and people get around w/ bikes which is great, but there are so many bikes everywhere, you constantly have to watch out for them. They don't seem to have brakes, either, and it's not like here where pedestrians have the right of way, it's "get out of the way when you hear the bell" because they don't stop for you, even downtown in the pedestrian area. That can be annoying.

Otherwise, people are expected to behave in public, so when you walk around, you don't notice anything out of the ordinary, but what you do behind closed doors is understood to be nobody's business (within limits though, I'm sure)... IDK I like a society that treats adults like adults




check out the bike parking lot (I think that's the one near the train station) insanely huge, not a single car in there, just bikes, bikes, bikes
