I was craving a brezel and bratwurst so I took a little weekend trip to Berlin. I boarded my 109 euro (booked two months in advance) round trip train at Amsterdam Centraal. I knew it was a doozy of a 6.5-hour train ride so I loaded up on books and movies. Naturally, I did not

No, I didn’t just make up the word Efteling. It is the name of a fan-fricken-tastic amusement park in the Netherlands. It’s based on the Brothers Grimm fairy-tales. Now, you may think oh but I am just simply too old to go to a fairy-tale amusement park. WRONG. Well, mostly wrong. efteling rides There is

Replace funny with horrible and let’s get started. So housing in the capital is a nightmare. I personally have moved 8 times in 5 years. Some places were overpriced and waaaay outside the city centre about a 40 min bike ride. After being here for so long I only know distances in bike riding minutes.
