Purple Prince posted:Amsterdam is like London except much more blunt and direct, and much prettier. You can get weed on every corner in both, but in Amsterdam they have shops for it. You can’t use toilets in shops without paying in both, but instead of loving around with key locks, the Dutch just charge you to use the bathroom. Just imagine everything about English culture (such as it is) magnified and in your face, and that’s Amsterdam. Is Amsterdam the one where there are stores with big glass windows out front showing off nekkid ladies?

What if one of the things you enjoy about Britain is the awkwardness and semi-polite messing about.

prefect posted:Is Amsterdam the one where there are stores with big glass windows out front showing off nekkid ladies? Yep, and we saw one when we went there. It’s only in one specific part of the red light district though. Not really judging whether the UK or Amsterdam is better, just the Dutch seem to have less compunctions about soulless capitalism than Brits do.

It's not so much compunctions as massive systemic contradictions and general feelings of unhappiness. Let the UK be a warning to the rest of the west. We just speed-ran what is going to happen to the rest of you in the decades to come unless things start mattering again.

A Buttery Pastry posted:How are you gonna cover two homes with 25 square meters of flooring??? This literally makes no sense. Sorry, I know I'm bad at explaining. What I meant was that they sell their small apartment for insane prices and instead buy two relatively big places in other cities. Renting one out so they can get the full landlord experience.

I'm not sure how things work in the UK, but in the mainland, domiciles usually come with floors installed at the point of purchase.

It is markedly easier to find "affordable" housing in London than it is in Amsterdam, not least because Amsterdam is tiny.

The kitchen is usually not part of the lease with the landlord, but every time I moved places in Germany, I was able to buy the existing kitchen of the previous tenant. People don’t move nearly as often as in other countries and it’s cool and good to be able to design your own home.
