Amsterdam looks quite festive around the holidays! The boat cruise with all the lights looks so amazing and peaceful! One of my favorite things to check out around this time of the year is to check out all the Christmas lights! Awesome video!

I've been subscribed to your channel for a while now and I really enjoy your cheerful demeanor and positivity (I can't believe this channel doesn't have more subscribers). As a Dutchman (from The Hague myself) I'm always interested in how expats experience our tiny country and it's fun to see what other cities are up to during the holidays. The light art looks awesome. Thanks for sharing!

Dankjewel! I adore this country and will be exploring more 😊 I really appreciate your sub but also your comment. It's always a bit scary to showcase somewhere knowing that I'm not native. If you haven't caught them yet, check out the Laag Holland videos--you might like those. Such a great area that I got to explore in unique ways.

My one and only time in Amsterdam was December 2004. We did a canal cruise but I don’t remember there being a light festival. What our tour guide did say which I always wanted to fact check was that it is very common for Dutch people to keep their curtains open at night and to not worry about people seeing them in their homes. Is that true?
@aWanderlustForLife2 жыл бұрын
True. Many have a frosted privacy strip but i think that more the younger people. Our sheer curtains are common too. But I remember one night Sean got home and was shocked because he walked by a window and accidently saw a, ummm, VERY intimate moment with completely naked people.
