Meet Cosmo, a 19-year-old student and native Amsterdammer, as he shares his perspective on life in the city: how he spends his free time, gets around, and how Amsterdam has shaped him.

I’m Dutch/Moroccan, I grew up in Amsterdam for the first 20 years of my life… Absolutely loved it, loved everything about Amsterdam, unfortunately I was priced out of the city, as it’s exorbitantly expensive back in 2015 and even more so now. Thankfully that pushed me out of The Netherlands and into Berlin, which is literally a quarter of the price and just as amazing. Dutch students, literally have the best life in Amsterdam…

Living in Amsterdam used to be my dream when I was a queer teenager in homophobic South America back in the 1990s. Happily I got the chance to come to live and study in Madrid (Spain) when I was 18 and my dream of living in a cosmopolitan, tolerant, safe and vibrant european city came true in 1999 and made of Madrid my personal paradise. I trully love it but I still dream of visiting and seeing Amsterdam with my own eyes and imagine how my life would be if I had the chance to live there back then... Hopefully next year I will visit it 🙂

Grew up in Amsterdam from 1980 onwards. It was a very different city back then. Much more normal people, although there where a lot of issues with addiction, economic downturn and hooligans. Still, I loved the chaotic nature of the city and it had the best clubs and theaters. Nowadays most normal people have left and what is left are either very rich Dutch (mostly not from Amsterdam), expats, (very) poor people (mostly immigrants and some whites) and old people. I hate to admit but I am glad that I have left since it is allvery sterile and it sucked the soul out of the city. Fun Amsterdam is slowly dying.

@whimsicalhamster88 Ай бұрын

As an American, I gotta say, this guy is living in a fantasy land. How can you know real freedom if you can’t be forced to buy a car to run routine errands? And all of this eating and drinking in public without the fear of an armed person ending it all for you and your friends because it’s harder to buy a gun? Well, that just takes all of the intrigue and risk out of daily events that we Americans cherish! And what a small apartment! I live in a house that’s far away from everything I need and keeps me nice and insulated from scary “others.” You never get that mix of security and mind-numbing anxiety living in Amsterdam. 😂

Very fun place. I was there for like three weeks in the 1980's. I have only vague memories. Stayed on a barge hostel and smoked a lot of hash. Amazing drug, you take a small hit, and a cubic kilometer of smoke comes out of your mouth. I may have lost my virginity there. The Red Light district; at first I was amazed, but now I think it's sad and sleazy. Dam Square. Always something happening. Freaks and hippies and buskers. There was a Christard with a giant cross preaching with a megaphone. Some scary looking middle-eastern men then came up and started menacing him and pushing him around. They deserve each other. I wonder what it's like now, because that was like 40 yrs ago. (My God!!) Don't want to be negative, but I assume it's probably worse. I have been following closely the invasion of mud-people, I mean the cultural enrichment of Western Europe. Well maybe Mr. Wilders can straighten all this out. In all honesty though, I don't think I'll make it back there.

@@user-xl8ce7sl8u You never watch the news ,crime rates, racial attacks, etc. Sure, Amsterdam likes to project the idea that everyone is accepted, but that is not how things really work in practice

How happy with so little. I cannot imagine it. Is this what it means living in the developed world. I wonder if I can climb the stairway to where his mother lives🤔

As a dutchman I don’t even recognize Amsterdam as part of us anymore, never really did. It’s completely full off tourists and immigrants to the point you probably can’t buy something speaking dutch

Which part of the Netherlands do you think is the most Dutch? I hope someday i can go there & mingle with local residents, I've always been curious about Dutch Sorry for my grammar, i'm from indonesia, i hope you understand my question

@@Yourfavoriteface hey, your grammar is completely fine mate. The best place i think is hard to say but a lot of other citys do pretty well besides Amsterdam. Ofcourse it still has way more of the same type of people like in amsterdam compared to our towns but if you just want to experience a good nightlife type of place then Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Utrecht etc id say are the best. But if u just want the most dutch places its probably in north brabant and any little town would do but there’s obviously less to do besides some places. But those places would be the best generally to be with majority dutch people and i think that if you’d tell them you came here just to check their town out id bet most would be very happy because normally no one bets a sight. So i cant really name a place but if i were you id check out online what fits for you, but i just don’t recommend Amsterdam because it’s not real dutch culture but a tourist/immigration spot.
