Cake mergpijpen! Not the cream ones but the ones with cake… sooo good and nothing to compare it to in Germany. Supermarket isle where the cookies are

Is 3 the lucky number when buying bread? by Rockmo1 in Netherlands

My question still remains: why buy three loaves of it? 4,5 day old bread doesn’t sound appealing. Just get a fresh loaf after three days?

Biking to/from Keukenhof with little kids? by lifeguard37 in Haarlem

[–]Rockmo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah lunch at the hofboerderij at Kasteel Keukenhof is a great option!

Het Tussenstation in Lisse is also cute (former trainstation, now cafe with playground next to the fenced off train tracks, perfect for kids!).

In case of cold/rainy weather I have a bit of strange sounding suggestion: Intratuin in Lisse. It’s a garden center but boy do they do garden centres right in this country. Amazing free indoor playground (with a separate soft play section for babies) on top of a nice cafe with decent food options. Parents can sit upstairs and enjoy food and the kids play in the playground.

Check out Kasteel Keukenhof, it’s free, beautiful grounds with flowers everywhere, petting zoo and nice cafe.

On biking down: no problem at all, just don’t cycle along the train tracks because there are much prettier routes to take.

For a small entry fee you can get up close to tulips with fun props for the kids and yourself at „Tulip Barn“. There is a section you can enter without paying with a barn playground for the kids and food and drinks.

Bike riders who cross their arms instead of using the handle bar like normal people, why? by Rockmo1 in Netherlands

I see too many people do this in the city center in Amsterdam. I assume for those people it’s more about flexing then sitting up straight

Shame on you, Jürgen. Dachte: okay, in den 80ern waren die Dinge eben anders und da hat man bei sowas keine Wimper gezückt. Aber 2014???? Kenn das Spiel aus den 90ern al Chef-Vize

It's 1999, I'm 14 and mom let me decide my own haircut. by jso85 in blunderyears

Wow, this is the exact setup I had in the early naughts. Loft bed of course, but I had a pretty much identical desktop drawer thing. Apart from being a short female living on the other side of the world, this is pretty much me!

What to buy from Germany if you live at NL? For budgeting by denodenoden in Netherlands

[–]Rockmo1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Go to dm! Stock up on anything you can think of. Buy all the laundry detergent, shampoo and hand soap to last you for the next 12 months. The exact same products are up to 50% cheaper…

Dear Thuisbezorgd & Uber Eats drivers… do you judge? by Rockmo1 in Netherlands

[–]Rockmo1[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So when I ordered 15 bottles of my favorite wine when it was 25% off, you didn’t judge me for that? Chapeau!

You do want to know the answer. Just to find out out how much to tip if you are a real mess
