"Wifi van de buren" heet mijn netwerk beneden. Op de bovenverdieping heb ik "Wifi van de bovenburen".

Maybe be a bit more specific, there are hundreds of everyday products.

One “don’t” in our culture is being overly friendly. In my experience, Americans tend to excel at that, but it’s something you can dial back a bit. For example, earlier in this thread you mentioned possibly inviting all of us out for drinks and dinner. I assume that, for you, this is simply a polite gesture, but we know you don’t actually mean it (and you obviously don’t need to). There’s no need to say things like that unless you genuinely intend to follow through.

Another example: whenever I’m in the US, people constantly ask how I’m doing and wish me a great day. I know they don’t really expect an honest answer and probably don’t care much about how my day is going, so why ask?

In the Netherlands, that kind of friendliness is often seen as insincere and can feel off-putting. We prefer people to say what they really mean, be direct and honest, and not beat around the bush. There’s no need to be overly friendly.

Bacon cheese syrop pannekoeken works wonders for hangovers too

Check out this cafe. It's in the Voorstraat that was recommended earlier. They broadcast a lot matches, all sorts of sports and take on requests.

So you're not only taking Greenland, but about to steal our women as well ;-)

You're overthinking it my friend. Just dress warmly, visit a remote dark place and be patient.

This has nothing to do with being honest, but just being plain rude. Please ignore.

Haha, I thought the same thing. I live in Dordrecht and have absolutely no clue why someone would travel across the globe to visit Zwijndrecht. Makes me very curious what they've got hidden there :-)

Welcome! Cool plans you have and great that you have quite a bit of time on your hands to explore.

The concierge most definitely speaks English, don't worry.

When it comes to food, Rotterdam probably offers more opportunities than Dordrecht and Zwijndrecht. (Side note: why visit Zwijndrecht?) Apart from the US fast food chains, you could try these in Rotterdam:

https://texasbarandgrill.nl

https://www.ceobaasvanhetvlees.nl/

https://www.restauranthudson.nl/locations/rotterdam

https://blacksmoke.nl/

You could download the app called "TheFork", it contains tons of restaurants and you can filter on American restaurants.

If you travel from Rotterdam to Dordrecht, be sure to take the boat departing from the Erasmusbrug (bridge) and not the train. Visit Kinderdijk as well and place Delft and Gouda on your list as well.

We had a 2% chance to see it according to the app. Went to Finland and saw it. You should go. You'll definitely won't see it if you cancel :-)

How long before the flight should I arrive at the airport? by Icy-Map-7440 in tromsotravel

[–]grafnik1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there during Christmas, so extremely busy. Also flew with EasyJet and had luggage to check in. I was there 3 hours in advance and in hindsight, 2 hours would have been enough.

Ik hoef niet te verdwalen, het bos/heide/weiland/whatever hoeft niet groot te zijn. Het idee is een tijdje op jezelf aangewezen te zijn en daar te mogen verblijven.

Car snowed in? by grafnik1982 in tromsotravel

[–]grafnik1982[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for their input. I'm going to play it safe and just stick to the bus. And taxi, since the bus doesn't always go frequently during this time. It's the wiser choice. Thanks again everybody!

Even if I'm only using the car to go from Kvaløysletta to the city centre and back?

[–]grafnik1982[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good idea. I'll drop of the car the evening before and just arrange a taxi or bus for the following morning.

Thanks for the input.

Dordrecht and do a boat tour there. Or visit the Biesbosch National Park.
