    Having visited the Netherlands, I have to say it’s an incredibly beautiful country with amazing public transportation and some of the friendliest people I’ve met. I wish we could be more like that. Instead, I often find myself avoid public transportation because of how much slower it is (easily an extra hour of transportation), the fact it just doesn’t usually go to where I need to go, and the risks associated with it (stabbings, stealing, etc) :(

      It never ceases to amaze me how different the US is from western Europe. Especially how dangerous some places seem to be. Why would someone stab you on a bus for example?

      I have to say you guys have amazing nature and I’d love to go hiking there some time.
