Bad weather, bad crime… but a good deed from the municipality of Arnhem
The duality of Dutch autumn 🍂
Goedemiddag, vrienden! (Good afternoon, friends!) 👋
This week wasn’t one for leaving the house — the weather was bad enough that we got to experience both a code yellow and a code orange. Tragically, the horrible winds even caused a casualty in Gelderland.
Meanwhile, a Dutch family supported each other a little too much, as five of them got arrested after causing chaos at a local school. That’ll be an interesting Christmas party… 👀
However, it’s not all bad this week. For example, the municipality of Arnhem tried out a new poverty relief scheme that involved paying off their poorest residents’ debt — in full and without a catch!
With news like this, maybe the Netherlands is the place to be?! This student sure thinks so — as he commutes from Germany every day to get to his Dutch university. 🚞
Finally, Dutch people are growing wider, not taller, as the number of overweight people is projected to reach 64% by 2050. Who knows, could be because of how unhealthy some of the most popular supermarkets are?
Tot snel! (See you soon!)
