Hoi allemaal! (Hi everybody!) 👋 Welcome to the last week of July, we hope it’s been a great one! ☀️The past seven days were marked by the housing shortage. Dutch universities even warned international students against arriving, to avoid being left homeless in the streets. 🙄🏠 It’ll be interesting to see how the next semester will go, since the amount of internationals moving to the Netherlands has doubled since last year. Hopefully the grim housing situation doesn’t scare them away! 😬One group of (former) Dutchies who recently went international is the oil company, Shell, who’s been raking in billions in profit, while the rest of us have struggled to make ends meet. 💸 Very uncool, Shell…Dutchies aren't only being gouged on high energy prices, they also paid €1.7 million in damages from phishing scam calls in the last ten months. Ouch! 😅With all these expenses, the Dutchies might want to consider working more to get some extra cash, since only half of the active workforce is currently employed on a part-time basis. On the other hand, the farmers of the Netherlands have been hard at work this week, as they continue protesting the government’s nitrogen policy. This time, they’ve also started lighting hay bales and manure on fire (with some lovely support from Mr. Trump across the ocean). 🔥Finally, the age-old debate about Dutch fraternity culture has also lit up recently, with an Amsterdam-based association reportedly calling women “cum buckets” (pardon our French) in a big speech. Classy, boys. 👎Well, those were some of our top stories this week, which one is your favourite? ✨Tot ziens! (bye!)Juni 🌞 @DutchReview
