Goeiemiddag allemaal (Good afternoon, everyone) 👋
As the Netherlands prepares to vote in the European elections, Dutchies will also have a say in naming a new village — and the suggestions are hilarious.
Meanwhile, existing Dutch cities are only getting more expensive, as 4% of homes now cost more than €1 million, and this neighbourhood in the capital takes the costly crown. 👑
But even the wealthiest people (including the royal family, one of whom just enrolled to study at a Dutch university) aren’t safe from this summer’s mosquito frenzy.
Let’s hope those pesky bugs and rising housing costs won’t change the fact that the Netherlands officially has the second-highest well-being levels in the EU.
Finally, Amsterdam announced a giveaway of thousands of bikes earlier this week, which may come in handy for people who want to go to Amersfoort this summer, as their station will be largely out of action. 🚫🚄
Tot volgende keer! (See you next time!)
