This was Amsterdam. I just double checked: 11.69 euro
Interesting they charge significantly different rates for different cities, maybe surge pricing strategy like Uber?

I’m new in town and was hoping to meet some fun people
Turns it there is an underlying intention of meeting potential dating material, as I matched up with 3 single women.
Being a married man I had an amazing evening and lots of fun discussing dating apps and dating life, though I’m not sure if the ladies would rate the evening equally successful given the absence of potential dating material …
I do have problems updating it on my MacBook though
Valencia seems to be the new place to be
In Italy, I always wondered why Sicily or Sardinia isn’t more popular with foreigners. My gut feel is that it has to do with the bureaucracy of living there.
In France I don’t know, maybe Bordeaux?
When they shut down I could only buy e-books on Kindle
This inspired me the solve my curiosity.
On a related overregulation note, I visited a playground in Leuven recently where they had to decouple the water toys because regulations requires playgrounds to use drinkable water for water toys, and the eco-warriors were against spilling drinkable water for the playground. Again in the Netherlands they just pump ground water for the water toys in playgrounds
I notice this makes me drive more relax, and especially with a baby it’s way easier to keep the baby asleep
You know coupons in the newspaper? They serve exactly the same purpose. Some people take time and effort to cut them out every week. Others don’t and pay full price.
It’s a way to make customers who are willing to pay more pay more
Edit: referring to the “always on sale”, not to the cancellation promotions
When I’m kind to people, especially in other departments, they don’t mirror it: they’re stressed, they’re pressured by their boss or it’s just not the culture of that department… even after months of cooperation
Kinda confused with the meaning, there is more infrastructure than buildings?
And there seems to be a massive amount of urban grass!
I once accidentally deleted a GSuite 5 years ago and all documents were gone and non recoverable. I’m very careful now when playing with this subscription.
Kinda simcity meets train scheduling
The day before our arrival I receive a call that a boat somehow broke the water pipe which lies on the bottom between Rebak and Langkawi, cutting the island off from fresh water, and whether I wanted to rebook to another hotel.
Not sure what the moral of the story is, but it kinda fitted the context :)
but it's a gut feel, not based on facts or local knowledge.
Nevertheless a weird discrepancy.
As often with eu regulations there are a couple of loopholes so you have to watch out nevertheless (eg force majeur like bird strikes doesn’t count, or when the flight is delayed to next day they have to pay your food and hotel but I decided to book another flight and then they don’t have to pay anything back except the fixed fee which I didn’t know…)
That might mean what is seen as fair compensation in jpy is rather low when converted back to euro.
Somehow US airports always seem to be surrounded by densely populated residential areas, even in the direction of the runways, while Euro airports don’t seem to have this problem. And secondly Us airports always seem to take huge plots of land compared to Euro airports.
My assumption is that Us cities are just bigger, both in population and in the amount of surface they claim (lower population density)
