The New Year festivities in the Netherlands have left two people dead, dozens with serious injuries and destroyed Amsterdam’s historic Vondelkerk church.

Yeah and I loved it when I was young. We’d always to try not annoy others too much, not to scare animals etc. And great to meet people, the only time the Dutch are a little sociable. I don’t live there now but something seems to have changed in recent years, or maybe it’s because I’m not from a big city
Oh, I liked it too - if there’s one thing that good be nuts about is fireworks ;)
Also agree with the difficulty of socializing with the Dutch, especially as an immigrant who didn’t grew up there with a group of friends. Looking back, almost the entirety of my circle of friends in The Netherlands were other immigrants.
No idea how things are nowadays since I’ve left the country almost 2 decades ago.
