Today my upstairs neighbor came knocking on my door for the second time since I moved to my new apartment. First time he came knock he asked me if I smoked weed cause the smell was going to his young daughters bedroom. I said I did and apologized and said I was going to smoke by one of the far windows in my apartment so the smell goes straight out. He didn't say a thing so I thought problem solved. Well, today he came knock again and started talking to me in a rude way, pointing fingers and saying "you said you were gonna stop" and "this is the last time I tell you" kinda sh#t. Here's the thi ..read more

My friend (23F) and I (23F) were walking through the Red Light District on a Saturday night around 22:00 - 23:00 when a couple walked up to us to let us know two other men were following us. They pointed them out to us and we agreed it looked like they were watching and following us close behind. They walked with us until the men stopped targeting us. I felt so shocked and freaked out I wasn’t asking many questions but what could their intentions been? I’ve heard the Red Light District is not very dangerous because there are police officers and the area was crowded with both women and men. I ..read more

Hey Amsterdam, Our beautiful city is drowning in rubbish, and it’s frustrating to see. Bags torn open by seagulls, piles of cardboard next to full bins, and sidewalks looking like second-hand IKEA stores. The Gemeente’s "dynamic collection" system from 2020 didn’t work out and cost around 3 million euros. So, I decided to try a simple solution: Bin Vinder. Here’s how Bin Vinder works: Each bin has a QR code that shows the nearest available bins when one is full. ? Google Maps gives directions to nearby bins from your location. ?️ The data from QR scans helps improve bin placement and collect ..read more

I run long distance frequently since years. This is something that always has bothered me, but now I feel like it is happening to me more and more often - unleashed dogs attacking me when I try to pass by. Today it happened again. When I see unleashed dogs, I try to pass by meters away from them to not to disturb them, as was the case today. However, the dogs still came after me barking, and while I am not afraid of most dogs, I cannot tell for sure which ones won't bark. The owners can see me coming a straight line towards them for minutes before I pass by - and they consciously decide not t ..read more

I’m looking for information on government websites and I’m not sure if I understood correctly what’s going to happen on 2025 with the zero emission zone. I have a 125cc petrol motorbike, and guess I’ll still be able to ride through Amsterdam until 2030. Is that correct? Is the ban only valid for diesel? submitted by /u/gcstr [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
