One time we were at our regular pizza place with a friend from the US and the server just came up and stood there, we placed our order as usual and our friend stammered out theirs, then the server walked off. Our friend was amazed that our server never said a word and that we didn't seem to perplexed by this :)<br /><br />Interestingly, on of our more popular posts is this picture of outdoor urinals http://wp.me/p2uX0C-dy and it is amazing how often people search this term!!

That is super practical, I like how the Dutch operate.<br /><br />Thanks for your insights on the cash only comment. It was a bit of an adjustment for my wife and I since we typically use our credit cards for everyday purchases to build up "reward points" to use for free hotel stays. Let me add, we pay off those credit cards every month, we're very responsible that way, unlike the other stereotypes you may have heard. There are responsible American credit card holders :) I do think cash and direct debits are smart ideas, just took a little getting used to.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and contributing. Hope you'll stop back.

It's like a little elevator, it only comes out at night and on special happenings. Practial or what!<br /><br />The cash only thing, most credit cards (used to?) charge for using it in shops so we dutch would only use it for special occasions. Furthermore, the debit card system has always been very popular. Most transactions nowadays are per debit card, which we don't really see as cash!Metanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594797268829263196.post-59910031852035903432013-02-15T12:22:13.228-05:002013-02-15T12:22:13.228-05:00Happy to give you a shout out Stu.

Pretty timely I guess. But I swear that meat sauce I had the other night could have been horse, tasted a bit off. <br /><br />I'll be sure to take plenty of urinal pics during Queen's Day. We'll be spending two nights in Amsterdam for the festivities. Can't wait!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04623142910681484928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594797268829263196.post-29194608367604064942013-02-15T08:33:24.724-05:002013-02-15T08:33:24.724-05:00Wait till Queens Day.

I'm not sure the meat should be tasting of horse but given what is happening in the news at the moment I would not be surprised.<br /><br />Thank you for the mention :)Invader_Stuhttp://www.invadingholland.com/noreply@blogger.com
