I moved to Amsterdam from NY and love watching videos from tourists to see their perspective of this city I now call home. I actually learned something new watching your video. I unknowingly filmed the flower bike man the other day while sitting in the dentist's office. My husband was getting some work done when I saw a man riding a decorated cart bike while pushing another decorated bike simultaneously. I recorded a quick video to show my husband and while watching your video realized it was the flower bike man!

That is a big move but sounds so exciting, congrats! 🤩 I also love watching tourist videos of NYC so I totally get it lollll and yes!! That is so neat, I wish I saw more of his bikes while walking around… the story behind it is just so so cute and sweet 🥹 TY for watching! ❤️

[@milapotter6114]

One of the best travel videos I’ve seen about Amsterdam. ❤

[@bymichlea]

Thats such a compliment thank you!!!!!!!! 😄

[@spoken2]

nice !! i leave for Amsterdam tomorrow for 4 days . thankfully , i have a friend who lives there with whom I’m staying with. excellent video !

[@bymichlea]

Have a fantastic trip! Hoping you have some fun things planned :)

[@ramblingbard]

Can’t believe you got to see the Pikachu exhibit!!

[@bymichlea]

It was so so cute ☺️

[@bigj3346]

Nice video! I'll be leaving for the Netherlands and Belgium in 2 weeks. I'll be spending 4 days in Amsterdam, 1 day in Bruges and 2 days in Antwerp. Can't wait!

[@bymichlea]

Ohhhh that sounds lovely!! I’ve never been but Bruges is on my list… it looks SOOO pretty

[@aranthos]

I LOVE Amsterdam, it’s such a cool city. Never did the Tony’s chocolate before tho, definitely going to do that next time!!!

[@bymichlea]

It is!! I NEED to go back again I feel like there’s still so much I haven’t done

[@thelittlebrownsparrow]

When did you go to Amsterdam? I’m wondering if the Pokémon collaboration items will still be in the Van Gogh museum next month. I know the cards are long gone but I want the other merch more than the cards

[@bymichlea]

Hi! Unfortunately I think the exhibit ended in January :/ definitely check their website!

[@user-es2wm6nv3n]

Cool video! Will you be coming back to The Netherlands to see other places than Amsterdam?

[@bymichlea]

Yes! I definitely plan to, just don’t know when yet haha

[@ageoflove1980]

Well, the story about those two houses is actually more funny. They were owned by a guy who apparantly had some connections. So, he found out that there were plans to build the hotel and the company behind it was buying up the land. So the owner, knowing that the company was already invested raised the prices to a completely unreasonable level, thinking they had to buy it anyway or cancel the entire project... Well... You can see what the result of that plan is! :D

[@bymichlea]

😅 he definitely wasn’t expecting that one haha

[@ohitskarii13]

Did you buy a single day ticket every day to ride the tram\buses??

[@bymichlea]

We bought pay-per-ride, since we would usually walk to the destination while stopping for food and checking out small shops along the way. Then at night if we were really far away and too tired we would take the tram :)

[@parmentier7457]

You check-in with your debit-credit card in train, metro, tram en bus. There are also 24h en 48h tickets.

[@ohitskarii13]

@@bymichlea thank you so much!

[@harry225]

One advice; never by the Stroopwafels at the Van Wonderen shop! There overpriced and not that special at all. Just get them from any regular supermarket and they will taste just fine.

[@bymichlea]

Ohhh Great tip! I agree, I tried supermarket ones and they’re very similar to the packaged fancy ones. Though the fresh, warm ones are a big difference 😄

[@markockeloen8329]

Just to be honest, but why does every tourist only want to go to Amsterdam??? What’s the hype? So much more to see then a tourist infested Amsterdam! Just saying as a dutchy….

[@bymichlea]

It’s a valid question! My best guess (as an American tourist) is that we tend to have fewer vacation days so when we visit we have less time to check out other cities

[@markockeloen8329]

Yeah, okay I understand, but still, Amsterdam???

[@rishic6701]

To experience red light district.@@markockeloen8329

[@bymichlea]

Lolllll yes there’s that too

[@CaBoela]

Hoor ik daar een lama schijten? Jij gaat zeker nooit naar Londen, Parijs of Rome?
