Exploring and Eating in Amsterdam. Rembrandt. A Flea Market and FEBO.

I spend a day exploring and eating in Amsterdam of The Netherlands. I start my day off with coffee from coffeecompany and then I explore the Rembrandt House Museum. After that, I check out the Waterlooplein Market, a long-standing flea market selling antiques and vintage items. Next, I purchase some Dutch snacks from FEBO, a chain of automat restaurants. Later I get coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts and then fries from House of Fries. After that I explore Dam Square and sample some cheese from Cheese & More by Henri Willig. Finally, I walk around and explore the beautiful streets of the city before I have a quick dinner from Wok Inn.

The Rijks museum is one of the greatest

[@Jamesnu]

Indeed! I went there later in my trip and was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of masterpieces! It's definitely a fantastic museum!

[@markpriest589]

You make me feel as though I'm traveling alongside. Thank you! Love this channel.

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you! I really appreciate hearing that!

[@tiffanywitherspoon8722]

Could you see yourself living in Europe someday?

[@Jamesnu]

Maybe, but not permanently. I love Europe, but NYC is home to me.

[@keilnirby]

Just binged most of the channel's videos over the past few weeks. I'm an upstate New Yorker who's been living in Vietnam for the past six years. If you ever have a mind to do a southeast Asia adventure, let me know. Cheers.

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you! I appreciate it! I'm sure I'll get there sometime.

[@helloarial]

Amsterdam is so beautiful and I can’t wait to visit this July. Can I know the l name of the place around 11:25 mark of your video?

[@Jamesnu]

Absolutely! Amsterdam was one of the most beautiful cities that I've ever been to! That spot was right outside Amsterdam Centraal train station. It was gorgeous! I really hope that you enjoy your trip!

[@NoahEats]

Amsterdam runs on Dunkin'

[@Jamesnu]

Haha! Indeed!

[@brodypilcher3643]

Man looks like a nice place go visit and a lot of history round there….btw how was the race and what was your time?…if you don’t mind puttin that out there my time would be embarrassing so I wouldn’t post it

[@Jamesnu]

Absolutely! There's so much history in Amsterdam. The race was great! I was really worried though. On the day I got there it was pouring rain, but thankfully the weather was great for the race and I finished it in 3 hours 14 minutes and 31 seconds. I felt that I still could've done better though. I really should've gotten to the city earlier before the marathon as I was feeling the jetlag on race day, but still, it was a fun time. I'll be posting a short video detailing my experience of the marathon in the future.

[@johnchojnowski8790]

As a former runner your time was very good . Next time you will break 3 hours

[@Jamesnu]

@@johnchojnowski8790 Thanks! I hope so. It will take a lot of work for that, but I'll try.

[@brodypilcher3643]

@@Jamesnu man that’s pretty good time very good pace…well I’m glad we will get to see a little bit of the race soon then I was hopin u would post somethin about it…I can’t blame you for the jet lag I’m sure that would have u bummed out but to still make that time very nice my man

[@Jamesnu]

@@brodypilcher3643 Thank you! Yeah, dealing with the fatigue wasn't easy, but I still had a fun race and I'm excited to share more about it soon!

[@Piffydaily]

@6:29 I see they're still calling it "Dunkin' Donuts" over there & not Dunkin' or Dunkin Go...hmmm lol

[@Piffydaily]

Even though I still call it Dunkin Donuts myself, I don't care what they rename it🤣

[@Jamesnu]

@@Piffydaily I do the same thing! But I do think the company is transitioning the stores over there to be just Dunkin' eventually.

[@juangarcia-gv2jy]

In Spain they call it Dunkin' just like in the United States.

[@juangarcia-gv2jy]

In Spain they call it Dunkin' just like in the United States.

[@Jamesnu]

@@juangarcia-gv2jy Thanks for sharing! It's seems like the company is gradually changing their name to Dunkin' everywhere.

[@s_przybylowicz]

Fries for lunch sounds like my kind of meal!

[@Jamesnu]

It was a decent lunch! Obviously, healthy eating was very important to me this day!

[@KEMET1971]

Why don't you get a sim card when you travel out of the country?

[@Jamesnu]

That's an option, but I just wouldn't have much use for it when I can use wifi later. It would've made it easier to find places with Google maps, but I always find where I need to be eventually.

[@tomahern8967]

Another solid video James! The coffee shops are very “unique” not only for drinking coffee but for smoking weed etc…

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you! Haha! Yeah, there are a lot of herbal products certainly available in the city.

[@cagdasevrimyildirim1485]

Why did you not come to rotterdam and kinderdijk?

[@Jamesnu]

I really wanted to go to those cities and others, but I just ran out of time. Still, I really enjoyed Amsterdam, and next time I'll do a better job exploring around the country.

[@juangarcia-gv2jy]

Great video! I like those convenient food cabinets and that Dunkin Donuts. And i like Amsterdam because it's a very bicycle friendly city.

[@Jamesnu]

Thanks! Yeah, those were some tasty snacks. I also really like the vast numbers of bikes in Amsterdam. It looks so much nicer because of the lack of cars!

[@laughtersforever1]

Nice Video. Amazing 🤩👌

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

[@borispeper6981]

So glad you enjoyed this magical city.

[@Jamesnu]

Thanks! Amsterdam is indeed a special place!

[@sunnybeachwalks4k2022]

Great video really enjoyed it

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@Mongoose-ct6us]

I like Utrecht. So nice to see you get out of NYC

[@Jamesnu]

Thanks! Yeah, Utrecht was one of the other cities I wanted to check out on this trip, but ran out of time. Next time though!

[@Mongoose-ct6us]

@@Jamesnu Amsterdam is nicer and cleaner than NYC and people are better over there.

[@Jamesnu]

@@Mongoose-ct6us Yeah, it didn't take me long to realize that too! I love NYC but there's a lot that the city could learn from Amsterdam!

[@pizzareviewsonthego]

Never been but I'm fascinated by this country. I hope to visit someday. I would probably go to the city of Utrecht first.

[@Jamesnu]

Yeah, the Netherlands is a great place. It exceeded my expectations. Utrecht looks incredible and I did plan to go there for a day trip, but time got the best of me.

[@TruckerCarlson-i3s]

You will never go.

[@NoahEats]

I would have loved to see some marathon images!

[@Jamesnu]

I'm making a short video about my marathon experience. I'll post it in a week or two.

[@choochalah]

how awesome. I liked your taking us on a walk about and some simple fare. are you finding food was expensive? what was the vibe like with a war going on in Europe?just curious how it felt

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you! It was a nice vibe. The war seemed very distant, but at the same time, I know that Europe is going through an energy crisis because of the war, but I didn't really feel the effect. Still, that could've been because I was a tourist and didn't have to deal with the same issues that the country's citizens would. Pricewise, everything was more affordable than NYC, which was so nice! It did also help because the exchange rate against the dollar was very good. Overall, at least as a tourist, it wasn't a bad time to be there. It was an amazing trip!
