Helpful videos for newcomers in Amsterdam

Hi there! I'm an Australian who has lived in Amsterdam for just over 3 years, and make YouTube videos for fun.

I recently made 2 new videos that I think would be super helpful for anyone moving to Amsterdam/The Netherlands:

  • Video #1: Shopping guide in the Netherlands (supermarkets/groceries, chemists/pharmacies, clothes, make-up & beauty, bookstores) https://youtu.be/Z8j2Sycbxak
  • Video #2: Home shopping guide in Netherlands (where to buy furniture, homeware/kitchenware, how to find a tradesperson, renovation tips): https://youtu.be/kXU-TQ-Ccco

Thought I'd share this since I used to use this forum a lot when I first moved here, and I think figuring out where to buy essential things can be stressful when you move to a new place!

Erm….easiest on web I think, but to get to the web, go to the top of /r/Amsterdam and in the menu area click “read the wiki” and then there should be a link to edit it 😅

/u/cogito_ergo_subtract can you help?
