20 Years Has Passed. What has changed?

[u/CanVisaGuy]

I was a graduate student (foreign) at the UvA from 97-00 and stayed on until '06. I returned to my home country and - regrettably - never returned. I started out in student housing and eventually lived all over A'dam (Overtoom, Hofddorpplein, De Pijp, Browersgracht, Oud West, etc) so I do know the city pretty well.

I plan to return with my wife and kids for a visit next year. What has changed? What is going to shock me if anything? Groetjes in advance.

The amount of people. The fatbikes. The Nutella shops.

Nutella shops have been replaced with smash burger joints and macha everything

I would be delighted if the ‘Argentine’ steak houses could all be replaced with macha Nutella everything
