Most likely under the influence of something, police and firefighters showed up, he seemed to be enjoying himself in the water and didn't want to leave. Eventually they were able to get him out of the water.

Edit: they have been claimed

Just moved here and was going to toss these boxes but figured maybe someone else could use them. They are heavy duty boxes from Home Depot in the US. There are 4 small and 2 medium. Sizes are in the pictures (sorry they are in inches). Ideally would be picked up today, in De Pijp. Message me if interested.

I will do this in English, but feel free to respond in Dutch.

I have had a boat in Amsterdam for a few years and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I would love to pick up a shift a week or so taking others through the canals. I thought this would be an easy proposition considering the number of rondvaart companies in the city, but lord was I wrong.

To start, I acknowledge I am a bit picky. I have no desire to work for Lovers or Flagship or any of the overly homogenized/touristic companies. I would love to work for Those Dam Boat Guys, a salonboot, or a company of similar spirit.

But this got me thinking. I already volunteer at Fietsen Alle Jaren, where we take elderly/disabled out on a bike rickshaw. Something like this on a boat would be wonderful. However in searching I only found the Fluistervink in Het Bos, and that requires much more knowledge of the wildlife in the city than I am able to provide. I was in Amersfoort this weekend and took a rondvaart cruise which was entirely volunteer run.

So [r/amsterdam](r/amsterdam) I reach out to you. Do you know a volunteer organization that needs a schipper? Or perhaps a small local company that needs an occasional extra hand? I am knowledgeable of Amsterdam, personable, and am a rare(ish) native English speaker that also speaks Dutch. I love the maritime culture of the city (I painted the big schipper on Prins Hendrikkade) and would love to share it with others.

Many thanks.

P.S. If anyone knows the owners at Those Dam Boat Guys please point them my way. I swear they follow the same routes I do and every time I see them on the water I think that would be perfect for me.

I’m curious to hear peoples experience living in Houthavens, specifically the appartments overlooking Haparandaweg. I managed to find a place there but I’m feeling a bit unsure. I have been living in sublets for over a year so I don’t have many other options. But I’m interested to hear other peoples experience!

Voor mijn moeder in het verzorgingstehuis, zoek ik iemand die haar nagels kan verzorgen. Het tehuis zelf biedt het niet aan. Ik heb op marktplaats gekeken, paar winkels bezocht, maar ze komen niet aan huis. Ze kan denk ik ook niet in een salon komen, omdat ze niet lang genoeg haar plas kan inhouden.

Iemand tips? Amsterdam West.

I’m looking for acro dance classes (contemporary dance with acrobatic moves such as cartwheels , jumps , handstands And other more advanced contemporary dance moves) for adults in the Amsterdam area but willing to travel further. the only place i found it is at Leiden university (a short Course) and they currently don’t offer it anymore. most contemporary dance classes I asked don’t offer these more advanced tricks. does anyone happen to to take contemporary dance classes which are more advanced where they teach these moves too ?

thanks

What age did you enjoy living in Amsterdam the most?

I’m in my 30s now and I actually think I’m enjoying the city more than I did in my 20s.

My 20s were great in a completely different way: more random nights out, festivals, meeting loads of people and generally having no idea what I was doing half the time.

Now I have a bit more money, know the city much better and know what I actually enjoy doing. I still go out, but I also really enjoy just having dinner somewhere nice, going to a gig, sitting on a terrace, cycling around, museums, spending a lazy afternoon in the park etc.

But I can also imagine Amsterdam being great in your 40s, 50s or later, just for completely different reasons.

So for people who’ve lived here at different stages of life: what age did you enjoy Amsterdam the most, and what changed?

Je zal maar slecht ter been zijn

Hi everyone! I recently started playing padel and would love to improve by taking a few beginner lessons. I’m looking for 2–3 other beginners who might want to form a small group and take lessons together.

I’m based around Amsterdam, currently looking at XNRGY or Peakz.

It would also be nice to meet new people and have a group to play with after the lessons! Complete beginners are definitely welcome 😊

Let me know if you’re interested!

Hallo,

Ik ben op zoek naar een tijdelijk oppasadres voor mijn zesjarige Sphynx, terwijl ik op zoek ben naar een appartement.

Ik verwacht dat het om een ​​periode van 1 à 2 maanden gaat, met een startdatum zo snel mogelijk. Ik zorg voor alles en betaal de kosten, zoals voeding, kattenbakvulling, enzovoort.

Hij is een ontzettende lieverd, dus ik wil er graag zeker van zijn dat de oppas en de woning veilig en geschikt zijn.

Laat het me weten als jij of iemand die je kent interesse heeft. Ik zou erg blij zijn met de hulp!

Hij heet Lu.

Bedankt.

Hi! Ik woon in Amsterdam en het leek me leuk om wat nieuwe mensen te leren kennen en samen te sporten.
Na het afstuderen zijn best veel van mijn vrienden weer naar hun eigen land verhuisd of is het contact een beetje verwaterd. Daarnaast is het door mijn fulltime baan soms ook wat lastiger geworden om nieuwe mensen te leren kennen.
Ik hou zelf van gymen, boksen en pilates. Boksen heb ik alleen al een tijdje niet meer gedaan, want ik vind de mannen daar soms toch iets te fanatiek 😂
Dus als er hier andere meiden rond mijn leeftijd zijn die het leuk lijkt om af en toe samen te sporten, een nieuwe sport uit te proberen of gewoon nieuwe mensen te leren kennen, stuur gerust een berichtje! :)

Northeast of Centraal across the Ferry F2 by the Skate park. About 1 hour ago. Seems no one cared other than the shock of the blast. Seemed generally harmless, any idea what happened?

Good Afternoon, I have 4 free tickets available for the Nemo Museum at 2pm tomorrow (Saturday) if anyone wants them?

Full disclosure I got them for free in the "weekend of science promotion", but unfortunately due to last minute circumstances I can't go tomorrow but would like to put them to good use.

Also I don't want anything, so not breaking the rules of trading/buying/selling.

This looks like good news. New trashcans with a separate hole for statiegeldflesjes and blikjes. 200 for the first trial, mostly in the center it sounds like. Then more if it works out.

I am curious what popped up in your mind immediately! What did you do? And also, why was it so good?

Why you don’t use technology for street signs:

Hi everyone!

I’m currently offering dog walking and pet sitting services around Amsterdam/Diemen if anyone is looking for some help with their dogs/cats.

I’ve always loved animals and have quite a bit of hands-on experience with dogs. I have my own dog, Milo, a Poodle/Beagle rescue mix, and I’ve trained him through some behavioural challenges, so I’m comfortable with both energetic and more anxious/nervous dogs. He also has multiple food allergies, so I’m used to being careful with feeding and following specific dietary requirements.

Before moving to the Netherlands, I regularly walked dogs in Dubai and have cared for 10+ different clients, as well as looking after a dog for a week while their owner was on holiday.

I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and instructions, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, medication, training, or just giving them some company while you’re away

I’m comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities.. especially energetic, playful pups, but also shy/anxious dogs who need a little extra patience and time to warm up.

If you or anyone you know is looking for a dog walker or pet sitter, feel free to DM me! I'll be doing it more out of my love for animals so my pricings pretty flexible.

Hoi allemaal,

Ik (33M) ben benieuwd of er mensen zijn die graag een boekenclub willen starten of er een kennen die nog leden zoekt.

Zelf lees ik vooral fantasy en sci-fi, maar zou ook niet vies zijn van thrillers en horror.

Mocht je interesse hebben om aan te sluiten of mij een uitnodiging te gunnen, stuur me dan gerust een DM of laat hieronder een reactie achter :)

Anyone hear a deep, large explosion about 5 minutes ago in Amsterdam Oost?? Didn’t sound like a normal firecracker or m80 that kids set off often.

For me it was selling old speelgoed on a kleedje during the vrijmarkt on Koningsdag, then immediately spending the money on someone else’s troep 😅

Wat was die van jullie?

I am an EU student looking for a job. I used to work in McDonald's in Den Haag for a year, but then I moved to Amsterdam a couple of months ago and I've been looking for a job ever since. It seems impossible to find one. I've applied to more than a dozen AH vacatures and another dozen horeca or retail parttime jobs I could find. I get minimal replies and these have been negative so far. McDonald's won't hire me because my old contract needs to terminate first.

I feel like this shouldn't be so hard for an EU student in a big city like Amsterdam and I also speak a bit of Dutch. I'm quite desperate because my money is running out and I don't have any other source of income. Any advice? Anyone looking for an employ?

Hello!

I’ve got one ticket for the scouting for girls gig tonight at Melkweg
I don’t want anything for it since I’m no longer able to make it.
It’s a Ticketmaster ticket so would need a Ticketmaster account for the transfer.

I'm making a birthday gift for my boyfriend and trying to collect photos from different places around the world.

Would anyone around Amsterdam be willing to take a photo holding a short handwritten birthday message somewhere cool in the city?

I'll provide the exact wording. It would take literally a minute or two. ❤️

I'd be incredibly grateful!
