I’m not entirely sure if there’s any out of pocket cost to this but it certainly gives me a good feeling that I’ll be taken care of when I need it. There was an emergency that happened right front and center of our office and we got a good bird’s eye view of the proceedings. From a third floor apartment, it took two firetrucks and an ambulance to retrieve a man who, incapacitated as he was, given how he was carried to the ground, was probably lucky he couldn’t see how it all ‘went down’.

That’s life in Amsterdam for you.
