Result, more driving. I can hear the intercity trains racing by very frequently. The bus goes every 15 minutes but not to the station 6 km away. So unfortunate.

I love it. Both the app and the language.</p><p>The funny thing about Dutch is that the Netherlands are situated between England and Germany and to me the language feels like a mix of English and German. English has 1 gender (the), German has 3 (der die das) and Dutch has... 2 :-)</p>
