De Bosrand is not so nice when you just need a packet of seeds or a new spade. Having to find your way through all the seasonall tinsel. They do easter as well. I think they keep three Chinese villages in full emplyment with all their LED-lit goodies. I would like one of their life sized polyester gorrilas for my allotment though. But they're a bit dear
Haha I imagine it’s not a store you can get in and out of quickly. I definitely have the same problem with IKEA too. Now I’m sad I missed the life size gorillas 😂
@@AnyoneCanTravel Yes, the Dutch language spells a lot of vowel sounds differently than we do in English, but the upside is that the link between sound and spelling is much more consistent in Dutch. The long a sound (like you're saying for Leiden) is usually spelled "ee" in Dutch, as in "veel" (many), "een" (the number 1) or Amstelveen. My husband and I are moving to Leiden soon. :)
Prrtty biased, born, grown up and never lived anywhere else. Leiden is better then Amsterdam and we want to keep it that way. Do not make videos of Leiden please. We feel overrun by tourists.
There is even a better Stroopwafel stand just a bit down the canal! Leiden is amazing, love living there ❤
We will have to try those ones next time! What an amazing place to live. We loved visiting 😊
My favourite town in the entire country.
It’s definitely a special place! I would love to go back and see more ❤️
It's so pretty! I don't know if it's the music or cinematography, or both, but this just felt so relaxing. I would love to visit the market!
I love markets! They so fun and I feel like they give you a peek into the locals lives.
Till it Rains 💀
Just be prepared and you’ll be fine 😊

Nice video. For info: the Dutch "ei" in Leiden is pronounced like a long I in English e.g. bite; not like a long A.
Thanks for the tip (and being polite about it)! I kept finding conflicting info so good to have an answer 😊

@velovoice47 I hope you have a wonderful trip to your new home! Sounds like a great adventure! ❤️
Leiden is in fact NOT a ¨mini Amsterdam"
Thanks for the comment 😊
It does look like a mini Amsterdam. What was the best thing you got at the market?
Definitely the mini pancakes! So yummy 😋
Leiden is very beautiful. I think a lot of people prefer leiden above amsterdam, because it is less crowded.
That’s true! Less crowds is always a good thing especially in beautiful destinations like Leiden. 😊
