Puts NYC Metro/Subway to shame. I'll have to let you know what I think of the Dutch(never been to Amsterdam, but am thinking about it..debating between that and South Africa)...i do know what French are bit reserved....then they warm up, gradually... :) Will have to agree with Chris on how clean EuroRails are.

Amsterdam is an amazing city. If you do get a chance top come to Vancouver, you'll probably find how similar the people are. Amsterdam is a very liberal city. Hi Tigerfish: I do find that the Dutch are very genuinely helpful. Compared to say, Parisien, they are a world apart. They are patient and judging from the way they stop and face you (i.e. no standing in such a way that they just want to go) and have eye-contact speaking to you, I do think the Dutch are very friendly people. I have more people here chatting up with me (waiting on queue and on transit) that all the other cities I had been to combined. I came back with a very positive impression of the Dutch.

This commuting system? Wow. I am impressed. It's clean and looks incredibly comfortable.
