Recently, there has been a lot of outrage over plastic waste that ends up in seas, lakes and rivers. It causes an increase in pollution, and at the same time it is very dangerous for animal species.

Club 28 – the smallest nightclub in the world measures less than a toilet cubicle https://citymagazine.si/en/club-28-the-smallest-nightclub-in-the-world-measuring-less-than-a-toilet-cabin/ Thu, 09 Mar 2017 07:01:35 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=293552

The smallest nightclub in the world was opened in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. It sounds like a Club 28 and measures less than a toilet cubicle, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a dance floor, a DJ, lighting effects and a disco ball! Think it's too small for you? Think how many times you've felt like a sardine in a nightclub...

Syr – a restaurant opened with start-up capital that employs refugees https://citymagazine.si/en/syr-restaurant-opened-with-money-of-people-employing-refugees/ Fri, 24 Feb 2017 07:00:28 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=291127

Similar to Kuhinja dela, the Dutch restaurant Syr also has a very special story. It was opened with the help of start-up capital. Over 500 investors have invested in it, and its specialty is that it employs Syrian and Afghan refugees who came to the Netherlands as part of the wave of refugees. It serves indigenous dishes from Syria in a European style.

After the Dutch, the Swiss presented their country to the American president in a satirical way and in the style of Donald Trump. Which promo video made you laugh the most? Dutch or Swiss?

"We realize that it is better to understand each other, so we decided to present our country to him in a way that he will probably like," begins the Dutch satirical show Zondag met Lubach, which filmed a funny video dedicated to the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump. In it, they present the Netherlands to him in his style, with his rhetoric and vocabulary, and boast, among other things, that they "placed" an ocean between the Netherlands and Mexico.

LED-zebras: in the Netherlands they have light-up pedestrian crossings https://citymagazine.si/en/ice-zebras-in-the-dutch-have-shiny-crosswalks-for-sands/ Mon, 09 Jan 2017 07:03:57 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=282051

Pedestrians are among the most endangered road users, so it is crucial for their safety to use traffic areas intended for walking. One of these are pedestrian crossings, wide white cross lines, which are often overlooked by drivers. That's why they made 'zebras' that glow in the Netherlands.

Movie trailer: Onze Jongens (2016) - Hot Mike the Dutch way https://citymagazine.si/en/movie-trailer-onze-jongens-2016-hot-mike-in-dutch/ Thu, 29 Dec 2016 07:04:07 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=video&p=279845

Onze Jongens (translated as Our Boys) is a Dutch film about a group of young construction workers whose fortunes have turned their backs on them, but only until they form a boy band that turns their lives upside down. In other words, Onze Jongens, also known as Boys Will Be Boys, is Hot Mike in Dutch. Entertainment for girls like never before in the cinema!

Looking forward to December and with it many pre-New Year's parties. Many people will look too deeply into the glass that night and lie in bed with the cat the next day. You've probably heard of many ways to cure a hangover, but definitely not this one. In Amsterdam, for all those who partied too wildly the night before and feel the negative consequences the next day, the world's first hangover bar has been opened, which in a unique way helps alleviate the consequences of drinking. It sounds like the name Hangover Bar. And no, it's not a wedge-with-a-wedge method.

In front of the main train station in Rotterdam (Rotterdam Centraal), on the 75th anniversary of the reconstruction of the city, which was devastated by the Second World War, a massive staircase was opened to the public. This leads to the top of the monumental and historically significant Groothandelsgebouw, which was completed in 1953 and is one of the first major buildings built after the bombing of the city.

When it comes to the Dutch, innovation and quality of life are high on the list of imperatives, so it's no surprise that it was there, in the city of Oss, that they introduced the first smart road with illuminated lane markers. So the future will be brighter and much safer.

We can go to Amsterdam by car and use the drive for a quick highway course to get to know some European countries. If we have more time and are fans of romance, we can choose the train, otherwise we look for an affordable option for the fastest way to the Dutch capital from the airline ticket providers.
