Some things the Dutch totally have figured out
Showers: One knob for temperature, one knob for turning on and off/ pressure. Who really wants the hot knob and the cold knob? You end up spending so much time balancing the hot water and cold water, and rarely end up with the perfect temperature. In the Dutch showers, when you find your perfect temperature, you just leave it there because to turn off the shower you don’t even have to touch the temperature knob.
Heating systems: All, well most, have heating in their floors. There have been some American bathrooms that have floor heating, but the Dutch have the whole house. Think about it, heat rises, so not only do your feet stay warm while you walk around the house, but the heat then fills the room from the ground up.
Bikes: A typical Dutch bike has the lock built in it. The gears are covered and the lock is just under the seat. You turn the key, push the latch down, and take the key with you. When it’s unlocked, the key just stays in the bike. Even though you should have an additional chain lock in busy cities, how smart is it to also have a built in lock, you don’t have to remember to bring it, and it’s not a nuisance to carry because it’s part of your bike.
More to come…
