Separated from the rest of the city is Amsterdam Noord (Dutch for 'North'). This area lies on the other bank of the IJ-water. From the city of Amsterdam (by that I mean: the city center), Amsterdam Noord can only be reached by ferries, or by making use of the IJ-tunnel (which is currently closed). Of course there are other ways to get to Amsterdam Noord, but you'd have to take a detour.
It is said that people from Amsterdam Noord aren't really Amsterdammers, while the people of Amsterdam Noord are very proud to be from Noord, and would not change their house on the opposite bank of the IJ for a house in the 'real' city.
This picture is taken from the De Ruijterkade, on the side of the 'real' city.
Es mi idea o la gente del Norte de cualquier cosa es separatista? Norte de Italia, Norte de ESpaña ( los vascos)

Esos ferries son gratis o hay que pagar?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenPor suerte esa separación es mutua y no se busca imponer una sobre la otra.
Beautiful view and thanks for the new word.
