When I visited Amsterdam I had to take few days to adjust to the fact that as a pedestrian you have to be pretty much aware what's happening at nearly 360 deg around you when you try to cross any sort of curb.
In my home country it's usually sufficient to make sure nothing is coming from the left to not be in any immediate danger.
After those few days of adjustment I found Amsterdam to be amazing place.
There was no other place in the world where I felt that the city treats me like a real adult perfectly capable of taking care of my own safety.
