- Every Saturday, I do my weekly grocery shop. Being Dutch, usually I use my bike, but this time I'm walking. Join me as Igo to the street market, Middle Eastern market and regular supermarket.
I’m watching from Canada (Northern Manitoba) and we are currently having a wicked cold snap and it is -37 with the windchill. Interesting how the weather is so different from place to place (country to country) Loved your scenic walk. So beautiful there!
I should have made note it is -37 Celsius., Not Fahrenheit! Brutal, freezing weather!!! Ha ha
@@SherriOlson-km2cq that is very cold! Since we're right by the ocean, the weather is a lot more temperate here. It doesn't dip below about -10 usually in winter. Stay safe up there!
I know you meant Celsius :). The two scales are actually not far off at that temperature.
Hé Lelystad! Whoop whoop!
De enige echte!
I enjoyed this. Love to see what is on your route. I have such a curiosity about other countries, cultures, and of course---groceries!
Have a great week
Have a great week, too
I love seeing inside supermarkets/markets in other countries! Thanks for letting us tag along. I think I could walk to my closest grocery store in a pinch but it would be difficult. Its around 2.5 miles away but I would have to walk most of that on a very busy road that doesn't have sidewalks.
I'm spoiled for choice here. I can walk to at least half a dozen supermarkets within 15 minutes from my house. Supermarkets here are a lot smaller than in the US for example, but far more numerous. And they're located in residential neighbourhoods. Specifically so they're within walking/cycling distance for most people. Cycling is usually faster than driving, and even walking can be faster.
I feel healthier just watching you ! How cold is it ? Thanks Paul
It's currently around 0 C / 32 F. But no wind, so not bad at all. I haven't needed my big winter coat yet this winter.
i thought someone stole your bike haha 😅
While I've had my bike stolen plenty of times over the years, it seems lately thieves are only interested in more expensive (=electric) bikes. My bike is not very expensive, so the risk is very low. I do keep an old bike as a back up, in case something happens with my bike.
