Spanish in Amsterdam? That sounds refreshing. Whenever I eat at a restaurant in Amsterdam, I get served in English about 80% of the time.

This started in Amsterdam in the 1990s but now also happens in regional cities. Restaurants in Breda of all places has English speaking staff. At least there is still a head waiter who speaks Dutch. I personally don't mind much. Whenever someone on Reddit says the Netherlands is xenophobic it makes me laugh.
