* Also make sure to check out some bigger supermarkets like Jumbo, Albert Heijn, Super de Boer. Those are the places to get free coffee and tea from the coffee machine located somewhere in the store!
* Employees in the very common BP gas stations (and Shell, and a few random other ones) tend to tell you not to hitch in front of the station, where the pumps are. Finding a ride at the parking lot, or thumbing where the back of the station starts is typically not a problem (but can be). It's best not to frustrate the staff, as the more often conflicts occur, the more likely they are to have an aggresive policy towards hitchhikers. Some staff are super nice to hitchhikers, though, and sometimes you can get free maps or coffee.
* When using trains in [[The Netherlands]], you can always travel at a discount rate (-40%). This works as following: Everyone carrying an OV-Card (public transport card)can bring two people with them at a discount rate. Just get into the train and ask the first young person if you can ride 'with them'. They usually won't mind and will be interested to hear your stories.
