Another thing I noticed is that the Dutch love to give their buildings names, and if they are stuck for a name, they just call it "[something] House", or "[something] Huis" (in Dutch). Here is an Apple store aptly named: "MacHouse".
The other thing about this picture which is hard to tell, is that the pedestrian crossing signals had this great user interface feature whereby when the red signal was on, the lower signal had a count down timer displaying how many seconds remained until the light turned green. It worked on me. Anytime I was at one of those cross walks I didn't feel the usual urge to dart across the street. I just sat and watched the countdown timer....3....2....1....go!
