My passport and driving licence were missing…

But…

When you visit the city of Amsterdam’s department for the homeless, you are not allowed to take anything with you other than paperwork. Everything goes into a locker and if you lucky, you’re also asked to go through the metal detector. I was during my second visit.

My passport and driving licence were with my paperwork for the City of Amsterdam, of course. I was pretty devastated when I left and didn’t return my 🆔 to its usual spot. Besides, they want you to leave the office asap. Previously, I went into a KFC to do the things that I needed to do, but this time I was even more deflated – or, powerless, rather – than after the second visit.

Phew. All’s well that ends well. 😊

I find it pretty despicable that only the homeless are treated like criminals in Amsterdam, but none of the other citizens. That is an expression of povertyism.

How ridiculous this is? You CAN get free hot drinks on the other side, so it’s not actually security-related at all. 🙄
