Smiling and relaxed, Dutch farmer Jacob de Groot grips a pole and walks to the water's edge - chasing a thrill he first felt aged 10, vaulting across a canal.

Every summer, Dutch provinces from Friesland to Utrecht leap into "fierljeppen" season - a uniquely Dutch sport combining pole-vaulting, long jump and, when misjudged, unplanned swimming.

"This is really a typically Dutch sport," De Groot, holder since 2017 of the long jump record at 22.21 metres said

I think I have experienced the best train seating in Europe outside of 1st class. The new seating in the ICE3neo over the German/Dutch border is the peak of what I have experienced so far on (European) trains. The fabric has a nice texture, it has 2! outlets per pair of seats and 3 armrests (Dutch trains should def. copy that!), the table is very stable and big enough to fit the large macbook exactly. There is an integrated holder for tablets and smartphones (whilst this is a bit low for looking at your smartphone for hours it is still pretty good and an understandable compromise for accommodating both). Of course the seats are adjustable without bothering the person behind you and there is a net as well as a coathanger at each seat. There is a small trash at every pair of seats.

The consistency is a good firmness that you only starts becoming a bit uncomfy after some hours of straight sitting.

Which trains in Europe do you think has the best seating?

Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence

A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.

Here we toast:
πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
πŸ§€ The freest of health care
🍷 The finest of foods
πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ The liberalest of liberties
🌍 The proud non-members and honorary cousins πŸ’Ά And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.

Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream β€œonly in YUROP.”

Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.
