Here is the description of an “apartment to rent” for gay tourists in the beautiful Jordaan area of Amsterdam. I wish I could live there! One bit of Dunglish stands out from the rest and has to do with “the backside of the apartment”. The moral of this story is don’t translate “achterkant” literally.

Good thing there are no letters missing from ‘beatiful canal view’ …
