Yep, been to one iny village. It was great to interact and learn useful skills. I offered my mending skills in trade for a minor bike repair. It is not required at all to contribute when asking for a repair, but a lot of "customers" offered their time or some cash for the service. The repair café has been in town for several years now. Could be that the Dutch version differs somewhat from the US version. For everyone that thinks that this is a cool concept but doesn't have one in their town: why not start one yourself!
