[quote:Anonymous Coward 858876:MV8xOTU5NzM3XzMyODcxNjE4XzgyNDBBMDAz] [quote:Anonymous Coward 2050312:MV8xOTU5NzM3XzMyODcxMDMxX0NEMjcwNjk3] It was not free! Somebody payed it! [quote:Anonymous Coward 858876:MV8xOTU5NzM3XzMyODcwODExXzQ5QkU1MkM4] They have free healthcare. I was there as a tourist about 20 years ago and my friend needed to go to the emergency room. We were worried about how we would pay but it didn't even cost a dollar. The doctors were surprised that we were surprised at FREE healthcare. The people there are pretty nice, slightly mercenary, and don't have a lot of respect for what they perceive as the violence of Americans. They can't understand our gun rights, the high crime rate, and all the wars we are "involved" in. They are very efficient and clean. Many of them wash and scrub (with a scrub brush) the sidewalk in front of their house DAILY. The Dutch language sounds like English with a very heavy German accent, it's kind of cool to listen to it. The food is not very creative, lots of potatoes and cheese, kind of like Switzerland. I enjoyed my time there. [/quote] [/quote] Well duh. But their system is very efficient and the doctors all know going in to the profession that they will be paid at a standard rate. [/quote]

I'll be moving to The Netherlands soon. I just need to find a room to rent somewhere.
What can I expect? Culture shock? Immigrant prejudices?
Where do GLP'er's hang out over there? LOL!
