Anonymous Coward User ID: 858876 United States 08/16/2012 04:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

I just need to find a room to rent somewhere. Quoting: aNONaMITTy What can I expect? Culture shock? Immigrant prejudices? Where do GLP'er's hang out over there? LOL! remember not to order a BLT.... it comes open face on non-toasted white bread with sliced hard boiled eggs... Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living. ~ Life is about choices, you get to make them each and every day of your life. ~ Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.~ Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poloi' in Greek meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.~ “When a government is dependent for money upon the bankers, they and not the government leaders control the nation. This is because the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Financiers are without patriotism and without decency.” If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain. Winston Churchill |

Shoot straight Johnny User ID: 22085744 United Kingdom 08/16/2012 05:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I can tell you all about the netherlands. There is nothing there at all except for windmills and fields of tulips. And fields of marijuana. And everything is completely flat, no hills at all, except for dikes which keep water out. And the national food is Edam cheese. Or am I thinking of Holland? And is Holland the same thing as the Netherlands? The chariots of God are tens of thousands, and thousands of thousands. |
aNONaMITTy (OP) User ID: 9834739 United States 08/16/2012 05:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | it's very easy to live in the netherlands. i got used to the coffee shops pretty easily, and dutch is super easy to learn. riding your bike everywhere is nice, too.. Quoting: chula homa Dutch is easy to learn? I'm glad to hear it but it seems such a different language. I think I'll like riding a bike and taking trains for transportation. "We are the music makers.
