neo, on a serious note.... I'm now living in the US but last year I lived in holland... Holland is a great country, but it definitely has it's downs as well... the expression "the grass is always greener on the otherside" is quite fitting...

Life in holland is VERY expensive... in the states the cost of living is not all that bad... a middle class family has a house with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, sometimes more and the rooms are spacious... the rooms here are usually 12m2 minimum in a middle class home... whereas in holland (especially in amsterdam) it is already very hard to find an affordable place to live that is both spacious and located in a good neighborhood...

Besides this, food is very expensive in holland compared to the states... For the same can of coke that you pay 75 dollar cents for here, you can easily pay 2 euro's in holland, just to give you an example...

If you are, however set on moving there, do extensive research before hand and make sure you get paid in euro's, not in dollars because the exchange rate really sucks and considering life is not cheap, you want to be getting paid enough... Also, I'm not sure if you can just immigrate and work there, I don't think so... You have to get work permits etc....

For the rest holland is a wonderful country, you can go anywhere you want with public transportation, you don't need a car actually, and that really gives you a free feeling not having to depend on other people for those things.... think carefully, because as much as I love holland still, I knew that for this point of my life, I could live there no longer....

Good luck and I hope this helped you

Well, in the supermarket a can of coke is 39 cents. Prices of food are the same as in the US, only restaurants are expensive. And the price tags include tax.

The things which are really expensive are gasoline, rent, taxi's and tickets to trance parties...

In the end it's always the same everywhere: it's cheaper when you're not in the city
