I've been to The Netherlands three times and to a few cities (Amsterdam, Utrecht, Den Haag and Haarlem) and I really like what I've seen of the culture. I've also been watching a lot of Dutch sketch comedy (Sluipschutters; Toren C) and Dutch humour is... weeeird... The very small bit of Afrikaans that lingered in my brain from coming from South Africa helped me a bit with Dutch vocabulary, but not much with grammar or pronunciation. :) But realistically, it's pretty hard to get permanent residence in The Netherlands unless you have a job lined up or tons of money. So I either have to come up with tons of money or apply for refugee status when Trump invades... Regards, Dianne.
