health insurance is compulsary
Prices in the stores are the same or cheaper, petrol more expensive (yes !!!)
They do speak good english but for living there you'll probably have to learn a little dutch. |
hm, I have military insurance that covers me no matter where I am, I called my agent and they told me it was transferable.. not really sure how that works over there.. I know enough dutch to save my life :P I had to learn it when I was over there during deployment.
and the area I'm going to could be anywhere in the "region" not exclusivly Amsterdam, since I could just catch a train to visit.. So if theres any other recommendation on other outlying areas that are cheaper that would be helpful
