I have written a few posts lately that have caused quite a stir, which was not my intention. For the record, I am 100% committed to moving to the Netherlands in March and I am very excited and looking forward to this time. I try to speak Dutch around the house as much as I can, although Kirsten frequently laughs at me.
I am doing a lot of reading on the subject: reading about other peoples experiences; reading about jobs and about places to live. Sometimes what I read is negative but most of it is positive. It is just circumstance that I posted the link to a “negative” page (although it was 50% positive). Perhaps when I am reading next time I will post some of the good links.
So Henk and Bea, when you read this, you can be sure that I will be bringing your daughter across the pond in March 2005.
You should get a book called My ‘Dam Life written by Sean Condon. It’s written by an Australian guy who moves to Amsterdam together with his girlfriend. My brother in law gave it to me for my birthday last year and I thought it was great. I’m sure you can probably relate even more since you’re Australian as well. (you are Australian, right?)
Anyhow, here’s a link to it on Amazon if you want to have a look:

I never laugh AT you baby, I laugh TO you!
