eannealexander asked:


I’m looking at an apartment over there and was just wondering what that area is like? I don’t want to go too high up into West or East Harlem and I commute to midtown. Any input is appreciated!

On vacation in Paris, Amsterdam and London, the apartments we rented had no window screens, yet there were fewer bugs in the apartment than we’d expect at home. Are the flies differenet, do they not like to go indoors?

After a trip to Amsterdam a month ago i’ve been fixated on the idea of moving over there. Is there anyway I can just packup and go with my girlfriend? Everywhere I look for apartments they are looking at 2000 euro per month, even in Jordaan and Haarlem the rent is not that much cheaper.

Any advice on housing would be appreciated.

Secondly finding work is another problem… personally I have a background in IT and have found many specialist IT positions yet most require specialist experience or qualifications. I have college (UK BTEC) qualifications at the highest possible level before University and have a varied knowledge of all things IT and currently run an online store and offer local support. However any jobs I have heard back from won’t consider an application till I have a Dutch Social Security number. Not that I want to be stuck in IT, i’d happily work in a bar/restaurant/coffeeshop or anywhere else in the city. Data entry would even get me by as the City is so wonderful. Is it easy to get a job?

If I were to just packup, go and register with local police authorities in Amsterdam to say I now live there would I be able to claim Benefits to help me get by? And as for accomodation how would this work?

Believe me I don’t want to stay on benefits and i’m a hardworking individual. I just need to get out of England .

Kind regards and hopefully someone can help!

The cross streets of our new apartment would be Amsterdam and 125th street. It’s a big, shiny new one bedroom and we love the apartment. But we want to make sure we’re welcome and safe in the neighborhood.

im a junior in high school and i will be moving to amsterdam with a few close friends after i graduate. i need to know if there is any paperwork to do before i leave or if i can fly there and then work things out. were doing fairly well on money. one friend has about $60,000 and i have $200 but im getting really serious about raising money now. im unemployed currently but working on that. where could we live close to the red light district? how much is a house, apartments wont work as we need to grow. will $13,000 be enough to keep me afloat untill i get a job their? who would hire me? thanks for the help.
from your condesending tone i gather that you make assumtions of american children. i speak basic dutch, am in a graphic imaging program at a local college for half the day, and i am completely aware of the housing shortage in that area as well as the hugely inflated prices. i consider myself intellegent and compared to many of my peers i am not an ignorant product of the american school system, the us may seem nice to you but if you could see the stupidity that will be our future goverment you would reconsider. it was not my intent to just meander in to the netherlands and blow all my money untill i found that i could not support myself and return tail between the legs to the states to hold an office job for the rest of my life. it is not a “dream” like you say it is a reality, we have put many hours of work into planning a move out of this terrible country and its between ampsterdam and british columbia. we have put 5 times the work into planning bc. thank you for your input but–
yahoo answers was not my main hope for information, i just hoped that someone might give me a little advice from personal experience. thanks for the websites. just to clarify the decision was made 3 years ago and we are very serious and informed on this topic. so please pardon my additude.

Zayden asked:


I am currently planning a trip to amsterdam, I am wondering what is the best option for 4 people to be in amsterdam for 1.5 weeks. I am curious weather renting a house or apartment for the time would be the best solution. Or would staying in a hotel be cheaper? What are the best shops to hit and attractions to see. Im clueless about this place. Please only serious answers from people who either live there or have visited there. I would really love to talk to someone in depth about it and what are the best steps to take to have fun but also not spend a HUGE amount of money.

10 points for the best advice

Brussels, Amsterdam,Copenhagen, Paris, Hamburg, Madrid. It can be in the suburbs, doesn’t have to be downtown. Also needs enough room for three people to sleep, not necessarily three bedrooms.
