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.
