Seven days to go



Pros and Cons of moving to The Netherlands

Pros:
-- Yummy cheese
-- Bicycle commuting
-- Cool, old neighborhoods
-- Proximity to the rest of Europe
-- Can take dogs everywhere
-- Charging for throw-away grocery bags

Cons:
-- Legendary bureaucracy
-- A language that's impossible to pronounce
-- Refusal of the Dutch to stand in line
-- No closets
-- Bad modern architecture (see Rotterdam's cubes and pencil above)
-- Average of only 3 hours of a sunshine a day
