Are you moving to the US? I remember that horror story you had with US customs a while back....

Hitchhiking in the Netherlands is not really an option if you want to get anywhere within reasonable time. Dutch people aren't very keen on taking hitchhikers along and I haven't quite figured out why. I'm not sure if it is because the hitchhiker gets a ride for free or whether they consider all hitchhikers to be bloodsucking murderers. To avoid long hours of wating along the highway just a few miles from my home, I took a train to Venlo, which is about 150 kilometres from The Hague at the Dutch-German border. German people are great when it comes to hitchhiking and they hardly hesitate to take you where you want to go.

"I'm not sure if it is because the hitchhiker gets a ride for free or whether they consider all hitchhikers to be bloodsucking murderers. "
both.
Hitchhiking in the Netherlands is near impossible, yes.
Unless you bring a hottie to do the flashing for you.

well, JazX, perhaps that did not have so much to do with you being broke, but more with your white ass.
;P

sorry Rand, I guess you didn't get the memo.
It's been my plan for a while now to move either there or to the UK so...yeah, it all just came together in the past month so, depending on how quickly I get my work visa, mrs_s and I will be over there in the next couple of months...

Anyway, have you thought of maybe Scandinavia, Mr. Snuggles?
They like Canadians.

does mrs_s work as well? and if so, did she find something?
- mr_snuggles0
I've got the job in Utrecht so I'm kinda sticking to that for now. At least a couple of years, then probably to the UK and then back to Canada eventually..
But I have applied to a couple firms in Scandinavia over the years, never with any great response though..

I see. Well good luck man and don't let Crouwel steal your stuff.
:P

janne, mrs_s works for a firm in toronto that has an A'dam office as well, so it's an option for her to maybe transfer. I've been so swamped at work lately we haven't even had much of a chance to sort this stuff out...
