You can get rid of the tv option for ziggo. It doesn't say on the site but they can remove it when you call and save like 5 euro :)

Best Amsterdam Travel Guide I have seen, so far. Great job!!

So glad I found your channel. After listening to you, I decided I would never want to live in the Netherlands.

Thank you for sharing. Traveling next month

My dream place🥹 i hope i get to experience this someday

Thank you. Hope to be there December 2024. Appreciate all the tips.

Thank you, I am visiting in July and feel much more informed now, I am excited to check out the thosedamboatguys canal tour! ❤

Oh my word! I don't know if you remember me - It's Roy from IPS days! How wild that I've just stumbled across your content! I'm contemplating an Amsterdam move, so this is a helpful vid. Anyway, keep well! :)

Very good and informative info. My husband is a senior manager in food manufacturing. Is there a market for that?

May I ask how did you get to Cesky Krumlov town from the train station?

nice one for the maternity leave mate. honestly I get where you are coming from.

Was the weather still nice in October? and would you say that Nerja is a good base for 2 weeks in Spain? or do you have other recommendations? ❤😊

Say what you will about Wilders, but there are many first and even second-generation migrant citizens in the Netherlands, some whom also come from Islamic backgrounds, that share the same sentiments as him about the migration problem. Full is full!!! You won't ever hear that side of the story from the mainstream media because they only want to push one narrative. Unless you speak and understand Dutch well enough, you won't really grasp what's happening in this country from a political and cultural standpoint.

Very helpfull, thanks!

Thanks for this info!

i think the „diplomatic-ness“ you mention about the makelaar is sort of a Dutch cultural thing (which i’ve noticed in other settings) but I think it’s interesting that it extends to the real estate sector

I think you're very few rare youtubers who are true to each word. I connect with you, and you are real.

loved the expat/immigrant clarification!

Hey Lisa, would you be willing to share a link of the university course your taking to learn English and also how much it is per course / block?

Omg, the "Ni How" thing KILLS me! I never quite know how to respond. I normally just say "Hello" back in English, even though "Ni How" is a greeting, it feels very presumptuous just because I look Asian and also assuming I'm Chinese and not Japanese, Korean etc.

This is really helpful. Love it. Thanks a lot.

Hello, i'm looking for a side job in the Netherlands preciesly in Groningen, I immigrated two years ago on the student visa, Then we had Uber delivery, temper, and young ones that will could easily get a job in other to take care of bills especially tuition (8k), housing, feeding and others. As years go by, the freelancing app are gradually beeing stripped off, last year it was uber and now youngones and temper. I do not have any other place to work apart from Recruit a student that they can only give us 16 hours per week .if anyone has any idea of how i can get a cash on hand job here in the Netherlands, i will gladly appreciate Thanks.

Spain is a gorgeous country with unique culture, stunning architecture, warm weather, laid-back and relaxed lifestyle, sweet and sexy language, delicious food, and warm and hospitable people 🇪🇸♥️😊

What transport card is good for Amsterdam

STYLE

A small addition...Women who want a home birth are, according to videos from expats I've seen, supported. They can have a mid-wife at the house. After birth, the Kramzorg, a post-natal care nurse, comes for two weeks to help the new mother and baby. I think that is a unique feature of the Dutch health care system. I have not learned of such post-natal care elsewhere. If my Mom had received such professional care, she may not have had a post-partum slump (a/k/a the baby blues).

The most Beautiful city of the Netherlands.

I don't know why do people go to Marrakech and chose to skip Essaouira 🙄?

Is your husband also Chinese Australian like u or Australian?

It should not be 1300 euros per month per person on a house share ( 2 persons) but around 1900 euros per month/ person since the rent was 1500 euros per month.

In what domain does your husband work?

I'm Dutch and i cant remember my own name.

Great video

Thank you for making this video. I saw another one that recommended alot of museums - not quite my thing LOL! I like that I can take the train to small pretty towns.

Hi Leesa ! I just love your videos, you explain everything so well and your voice is so welcoming . i would love to listen to you on a podcast!

Was the €18k including the bid or separate from the expenses you paid?

In your definition, a seasonal worker on a farm is an expat. Ok, fine with me.

Nobody ever talks about the racism that white people experience in Asia. That IS there!! Or the racisme among Africans of darker skin tone. Racism is everywhere. When you look different, you will be treated differently. Like red heads among other white people.

Dear Leesa, may i ask the question about you speaking Dutch? I welcome evreyone and don't care were you come from, Welkom 💕 But I would like to speak Dutch with you, how do you feel about everyone speaking English and not Dutch. it seems English has become the standard but it it is not my language

The fact that people are against the expat 30% ruling is that they have an advantage on the housing market. They pay less taxes so have more money to pay for rent, so they can outbid a lot of Dutch. Another advantage is that the company which brought them over here, buys a home and rent it out at their expat employee. I live about 30 minutes outside Amsterdam and two years ago I put my 125m2 apartment for sale and about 28 people responded for the 2 viewing days, 13 were expats and another 2 represented companies who were searching a home for their expat employees. So a majority of interested people were expats. And this pushed the sales price up (good for me), I got 6 bids above the asking price of €450,000, 2 from Dutch people and 4 from expats. This time a Dutch citizen won, she could only bid so high because she sold her 60m2 apartment in Amsterdam city center for even more than she payed for mine. But she had to outbid the expats. First time buyers are really screwed by this housing market. But I don’t blame expats, I blame the politicians for creating this problem.

Thank you so much for this video series! you're so great at explaining things and being very thorough and detailed oriented.

Thank you Leesa, I like the way you talk and the content is really informative.

Racism in the Netherlands is mainly aimed at asylum seekers and Muslims. I am of third generation Indonesian/Moluccan descent. My parents were born here in the Netherlands, my grandparents in the former Dutch East Indies. But I am often asked where I come from? While sometimes I speak Dutch better than a Dutch person. Do I mind? No. But as long as I have lived here, and I am in my forties, I have never experienced racism and discrimination. And not to forget: the Indonesian diapora, consisting of Indonesians, Moluccans, Papuans, Surinamese-Javanese and ethnic Chinese, consists of 1.5 and 2 million people in the Netherlands. By far the largest diaspora group in the Netherlands. However, we are quite integrated and experience much less racism than Muslim communities. Crime rates are also very low or virtually non-existent among the Indonesian but also the Chinese diaspora. Wilders has many voters among the Indonesian and Moluccan diaspora, as well as the Chinese and black and Hindustani Surinamese.

wel expats do live in a bubble they don't really mingle with the dutch people so how is that integrating

Hi Leesa, I just found your Q&A video today. For me as a Dutchman it's always a good thing to realise how expats experience life here in Amsterdam. One thing I like to comment on is your remark about the election results last year. Yes, Geert Wilders and his party became the biggest party in parliament but because we have a large number of political parties, he only represents 25% of the population. Yes, it's a extreme right wing and racist party but where he got most votes was in parts of the country where few foreigners live. In Amsterdam he got less than 10% of the votes, ending in 4th place. Also, because of the sometimes direct and blunt character of the Dutch, some reactions will be experienced as racist while they have no idea that it is perceived that way. Hopefully the Netherlands will stay a liberal, progressive and tolerant society as it has been for hundreds of years. Let's see what this year's European election will bring.

Great advice! Thanks for sharing your experience on job hunting.

Love your videos!! Thanks for sharing so honestly. It really helps me and my family plan ahead.

Hi Leesa, Thank you for the video! As a (visibly) muslim expat of 5 years, I definitely understand the point you are making in terms of racism, discrimination and anti-expat sentiment that has been strengthening unfortunately. What has been quite eye opening for me is that looking the way I do (hijabi! here!) if I start to try to speak with my broken Dutch there's such a difference in a way that I'm treated vs. when I speak with my perfect English (which is still my 2nd language)! it is so weird, eye opening and kinda leaves me feeling so upset, especially with the recent developments

I am Dutch and have no problem at all with expats in The Netherlands. Very warm welcome to you all 🤗

Hi can you help me to find job there..i based on taiwan as a caregiver
