    The average number of working hours is also lower because there are also more people (mostly women) working part-time, so 18-22 hours in total.

    I think you were lucky with your doctor in Portugal. I have my doctor in a private hospital and she doesn't care at all, she is just asking how do I feel and if I have any questions. That's all. I am vegan, so my iron is always low, so in the beginning of the pregnancy (15 weeks) I asked her if I should supplement it (my ferritin level was 16 according to the blood test). So, the answer of my doctor was: "Not now, you will feel sick after it. Let's discuss it on our next appointment" (next appointment is on 24 weeks). Can you imagine it? And I also had some pain during pregnancy, so I was trying to schedule an additional appointment with her. I can to the hospital, and they told me my doctor's free slots are only for January 2025 :) And another available doctor is in two weeks from now :) This is crazy.... I don't understand why this is happening in a private hospital (one of the top3 hospitals in Portugal)...

    Ola .. I am so glad I came across your video. I'm planning a month's stay in the Netherlands to see what it's like. Before deciding if i should move there long term. I would prefer renting. I'm single and unemployed and over 50. I am hoping to start a new life there and obviously find a job, if I decide;. The Netherlands is my future home. But I wish you could make some video about living and renting etc, outside the big cities, which are too expensive. I've done some research and there are even some markets in certain places, that have a good choice of fresh food and cheaper prices. (for those who prefer to cook their own meals, that is. Like I do (o; ) Do you think you could give some in depth info, about the places which have a cheaper cost of living, but are just as nice to live in ? pls. I understand some prefer the city life, but some have lower incomes or prefer somewhere which does not cost as much, as living in the big cities . Still I love your way of explaining, You have such an articulate and pleasant disposition. And ofcourse, you are very attractive too, if I may say so. And Portuguese. An other country, I may consider to move to.

    Many thanks for posting the video, it was really helpful and the links are fantastic. You explain everything so clearly. I lived in the Netherlands in the early 1990s and remember having to have house insurance and also third party insurance so if for example you damaged something at your neighbours the insurance would cover it. Do you still need those insurances and if so how much are they for a typical person living in a typical apartment? Given I can hardly speak any Dutch and not a word of Portuguese I should not comment but in case it helps an A++++ house is well "insulated".

    Many thanks for posting this, it was really helpful and the clauses sound a good idea. I did have a question, you mentioned a Property valuation and a Technical valuation, what is the Property valuation, is that something a purchasing real estate agent would do? I think the Technical valuation is done by a surveyor who looks at the condition of the property? Thanks again for explaining the process so clearly.

    Sounds like the netherlands is really poor in comparison with Portugal - dutch healthcare isn't as great as some people claim from my own experience. (at least in terms of the quantity of checks they provided / advice on supplementation which is critical for the development of the child)

    If you relocate to another country, inform yourself. If you have a contact already ask for particulier things like doctors and other issues. The open windows are more of the past, nowadays people have blinds or thin curtains that let light in but not inquisitive peoples stares. I came to the Netherlands from another country, too. If you want to stay you'll have to adjust.

    Ugh, this is so depressing. Why are expats so lazy nowadays, being content to speak Globish (simplified, non-native quasi-English used as a lingua franca) rather than learning the actual language of the country? That is the ONLY way to truly integrate. Dutch people‘s English is usually fine, but most of the time not great, and it‘s definitely not native. The Dutch are also part of the problem here- they need to encourage immigrants to learn their language more rather than eagerly responding in Globish whenever they hear a foreign accent.
