Hey, are you still alive? ;)

Hello how are you?
Nice to meet you
Lovely profile
I like to make friends around the world
Maybe we can talk for a while
How is your day going?

hejhej! är allt bra med dig??

Hello There ^_^

Right, enough about me at the moment. I'll send you a private message in a minute about where you could apply. As I worked there, I can also tell you one and another about the company. So how is your Dutch going (for if you would like to communicate with a 'local' ;) )? As a Norwegian, what's your opinion about the European Union? And about whale hunting? Have you ever been to Nordkapp, as you didn't live very far away from it in Tromsø? And what do you prefer, light or dark nights during summer?

Vennlig hilsen,

David

Neah, it's not your imagination that we got a lot of bureaucracy over here. As in matter of fact, that's one of the reasons that a lot of Dutch people emigrate. Especially if you want to start your own company, you've got to go through such a shhhload amount of paperwork that it's just not worth while. Besides the fact that we nearly got to pay taxes on even our farts, because we pollude the air too much with them...

Anyway, to translate a Dutch saying literally to English; The grass is always greener across the road. Pretty big chance that your boyfriend knows what I'm talking about, if the sentence isn't selfexplanat​ory enough already. :) You probably came to The Netherlands as well with certain expectations​ that you couldn't fulfill (as good as you wanted) back in Norway, other than your boyfriend.

With that thought, I'm thinking of moving abroad as well. Scandinavia actually is pretty high on the list, but from what I've heard from the Scandinavian​s that I've talked with in the past, it's pretty hard to get a job out there and there's not a lot of fun things to do for youngsters, and life is also pretty expensive. Maybe you can tell one and another about life in Norway (or at least the places where you have lived)?

Another option I had in mind was Ireland, which would be even easier for me as I already speak English, while my Swedish is restricted to just a dozen of words. The reason why I didn't put my mouth where the money is, is that one of the main reasons of emigrating is that you think you will be able to find ultimate happiness in another country. And I'm not sure whether I will find that happiness abroad.

Hey, if you are looking for a job in Amsterdam and you don't mind working in customer support, I know a place where they sometimes need native Norwegian and Swedish speakers. So if you are interested, give me a message and I can tell you more about the place. :)

Anyway, saw on your weblog that you have also been to Rotterdam. If you live in Amsterdam, it's not such a good idea to start about Rotterdam in a really positive way. Amsterdam and Rotterdam are in this rivalry, ofcourse caused by football. But if there's something you still would like to know about Amsterdam, you can ask me if your man by any chance doesn't know it.

So where in Norway are you from? Oslo? Trondheim? Bergen? Stavanger? Kristiansand​? And what are the major differences between Amsterdam (and the Dutch people in general) and the Norwegian folks (in the place where you originally are from)?

Regards,

David

Hm. men att det regnar ganska mkt låter precis som skåne ;)
Tror faktiskt att det regnar i stora delar av Europa just nu -tråkigt men sant!! :) Åh, så du har familj i skåne.. coolt! :)
Vem är det som bor här då?? :) Helsingborg är en rätt mysig stad, det har du rätt i.. så det är inget fel med att bo här (än om jag saknar min familj som bor 120 mil från mig!) Vad var det som fick dig att flytta iväg då? Känner du dig hemma i Amsterdam än?? (för visst är du inflyttad till amsterdam??)​

*passerar förbi o ville bara säga hej*
allt bra borta hos dig?? Trivs du bra i amsterdam?? :)

Hey,

hoe is het in Amsterdam!

Groetjes Jeroen
