It's technically impossible to move to Amsterdam

[colinzeal]

i don't think thats the point

ah ignore me i must stoned!

[mark the martian]

its all relative, bet you'll get paid more than at home if things are twice as expensive?

For sure, it's just that short term bit of time where I'm spending NZ dollars here, it's like bleeding money


Haha it's all good man, I'm jealous. Almost 4:20 here, almost time maybe..

Hit up a squat. They do dinners, no choice on the menu though. I posted some links on the forum a while back.

The 'where's that' was a joke, right?
Well, yes, Berlin and Prague are less expensive. I dont really know why. But technically, if you just do your groceries at a supermarket, it's not expensive at all

i think amsterdam is also quite expensive.. it really depends on what your used to.

why would you assume its a joke.... i would assume your from the U.S..

i live in london, so going to amsterdam is no more expensive than being at home when it comes to buying food + i love AH, its like the waitrose of holland

If you are used to buying your meat at the butcher's, bread at the bakers etc., Holland isn't the cheapest. But just general food people eat isn't expensive...

Well you said you lived in A'dam, yes I'm an American, but I've seen those Albert Heyns everywhere. My PC got jammed when I went to their page with all of their stores in Amsterdam.
