Hey Andy, hope things work out for you. I'm officially moving to the dam however! Let me know if you get the job and would consider sharing a flat, I believe its the cheapest way to get a decent sized place close to or in the center. The problem with the flats to share I found is that they are non smoking!
I used to have a mini air filter due to a dust mite alergy, it doubled as a serious smoke clearer whilst toking. It was made by remington, and may help.

Are you sure about a company who's Human Resources department works on Sundays is the one for you? Haaa!

Congrats really. I know you are a regular to Amsterdam so you know your way around and have probably been working on the tal as well. Let me know if I can help you get settled. There are some apartments in my neighborhood for rent.

I start my new job on the 4th February in London, for 3 days training, then Saturday 7th Feb I fly out to Amsterdam, and I'm straight into it that week.

The HR dept doesn't work Sundays you'll be glad to hear, (I certainly am), The regional AV manager who interviewed me was tied up in conferences all day Friday, but decided to phone me Sunday rather than waiting until Monday, so I had a chance to get going on the resignation at my current company.

Mate im excited just thinking about you working and living in Adam! Are you going to limit your smoking compared to when you just visit for holidays? (I wonder if I would have the will power :? ). Have you got a gaf sorted?
