And what do you feel so far about life in Holland. Advantages and disadvantages from your point of view

Def pros and cons here for sure (like any new place). Though so far I find the people overall friendly and helpful. First time I took the train, I ended up on the wrong one. Needless to say, I surprised how many other passengers were willing to help. Though like anybody, just adjusting to a dif language, foods, and all those things we don't have from "back home." Still getting acclimated & meeting new people.
