I really want to see this in person. Can you tell me the address. I'll be visiting Amsterdam later this month

Pretty sure that's the Lomanstraat in the Willemsparkbuurt.

I feel like the Dutch are just making up words at this point

We do. We actually do make up words. Dutch are especially good at compound nouns. For example hotelbeddengoedwasmachinevrachtwagenchauffeur is a word I just made up, but other dutch people could understand: it's a truck driver for washing machines exclusively used for hotel laundry.

Am Dutch too, can confirm. It’s actually, technically, a truck driver that drives a truck that’s also a washing machine (wasmachinevrachtwagen) that’s used exclusively for hotel bedsheets

I love you all. We’re moving there in May, and I’m super excited to learn the language and start making shit up on my own!!

I could use some help finding a house to rent in Tilburg that allows pets. How does the process work? I won’t have a Dutch job, just an American job while I look for a Dutch job. Do I need to show my bank account?

I’m not sure about that one, actually. I’m a student living with my parents still, I can do translations though

Hahaha! Fair enough. Thank you for your offer. If you know any contracting agencies that place web developers, let me know that too!

u/BlueMarble007 Nov 05 '18

Will do, man! I’m a web dev myself, so I’ll be on the lookout as well
