But I think it's good to have some dutch so that I can buy groceries rite? -
I used to know a Sg girl who moved there because she married a Dutchman. She says not all Dutch can speak English. She's been there a few years and is still learning to speak the language. As for the weather, their winters are very cold.Originally posted by deathscythe99:I see I see.

Hmm is it possible to ask her regarding life over there, shops etc?
Was thinking I would at least need to know more stuff regarding local life and culture before I go over -

once you get acclimatized, you'll be prancing outside in t-shirt and jeans when it's below 0 outside ... -

prostitution is legalised and open(encouraged?), they even have like pensions or somethign for them just like a regular job -

I meant in terms of numbers...haha.
What should I preferably get? A winter jacket? Or a rain-proof and wind-proof jacket? -
Don't forget "The Flying Dutchman"
okay okay...........lame joke............
Anyways, enjoy your stay and have a wonderful time. -
It's probably cheaper to get one over there, then again the GSS is still on. A winter jacket would be preferable but it doesn't need to be the thickest one that's available.Originally posted by deathscythe99:Ahems...

So would you like the MSN contact of my friends? The only drawback is that they log on late at night. -
Hmm...maybe not for now?Originally posted by Kuali Baba:It's probably cheaper to get one over there, then again the GSS is still on. A winter jacket would be preferable but it doesn't need to be the thickest one that's available.

Thanks a lot tho! -
