    So how easy is it for an American to move to the Netherlands? Asking for myself

        Or you’ll need to bring like 500k. No, that’s not a joke.

            The average price of all sold houses, including the shitty apartments in the middle of nowhere, is 440k

          Drive though the Netherlands in 3h

          It takes 1 hour to get from Germany in the east to Belgium in the west.

              If I can get from Dortmund in Germany to Calais in France in 4,5 - 5 hours (including stopping to fill up), I sure as hell don’t need 3 hours to go across the Netherlands.

              I used to drive regularly to Antwerp from Dortmund in a truck and it took between 3,5 and 4 hours.

                  So go look at a map. How far is it from Venlo to Eersel? It’s about 65 km. Add a couple of kilometres to the border in each direction - let’s make it a nice round number: 80 km all told.

                  How slow is your fucking car, you stupid fucking cockwomble.

                  BTW, the speed limit of 100 kph is only during the day. At night it is mostly 120 kph.

                  I see you edited your reply.

                  Germany in the east means: eastern side of the Netherlands, and Belgium in the west means: western side of the Netherlands. I also stated my start and end point for driving a truck, Dortmund and Antwerp. Again, go look at a map.

                  As you don’t have the ability to look at, and understand a map, I must assume my educational level is higher than yours.

                  You are about as intelligent as a metre of hard shoulder on a highway.

        The Netherlands is less than half the size of my state. There is nowhere in the Netherlands that is more rural than where I live right now, lol.

          Eh, there are a few spots that it certainly feels like it, especially the Frisian islands.
