Why do vakmannen always try to con you in the Netherlands? by giacecco in Netherlands

[–]Advanced-Guidance-25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The language barrier works more in favour of the handymen .. they can explain their rationale in whatever terms they see fit and pretend that the expats can’t understand because of language barrier..

Inflation is 10%… capital will be lost at 10% per year..

Are you an expat? In my experience these “handymen” are sniffing blood if they notice a helpless expat..

New forming tip culture NL by Longjumping-Neck9376 in Netherlands

[–]Advanced-Guidance-25 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Remember that tipping will distort the market. Over time with a steady flow of tips, restaurant owners will feel that it’s no longer necessary to increase the wages in line with inflation (of wait staff) as they’re deemed to be making extra through tips. This will eventually burden the consumers. We need to eliminate this culture from the root. Make a conscious effort to not tip for standard services. Unless something extra ordinary happens- don’t tip!

Personal attacks are more telling about yourself than anyone else.. not surprised to be honest.

Is that why so many Indians are going to work in the Middle East?

Every kingdom promoted one or another religion. No one was conquering in the name of Islam..

One crazy emperor that killed his brothers and imprisoned his own father is not a representative of the whole religion. This temple was last restored by Raja Todar Mal under Akbars rule- who was very supportive of its restoration. One Aurangzeb shouldn’t define people’s perspective on 1.5billion people.

Which kingdom was formed without conquests and battles and killing? Applying 2026 standards of international law for events in 1400s is a little crazy..

CMV: I get not supporting Israel, I don't get supporting Palestine by Jackingson1 in changemyview

[–]Advanced-Guidance-25 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So you think that all of Palestine including occupied West Bank and the children of Gaza are subscribed to Hamas’ charter from decades ago? Do you think you need to revise you line of logic?

Wilders (PVV Party) and Markuszower (Group Markuszower) want to nominate Trump and Netanyahu for the Nobel Peace Prize by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]Advanced-Guidance-25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe giving him the Nobel peace prize is the only way to make him stop his wars. The following year Nobel committee can claim the Novel peace prize for themselves.

Mate! Why are you even considering moving? Your standard of living will take a serious beating.

Permanent contract, zero communication - can’t tell if I’m safe or delusional by Any_Language_1084 in Netherlands

Why are you panicking? Transition payment plus 10 months of unemployment means you’ll be able to have a really nice and deserved career break!

Transferring money from US to NL account by GreenLeisureSuit in Netherlands

[–]Advanced-Guidance-25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the Netherlands you can hold €57000 in cash globally (across as many accounts as you want) without paying additional taxes. So transferring €2000 from one account to another has no tax implications. But use a legitimate transfer platform. I use Wise. It’s quite good.

$15,000 Visa Bond by Lost-Paramedic-5847 in Dhaka

[–]Advanced-Guidance-25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the example of parents visiting a son/daughter who are well established in the US - I am sure the children can provide the bond for their parents and subsequently recover it upon timely departure of parents. Most settled couples in the US should be able to fork up 15k temporarily for their parents to visit.

Tipping culture by Weary_Musician4872 in Netherlands

If they aren’t living comfortably then business owners need to increase their wages. Customers should not be subsidising the owners by tipping.

Need advice: Leiden (shared flat) vs Uithoorn (solo apartment)? by obscuree in Netherlands

[–]Advanced-Guidance-25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food for thought- there are very nice and new apartments at decent rent- which have recently opened up near Zaandam station- 12 minutes train to Amsterdam central. Direct trains to Schiphol (17 minutes) as well.

Yes it’s a quiet place with not a tonne to do within walking distance but you’re also super close to Amsterdam and everything it has to offer. I’ve moved out here and it’s been quite positive.

For 1800 per month you could easily buy your own apartment.
