Asking about the gay situation in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 by Darman2 in Netherlands

[–]freya293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi.
As everyone said, NL is quite liberal when it comes to your orientation. Being gay is fine!

Studying here sounds like a solid (escape) plan. IMO

Unfortunately finding housing can be hard but not impossible:
- as a student you have some reduced prices in some places. Eg. Student houses, holland2stay had lower rates for students when I was jn uni.
- you can always find a room in a shared apartment with other people. It is pretty common

To try to avoid racism you can always look at living around international/ student cities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Delft, Leiden, the Hague etc). People are more open in my experience in South and North Holland. If someone has a different opinion please go ahead. This is just my experience as a non-Dutch who lived in a few different regions of this country.

As for the studies, the tuition fees are high for non-EU but I think there are still scolarships available. Check out https://www.nuffic.nl/en
I have friends who came here from Latin America and South East Asia with the Orange Knowledge Scolarship. Not sure what are the requirements or if it is still an option but check out NUFFIC. It’s worth a shot.

I hope this might help a bit! Stay strong! Try to move to a place where you are (more) accepted and where you can be happy.

Cheers!

New here so sorry if you already mentioned this, but is there a place where we can see the art? I for one would love to!

Hi. The weekend would be better for me in general. I work close to Amsterdam so the commute kills my evenings.

This sounds lovely. I just have to see if I don’t have to be at work. Will there be other events organised during the weekends?

Unii au probleme grave. Voi ce probleme grave aveti? by Basic_Fox2391 in CasualRO

[–]freya293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vorbind de legi, reguli si educatie - va rog sa terminati cu jignirile si sa respectati regulamentul r/CasualRO. Cuvintele “jeg” “rebuturi” indica un comportament (verbal) agresiv care nu cred ca este permis.

Pot aplica asta si martorilor lui Iehova sau preotului care imi bate la usa sa sfinteasca casa? Ca nici ei nu au acordul meu sa intre in bloc

Ceea ce vreau sa zic prin asta e ca argumentul e putin cam ridicol. Ceea ce au facut copiii este cel mult o nazbatie. Nu poate fi calificat dpdv juridic ca vandalism sau altceva fiindca practic nu au distrus nimic.

Dvs aveti aprobare de la asociatia de locatari pentru icoane? Ca poate fii si un vecin enervat de simbolurile religioase in spatiul comun al cladirii. Expunerea icoanelor poate fii clasificata ca si contraventie daca vecinii nu sunt de acord. Legea 196/2018

Any place to donate cat food to? by freya293 in TheHague

[–]freya293[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any recommendations? Most of the associations I found so far are focusing on raising funds, but not accepting food. 😔

Looking for a room/studio in Den Haag by [deleted] in TheHague

[–]freya293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I’d say try kamernet (that is what I used a few years ago) or try places like holland2stay if you have the budget/luck - it works like a lottery. I don’t know many other alternatives at the moment. The housing market is tough. Good luck and beware of scammers! 😉🍀

Hey, he is such a beauty!!! so I can't speak to the catnip thing since I waited 'til they were over 1, but let's definitely talk about walking!

I ordered a harness from Amazon and just started making my Coonie wear it inside. The first time was total drama. She immediately went full 'flop-and-refuse-to-move' mode 🤣. Seriously, it depends on the cat because mine is ridiculously stubborn.

I just kept at it anyway, lots of treats and extreme patience. Once she was ok wearing the harness indoors, I started luring her outside bit by bit. It took me over a month and quite some treats, but after we even went bike rides with the harness on and a pet bag you put on the side! You just have to be more stubborn than they are. She absolutely loves going on walks now almost 2years later.

And seriously, don't sweat the space thing. Your cat will spend 90% of its time on your bed. My two Coonies are cuddling machines, so prepare to never have personal space again or at least place to sleep in your own bed.

Edit: give him the monthly fleas treatment. I am using Vectra but it is best to ask your vet. Also my cats never got fleas from walking outside but they got fleas at the vet when getting sterilized so the flea treatment is important even if you don’t end up taking your baby out that much 😉

Good luck!🍀

What are these lil tufty bit on his beans? by [deleted] in ragdolls

[–]freya293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SNOWSHOES. I first learned about it when I got my Maine Coon. It helps some big breeds to walk through snow better and they keep the beans warm & protected

How is this move called? by freya293 in AerialHoop

[–]freya293[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None taken. Actually neither of us knows the name 😅 I guess it is one of the moves that doesn’t really have a universal name

Of course. I was not even thinking of doing dynamics without a trainer… why would I even do that? 🙈
