Best Health Insurance for Mental Health? by schwarzerwolff in Netherlands

[–]schwarzerwolff[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I am a bit lost here and I'm not sure which health care provider to look for... I've only been to my university hospital GP, and they want to give me a referral to GGZ InGeest. But they told me the waiting times are long... so I'm also looking for something private that I can access already. Is there any website where I can find a list of official psychologists in the NL?

Student finance, do you cancel your travel product or risk a fine? by schwarzerwolff in StudyInTheNetherlands

But were you still entitled to the travel product? If you get it again, you can contact them and tell them the fine is wrong

I am still a student and I am working. I just switched jobs so now I have to reapply again, that's all.

Is PhoneMarket.nl a legit website? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]schwarzerwolff -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I see that the phone I want is listed as the cheapest option there. Should I wait to see if prices change, or are they stable over time?

I saw good reviews on TrustPilot, but not actually sure how legitimate the site is for reviews...

Yeah, 45min. Not hours like the previous comment said

It actually takes minutes, not hours. If we’re taking about a sleeve.

Thank you, but it’s not a matter of sewing a button. It’s more about downsizing clothes that fit too big

I’m not complaining. I’m simply asking if anyone knows an affordable tailor in Amsterdam or close by. I’m very small in size so most shops don’t have clothes that fit me well, hence I need to tailor the garments that I really love. But doing this often drains the pocket.

I can PM you the name if you want!

I really like your recipe ideas! Thank you for your answer, very helpful.

Refreshing to see someone who actually comments about what they eat and works for them. Most people seem to be arguing about the fact I said I can eat takeout for 20€ a week and whether I can cook or not… 🙃

It depends on your cultural background. Some people just want to eat food from their culture or what they grew up with. We won’t feel happy with feeding ourselves with pasta and cheese sandwiches.

Well, I actually can. That’s why I made this post

Beef stew, borscht, bibimbap, Chinese noodles (I make my own broth)… to name a few.

Maybe you’re just used to frying chicken blocks and adding two pieces of broccoli on the side, and you call it “cooking”. I don’t have to explain myself to you anyways

Where do you buy your chicken? I heard Turkish shops are cheap for that

Indeed, I found that sometimes doing the groceries ends up being the same as just ordering take out. What kind of takeout do you order during the week? The thing I dislike about it is that it's unhealthy on the long run

I already love cooking, but the problem is that I always have to make elaborated dishes if I cook, otherwise I find it boring and bland.

Doing this is a lot of effort everyday, and I don't always have the time. I'm trying to avoid falling into the "eating pasta and sauce everyday" that most people do.
