In a few weeks I'll be setting off for the Netherlands, where I don't know a soul or a lick of Dutch. Are there any other forumengers presently stationed there? I've been before, although only for a few days at a time, so I need some advice.
Firstly, I assume the canal belt, Jordaan, etc., will be relatively out of my price range for accommodation, so what's a nice place to stay that won't break the bank? What's a reasonable price for rent? Flatmates or one bedroom?
I'm a freelance journalist, and just found out that my main magazine client is folding, effective immediately, I've got some cash saved up + some contacts in the city, although they are mostly big-name advertising and creative agencies, but I'm going to need to find another source of stable income. Courier-work would be ideal, but lack of comprehension in Dutch will probably be a barrier. Does anyone know of good work for native English speakers? Willing to do anything pretty much, outside of construction and prostitution.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
Dan

be careful out there today chaps, while riding, a sudden side-gust forced me to crash at full speed into the back of a parked car, causing me to somehow open a huge gash on my hand with loads o' blood. And while on the way to the clinic to get stitches, a similar wind pushed my missus into the back end of a lorry, where she smashed her head on its rear door and bent her forks backwards. Luckily, no concussion for her, but the bike is in bad shape.

I'm curious to know just how common this whole situation is. Someone mentioned that the bike looked powdercoated, and I agree, so I'm assuming the thief had to take apart the entire bike to get the frame off to Armourtex. Sounds like a whole criminal operation. Would it be possible to build a beater as a sort of 'bait bike', park it front of RichMix with a sally-of-a-lock, and wait in the shadows until the inevitable theft, before following the thieving cunt back to their den of iniquity in Upper Clapton, where a rag-tag bunch of forumengers proceed to pilfer their way through his/her DVD collection and what not, before setting the place alight?
