    3 days in Amsterdam in july

    Since I am currently living in Amsterdam I thought I'd chime in. @Pasteton: what will be the nature of your visit? Me giving any advice on a romantic weekend with your girlfriend/wife will be very different from me advising you on a brilliant weekend away with friends. Also do you want the...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    You wouldn't even have to dish-out actual equity for this, a profit sharing system can be based on contracts as well, which makes terminating such a system on a individual basis much easier.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    My point more or less is that with competitors going under left and right (as described by Lyrical) I could imagine that there are opportunities to be had. Think cheap assets etc. to raise his capacity (a problem Lyrical adressess) for handling jobs. With his premium brand he potentially could...

    Stalker / surveillance help

    In the Netherlands this actually kinda true. The landlord does have announce himself and come by and reasonable hours though, so no midnight visits or anything, unless of course there is an emergency.

    Where to travel?

    Where are you from? What is your budget? How old are the kids? Just listing cool places in the world won't help you much!

    Netherlands

    I always found motorcycle rentals ridiculously expensive in the Netherlands, seriously if you are renting for more than a week you should look into buying second hand almost. That being said, riding a motorcycle is always fun and will give you the chance to actually see the countryside, go for it!

    Netherlands

    Groningen is also a great city to check out. The city's population mainly consists of students so there is a very active nightlife. There is also plenty of sailing opportunities in the north if that is your cup of tea. As for the rest of the country, Utrecht and Rotterdam are quite fun if you...

    Rosetta Stone: Espanol

    I found Duolingo to work quiet well, although it won't make you fluent either, it does teach you a lot of grammar basics. When I finish the whole program on gold, I figure I will start reading some books in spanish and work my way from there.
